The Curriculum - “Pink and Blue Curriculum EYFS”
Pink and Blue Nursery follows the British Early Years Foundation Stages (EYFS) curriculum that focuses on 7-core areas of age-appropriate learning. Our well-developed and holistic curriculum combines learning with fun and incorporates languages such as Mandarin and a full fledged curriculum for English, Arabic, Islamic and French studies, along with various extra-curricular activities like football, music, zumba, yoga, etc.
Communication and Language
Communication and language underpins a child’s understanding, speaking, listening and attention skills. Communication and language is developed through rhythm and rhyme time, messy play, show and tell, group time, small world play and 1:1 Key Person time.
Mathematics
Mathematics develops the understanding of numbers, shape, space and measure. You will find Mathematics in our water play, cooking, puzzles, sequencing activities, following routine and mealtimes.
Personal Social and Emotional Development
Personal, social and emotional development helps children to develop a positive sense and respect for themselves, and for others. It enables children to learn social skills and a positive attitude to learning.
Literacy
Literacy is the foundation of learning to read and write. We support Literacy development through story time, mark-making, letter of the week and book of the month.
Understanding the World
Understanding the world explores people and communities, the world and technology. We support understanding the world through small world play, computer play, science experiments, music time, visiting the local community and celebrating festivals.
Physical development encourages moving and handling and helps develop an understanding of health and self-care. Physical development is encouraged in lots of ways including; obstacle courses, garden games (spatial awareness), mark making, threading and self-care activities.
Expressive Arts & Design
Expressive artsand design develops imagination by exploring and using media and materials through construction, role play, exploring materials, musical movement and creative activities.
Baseline
Every child at P&B ranging from Toddlers to the foundation stage has baseline assesments with 680 assessment goals in-line with the UK EYFS curriculum and P&B 3 year rolling curriculum plan. This ensures the target of 100% child development and learning is met and followed through.
ASQ3
The Ages & Stages questionnaire (ASQ-3) pinpoints developmental progress in children between the ages of one month and 5 ½ years. Supporting evidence has been shown to demonstrate that, the earlier development is assessed, the greater chance a child has to reach their potential.
