4. From birth to 5 years old any setting your child
attends will follow the Early Years Foundation
Stage (EYFS) to support your child’s natural
development and enhance their learning.
5. The EYFS has four key themes:
A Unique Child- Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be
resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
Positive Relationships - Children learn to be strong and independent from a
base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person.
Enabling Environments - The environment plays a key role in supporting and
extending children’s development and learning.
Learning And Development - Children develop and learn in different ways and
at different rates and all areas of Learning and Development are equally
important and interconnected.
Early learning is the key to
your child’s future and families
make the greatest difference
at this stage.

10. Enjoying and sharing books
Experience shows that children benefit hugely by exposure to books
from an early age. Right from the start, lots of opportunities should
be provided for children to engage with books that fire their
imagination and interest. They should be encouraged to choose and
peruse books freely as well as sharing them when read by an adult.
Enjoying and sharing books leads to children seeing them as a
source of pleasure and interest and motivates them to value
reading.
