Care and Education

 

At Blue Sky we follow the national curriculum for learning and development, this is called The Early Years Foundation Stage. The EYFS is a method for interacting with the children whilst watching them play to develop an understanding of what the children enjoy playing with, can do and might like to learn next.

This information is then used to come up with exciting ideas for activities the children can take part in to move onto the next step of their learning journey.

At Blue Sky we take lots of photos of the children which can go onto our Facebook page, permissions allowing, so if you have a free five minutes you can browse our page and catch up with what activities your child may be involved in. We also use these photographs to track your child’s progress and development and helping us to determine their ‘next steps’.
