The specific areas are woven into our curriculum to ensure children are able to make progress towards meeting the Early Learning Goals.

Our curriculum is made up of seven key aims for all children. These aims broadly cover the key areas in the Early Years Framework and ensure every child has the opportunity to work towards the Early Learning Goals.
