Activity Planning
Activities and experiences are planned in line with the principles of the Foundation Stage Early Years curriculum focusing on each child's interests, needs and stage of development. Information provided by parents and observations by practitioners help to build a picture of each child’s interests and developmental needs. Activities are both child and adult lead.
