At Galaxy Explorers we follow the EYFS which is the Early Years Statutory Framework from birth until the end of reception. We implement the 7 areas of learning through planned, purposeful play, with a mix of child initiated (leading from the child’s interest) and adult led activities.
Every child is unique and learns and develops at different rates. With positive attachments through the key person role and an enabling environment, your child will grow, learn and develop in a safe, stimulating and fun setting.
We focus on the stage and ability of every child and support them in the 3 prime areas which are the basis for successful learning in the other 4 specific areas. The 3 prime areas reflect the key skills and capacities all children need to develop and learn effectively and become ready for school.
We Use eyLog to engage parents and help them to understand their child’s development on a more regular and real-time basis, through their child’s learning journey. Parents can view their child’s observations, reports, daily diaries, accident/incident sheets, progress reports and view or send messages from/to the nursery.
