OFSTED and EYFS
Ofsted regulates and inspects nurseries throughout England, ensuring that nurseries fully comply and maintain the National Standards set by them. We regularly review, develop our practice to Ofsted recommendations and requirements. The EYFS emphasizes on children learning through education and play. This helps them understand their surroundings, to develop socially and emotionally.
Parent partnership and learning through play are the core values within the EYFS and at Twisty Tails Nursery we aim to follow these values to our best ability. The EYFS concentrates on 7 areas split between Prime and Specific areas of learning, as follows:
The Prime Areas of Learning are:
Prime Areas
- Communication and Language
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Physical Development
The Specific Areas of Learning are:
Specific Areas
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Expressive Arts and Design
- Knowledge and Understanding of the World
