Open your Eyes to the EYFS

Practitioners will be provided with a whistle-stop tour through the key components of the Early Years Foundation Stage, providing them with a deeper understanding of all aspects of the early years statutory framework. We will use statutory and non-statutory guidance to consider how to develop effective teaching and learning through establishing a deeper understanding of; child development, areas of learning, educational programmes, characteristics of teaching and learning, observations, assessments, planning, environment, continuous and enhanced provision and by exploring how these can be used effectively to meet children’s needs across the early years. This will be achieved directly through the training and through a series of gap tasks designed to provide practitioners with the opportunity to rehearse new learning within their setting.
