Green Roots Nursery & Pre-School

EYFS

Green Roots has been designed specifically around the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (EYFS) because it recognises the holistic nature of development and learning. The emphasis of EYFS is that children learn through interaction with people and exploring the world around them.

Each child is assigned their own Key Person, helping to ensure care is tailored to meet the child’s individual needs. EYFS identifies the individuality, efforts and achievements of children and recognises that learning and development take place during all activities. This framework gives children the support to enable them to fulfil their full potential.

Freedom

We want children to be free to make their own choices, free to move around our play areas, gardens and outdoor areas, and be free to play, talk, run, observe, experiment, taste, test, respond, reflect, learn, create, explore repeat, question, plan, engage, develop…

The four overarching principles of EYFS are that every child is unique, can learn to form positive relationships, can develop in enabling environments, and can learn in different ways, at different rates. 

The EYFS approach, paired with the Green Roots ethos creates a wonderful environment for your child to learn and thrive in. We are committed to maintaining excellent childcare in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Individual records

We know the importance of understanding each child’s individual needs, therefore we observe and monitor each child’s unique development stage to ensure they have great roots for further learning. Any areas of concern are supported in partnership with parents and when necessary, additional professionals. We complete a review for each child when they reach 2 years, which helps to ensure every child joins school ready to go! This review identifies strengths and any concerns about the development of the child. Please view this guide for guidance about your child’s learning and development. 

We use an online system to record, plan and share each child’s learning journey. Each parent has a secure login, in which you are able to view and add information to your child’s progress at any time. The system also has the facility to record daily information, including photos.
