Educational           The development of children’s spoken language underpins all seven areas of learning and development. Children’s back-and-forth interactions from an early age form
Programme                the foundations for language and cognitive development. The number and quality of the conversations they have with adults and peers throughout the day in a
                          language-rich environment is crucial. By commenting on what children are interested in or doing, and echoing back what they say with new vocabulary added,
                      practitioners will build children's language effectively. Reading frequently to children, and engaging them actively in stories, non-fiction, rhymes and poems, and then
                       providing them with extensive opportunities to use and embed new words in a range of contexts, will give children the opportunity to thrive. Through conversation,
                       story-telling and role play, where children share their ideas with support and modelling from their teacher, and sensitive questioning that invites them to elaborate,
                                                               children become comfortable using a rich range of vocabulary and language structures.

Educational
Programme                    Children’s personal, social and emotional development (PSED) is crucial for children to lead healthy and happy lives, and is fundamental to their cognitive
                      development. Underpinning their personal development are the important attachments that shape their social world. Strong, warm and supportive relationships with
                      adults enable children to learn how to understand their own feelings and those of others. Children should be supported to manage emotions, develop a positive sense
                        of self, set themselves simple goals, have confidence in their own abilities, to persist and wait for what they want and direct attention as necessary. Through adult
                         modelling and guidance, they will learn how to look after their bodies, including healthy eating, and manage personal needs independently. Through supported
                       interaction with other children, they learn how to make good friendships, co-operate and resolve conflicts peaceably. These attributes will provide a secure platform
                                                                             from which children can achieve at school and in later life.

Educational
Programme                  Physical activity is vital in children’s all-round development, enabling them to pursue happy, healthy and active lives. Gross and fine motor experiences develop
                           incrementally throughout early childhood, starting with sensory explorations and the development of a child’s strength, co-ordination and positional awareness
                       through tummy time, crawling and play movement with both objects and adults. By creating games and providing opportunities for play both indoors and outdoors,
                         adults can support children to develop their core strength, stability, balance, spatial awareness, co-ordination and agility. Gross motor skills provide the foundation
                        for developing healthy bodies and social and emotional well-being. Fine motor control and precision helps with hand-eye co-ordination, which is later linked to early
                            literacy. Repeated and varied opportunities to explore and play with small world activities, puzzles, arts and crafts and the practice of using small tools, with
                                                              feedback and support from adults, allow children to develop proficiency, control and confidence.

Educational
Programme                    It is crucial for children to develop a life-long love of reading. Reading consists of two dimensions: language comprehension and word reading. Language
                          comprehension (necessary for both reading and writing) starts from birth. It only develops when adults talk with children about the world around them and the
                          books (stories and non-fiction) they read with them, and enjoy rhymes, poems and songs together. Skilled word reading, taught later, involves both the speedy
                        working out of the pronunciation of unfamiliar printed words (decoding) and the speedy recognition of familiar printed words. Writing involves transcription (spelling
                                                           and handwriting) and composition (articulating ideas and structuring them in speech, before writing)

Educational
Programme              Developing a strong grounding in number is essential so that all children develop the necessary building blocks to excel mathematically. Children should be able to
                      count confidently, develop a deep understanding of the numbers to 10, the relationships between them and the patterns within those numbers. By providing frequent
                         and varied opportunities to build and apply this understanding - such as using manipulatives, including small pebbles and tens frames for organising counting -
                      children will develop a secure base of knowledge and vocabulary from which mastery of mathematics is built. In addition, it is important that the curriculum includes
                         rich opportunities for children to develop their spatial reasoning skills across all areas of mathematics including shape, space and measures. It is important that
                        children develop positive attitudes and interests in mathematics, look for patterns and relationships, spot connections, ‘have a go’, talk to adults and peers about
                                                                                what they notice and not be afraid to make mistakes.

Educational
Programme                 Understanding the world involves guiding children to make sense of their physical world and their community. The frequency and range of children’s personal
                        experiences increases their knowledge and sense of the world around them – from visiting parks, libraries and museums to meeting important members of society
                       such as police officers, nurses and firefighters. In addition, listening to a broad selection of stories, non-fiction, rhymes and poems will foster their understanding of
                      our culturally, socially, technologically and ecologically diverse world. As well as building important knowledge, this extends their familiarity with words that support
                                                understanding across domains. Enriching and widening children’s vocabulary will support later reading comprehension.

Educational
Programme             The development of children’s artistic and cultural awareness supports their imagination and creativity. It is important that children have regular opportunities to
                         engage with the arts, enabling them to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials. The quality and variety of what children see, hear and
                      participate in is crucial for developing their understanding, self-expression, vocabulary and ability to communicate through the arts. The frequency, repetition and
                                     depth of their experiences are fundamental to their progress in interpreting and appreciating what they hear, respond to and observe.
