Blue Bird Nursery Al Quoz - EYFS Curriculum

EYFS Curriculum – Creating a Stimulating Learning Environment

At Blue Bird Nursery, we follow the EYFS Curriculum (British Early Years Foundation Stage). Our educational programme and philosophy takes into consideration the individual needs of every child allowing them to grow at their own pace.

We are an inclusive Nursery that encourages children to make decisions and share ideas.
We believe that children learn most effectively when they are enjoying themselves and are having fun. This is why we encourage children of different ages and stages of development to work towards different goals to help each child reach his or her full potential!

With the curriculum always in mind, our children are also immersed in elements of the most successful global early years educational practices.

At Blue Bird Nursery we recognise the importance of choice and personal interest and truly believe that this should be encouraged and developed as a skill for life. Teaching and learning follow a ‘child-initiated learning’ philosophy, with topics and activities being decided through observations of the children’s interests maximising children’s motivation to explore a project or develop an idea. Through this approach children make use of a variety of resources and demonstrate a complex range of knowledge, skills, and understanding. Although this will involve engaging in activities that are initially introduced by an adult, the children will also make choices to change, extend, repeat or further explore resources and concepts.

We are also committed to developing future change makers and innovators. We strongly believe that when children are
encouraged to tap into and use their imagination, then magical, out of the box, creative thinking is developed.

We explore and encourage the children’s creativity and imagination through the curriculum and environment to develop
their innovation skills.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

EYFS stands for the Early Years Foundation Stage, the British curriculum framework we follow for all children from birth to five. It focuses on seven areas of learning and is designed to let each child progress at their own pace while still working towards clear developmental goals.
The three prime areas are communication and language, physical development, and personal, social and emotional development. The four specific areas are literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design. Together they cover every aspect of a young child’s growth.
It is an approach where topics and activities grow out of what genuinely interests the children, rather than being fixed in advance. Adults introduce ideas, but children are encouraged to explore, extend or repeat activities in ways that suit their own curiosity.
EYFS is the early years stage of the wider British curriculum, covering children from birth to five before they move into primary education. It is recognized internationally and forms the foundation for everything children go on to learn later in school.
By building strong foundations in communication, physical skills, and early literacy and numeracy, EYFS ensures children arrive at primary school with the confidence, curiosity and basic skills they need for a smooth transition.
