WHAT IS THE EYFS ?

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the national framework that underpins everything we do. It promotes the holistic development of children from birth to age five, focusing on communication, physical growth, emotional well-being, and cognitive development. At Little Cubs Day Nursery, we use this framework to help us create a balanced and enriching learning environment where every child feel safe, supported and inspired.

LEARNING THROUGH PLAY

Children learn more when they're engaged—and nothing engages quite like play! Our daily activities are guided by the EYFS principles and designed to stimulate curiosity, problem-solving, and imagination. Whether it’s messy play, music time, sensory exploration, or outdoor learning, every moment is an opportunity to discover and grow. Learning at our nursery is fun, purposeful, and child-led.

SUPPORTING COMMUNICATION AND PERSONAL GROWTH

We place strong emphasis on helping children express themselves and connect with others. Through storytelling, role-play, group activities, and one-on-one interactions, our staff fosters confident communication and emotional intelligence. We help children build self-esteem, learn to manage feelings, and develop respectful relationships—core elements of the EYFS Personal, Social, and Emotional Development goals.

PREPARING FOR SCHOOL AND BEYOND

Starting school is a big step, and our EYFS framework ensures children are more than prepared. We gradually build key academic and life skills like early literacy, numeracy, focus, and self-care. Through structured learning and free play, children develop the resilience and independence they need to thrive in the next stage of their education—and beyond.
