Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

At All Vergens Baby Haven, we follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, thoughtfully designed to support children from birth to 6 years during their most important developmental years.

Our approach recognises that young children learn best when they feel safe, loved, curious, and confident. Learning at All Vergens is therefore delivered through purposeful play, guided exploration, creativity, and hands-on experiences that nurture the whole child, socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually.

We create a calm, stimulating environment where every child is encouraged to explore at their own pace while being gently guided by trained early-years educators who understand each child’s unique needs and potential.

The EYFS Learning Framework

The EYFS framework at All Vergens is built around seven interconnected areas of learning, carefully balanced to support both foundational development and academic readiness.

Prime Areas of Learning

These areas form the emotional and developmental foundation for all future learning:

  • Communication & Language
    Encouraging confident expression, attentive listening, and early language skills through storytelling, songs, conversations, and play.

  • Physical Development
    Supporting healthy growth, coordination, fine and gross motor skills, and self-care through movement, play, and age-appropriate activities.

  • Personal, Social & Emotional Development
    Helping children build independence, confidence, positive relationships, emotional awareness, and strong social skills.

Specific Areas of Learning

These areas introduce children to key academic concepts in engaging and age-appropriate ways:

  • Literacy
    Developing early reading, writing, phonics, and a love for books through fun and meaningful activities.

  • Mathematics
    Building early numeracy skills such as counting, problem-solving, shapes, patterns, and simple reasoning through play-based learning.

  • Understanding the World
    Encouraging curiosity about people, nature, cultures, technology, and the world around them.

  • Expressive Arts & Design
    Inspiring creativity, imagination, music, movement, art, and self-expression.

At All Vergens Baby Haven, our curriculum is not just about learning — it’s about laying strong foundations for life. We focus on nurturing confident, happy, and capable children who are well-prepared for the next stage of their educational journey.
