Learning and Curriculum in Nursery
At Midfield, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, comprising of 7 areas of learning which are divided into 'prime' and 'specific' areas.
Prime Areas:
- Personal, Social, Emotional Development
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
Specific Areas:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive Arts and Design
Our children meet learning experiences for all seven areas through a healthy balance of both adult-initiated/adult-directed and child-initiated play along with a problem solving approach to learning. These approaches enable them to develop a number of competences across all the areas of learning.
