Children start to learn about the world around them from the moment they are born. The care and education offered by our setting helps children to continue to do this by providing all of the children with interesting activities that are appropriate for their age and stage of development.
For children between the ages of three and five years, Jack & Jill Pre-School provides a curriculum for the foundation stage of education. This curriculum is set out the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage, published by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority and the Department for Education and Skills. We follow this guidance. |

The guidance divides children's learning and development into six areas: |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
- personal, social and emotional development
- communication, language and literacy development
- mathematical development
- knowledge and understanding of the world
- physical development
- creative development

For each area, the guidance sets out early learning goals. These goals state what it is expected that children will know and be able to do by the end of the reception year of their education.
For each early learning goal, the guidance sets out stepping stones, which describe the stages through which children are likely to pass as they move to achievement of the goal.
Jack & Jill Pre-School uses the stepping stones that lead to the early learning goals to help us to trace each child's progress and to enable us to provide the right activities to help all of the children to achieve and progress. |
