Understanding the world in EYFS

Here at Bridgewater we firmly believe that with the right foundations, there are no limits to a child’s potential. Playing, exploring and active learning are all essential building blocks, crucial for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning and critical to their personal, social and emotional development. Which is why, as a family-focused school, we provide an inspiring and nurturing environment from which to explore the world, right from the start of each child’s learning journey.

Pupils in Kindergarten and Reception follow the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) curriculum in which the ‘Seven Areas of Learning’ are an integral part of each day. Learning through play, our youngest children build confidence and creativity as they develop key skills and form important learning connections.

The Seven Areas of Learning

  • Communication and learning
  • Physical development
  • Personal, social and emotional development
  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the world
  • Expressive arts and design

I could not have asked for a better start for my children and know that they will forever benefit from this outstanding start in life
