Our Early Years setting follows the curriculum as set out in the 2023 Statutory Framework.  This includes 7 areas of learning and development that are equally important and interconnected. However, 3 areas known as the prime areas, are particularly important for igniting curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building children’s capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive.

The prime areas are:

• Communication and language
• Physical development
• Personal, social and emotional development

The prime areas are strengthened and applied through 4 specific areas:

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive arts and design
