The Early Years Foundation Stage at Eldon

At Eldon, we offer high quality early education from two year old provision to Reception and we are committed to giving children the best possible start to their education. 

We have a distinct and balanced approach – we combine securing strong foundations in Reading, Writing and Maths, with early years best practice – learning through play, enabling environments, outdoor learning, and teaching though adult-child interactions. The balance shifts as children move through the year groups. Our provision is developmentally appropriate, and children are taught the skills they need throughout. Expectations are stepped up at each stage, and we build on previous learning, ensuring progress. Language development, underpinned by high quality adult-child interactions, is central to everything we do.
