Early Years Foundation Stage

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) guidance which sets out the welfare and learning requirements that all Early Years providers must adhere to. The play-based activities that we provide are based around the seven key areas of learning:

EYFS 7 Areas of Learning

Prime Areas
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development
  • Communication and Language
  • Physical Development
Specific Areas
  • Literacy
  • Maths
  • Understanding the World
  • Expressive Art and Design

Planning and themes

Our highly experienced and qualified team of early years educators, plan themed weeks with new and exciting activities provided. These activities are linked to the children’s likes and interests, and cover all 7 learning areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

At Barrow Pre-school Playgroup, we recognise the importance for providing children with learning opportunities and experiences which they may not have outside of the setting. We have visits from outside companies every term. We also take the children out on walks in to the village to experience being a part of the wider community.
