Early Years Curriculum

Like most nurseries, Al Emaan nursery follows the statutory framework of the Revised Early Years Foundation Stage, introduced from September 2012. We take into account the individual need, learning styles and interests of the children. We aim to provide a rich environment and believe this to be key in providing for every child's learning experience. Continuous Provision offers children a constant environment that is safe for them to explore whilst challenging their learning. We allow children the freedom to explore and become independent in making choices.

The Early Years Foundation Stage follows a principled approach under four themes:

A Unique Child
Positive Relationships
Enabling Environments
Learning and Development

The children work towards the early learning goals through seven areas of learning. Three areas are particularly crucial for igniting curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, forming relationships and thriving.

These three prime areas are:

Communication and language
Physical development
Personal, social and emotional development

Alongside these areas there are four specific areas through which the prime areas are strengthened and applied, these are:

Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the world
Expressive arts and design

The curriculum for the Early Years Foundation Stage should underpin all future learning by supporting, fostering, promoting and developing children's positive attitudes towards their learning.

Our staff work together and plan effectively to best meet the needs of each child. Through these first hand activities, based on play, we will help your child to develop: confidence, concentration, co-operation, curiosity, creativity, independence, self-esteem, the ability to communicate and an enthusiasm and enjoyment for learning.
