LEARNING

Little Elms Daycare set out to assist all children attending the setting to attain their maximum potential within their perceived capabilities. An individual record of each child’s development is maintained, showing their abilities, progress rate and areas needing further staff assistance.

Currently Little Elms is using software called Learning Books that allow the staff to easily track children progress. Staff can upload photos, videos, audio clips and written observations.  Parents also have an access to their child’s book and can actively add observations from home.

Activities in all group rooms will be planned following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This practice guidance is set out with 7 learning areas: Communication & Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social & Emotional Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, & Expressive Arts and Design.
