EYFS Curriculum Overview

 Seven Areas of Learning

There are seven areas of learning and development that must shape educational programmes in early years settings. All areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected.

Three areas are particularly important for building a foundation for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, forming relationships and thriving.

 These are the prime areas:

Communication & Language

Physical Development

Personal, Social & Emotional Development

Providers must also support children in four specific areas, through which the three prime areas are strengthened and applied.

The specific areas are:

EYFS Literacy

EYFS Mathematics

Understanding The World

Expressive Arts & Design
