Learning and Development at Little Foxes Newton
Children’s joy and happiness is a big part of their learning. At Little Foxes, we encourage them to have fun as a part of their education, with child-led activities which are adapted to their abilities and interests.
Our Curriculum
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) describes the time in your child’s life between birth and age 5. It is a very important stage, as it helps your child get ready for school as well as preparing them for their future learning and successes.
From the day your child is born up until the age of 5, their early years experience should be happy, active, exciting, fun and secure; and support their development, care and learning needs.
The framework was revised to make it clearer and easier to use, with more focus on the things that matter the most. This framework also has a greater emphasis on your role in helping your child develop.
Your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development.
Children should mostly develop the 3 prime areas first:
Communication and language
Physical Development
Personal, social and emotional development.
These prime areas are those most essential for your child’s healthy development and future learning.
As your child grows, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in 4 specific areas:
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive arts and design
These 7 areas are used to plan your child’s learning and activities. Our staff, who are teaching and supporting your child, will make sure that the activities are suited to your child’s unique needs. This is a little bit like a curriculum in primary schools, but it’s suitable for very young children and it’s designed to be really flexible so that staff can follow your child’s unique needs and interests.
Children in the EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside.

Keeping You Updated
When your child reaches 2 years old they will start getting progress checks. Our team will give you a written summary of how your child is progressing against the 3 prime areas. It will highlight areas where your child is progressing well and anywhere they might need some
extra help or support.
Communication and language
Physical Development
Personal, social and emotional development.
Supporting Each Child’s Unique Journey
We know that every child is different. That’s why we tailor our activities and learning approaches to meet the needs and interests of each child. Our staff observe each child closely to understand their strengths, challenges, and preferences, adapting our teaching style to suit their individual learning styles.
Children are encouraged to work at their own pace, and we celebrate their achievements, no matter how big or small. Whether a child is mastering a new skill or simply enjoying a moment of discovery, we provide the guidance and support they need to continue growing.
Partnership with Parents
We believe that parents are a child’s first teachers, and we actively involve families in the learning process. Through regular updates, parent consultations, and an open-door policy, we ensure that you are always informed about your child’s progress and learning journey. We encourage open communication to build a partnership that supports your child’s development both at nursery and at home. We also provide Brain Box, our online learning portal, to share learning experiences and support children’s development at home.
