The Foundation Stage (ages 3-5)
The Foundation Stage curriculum outlines learning for children in Nursery and Reception classes. It is an activity-based, broad curriculum specifically designed for very young children. The Foundation Stage curriculum is divided into six ‘Areas of Learning’:
- Personal, social and emotional development
- Communication, language and literacy
- Mathematical development
- Knowledge and understanding of the world
- Physical development
- Creative development
Children progress through the Foundation curriculum by a series of ‘Stepping Stones’, ensuring that each child receives learning opportunities that are appropriate to their individual maturity and stage of development.
