Vision and Goals
At Ladybirds we believe that children are naturally curious and capable learners. Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum is designed to nurture, challenge and inspire, ensuring that every child develops: a love for learning, confidence and independence.
The EYFS framework is divided into seven areas of learning. The three 'Prime areas' (Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Communication and Language; and Physical Development) are the main focus for our youngest children as these essential skills and knowledge provide the foundation for them to thrive and form the basis of learning in all areas.
As the children mature and develop, a greater focus is placed upon the four 'specific areas' of learning (Literacy; Mathematics; Understanding the World; Expressive Arts and Design) which strengthen their development in the prime areas whilst igniting their enthusiasm and curiosity.
During their time with us, we are working on children becoming individuals, with the following 12 skills when they leave us for reception:
​

Confident Communicator Independant Individual Fantastic Friend
Exceptional Explorer Amazing Athlete Talented Tool User
Brilliant Bookworm Willing Writer Master of Maths
