There are six areas covered by the early learning goals and educational programmes:

Personal, social and Emotional Development Children must be provided with experiences and support which will help them to develop a positive sense of themselves and of others; respect for others; social skills and a positive disposition to learn. Artemis Nursery will ensure support for children’s emotional well-being to help them to know themselves and what they can do.
 

Communication, Language and Literacy

Children’s learning and competence in communicating, speaking and listening, being read to and beginning to read and write must be supported and extended. They will be provided with opportunity and encouragement to use their skills in a range of situations and for a range of purposes, and be supported in developing the confidence and disposition to do so.
 

Problem solving, Reasoning and Numeracy

Artemis Nursery will support children in developing their understanding of problem solving, reasoning and numeracy in a broad range of contexts in which they can explore, enjoy, learn, practice and talk about their developing understanding. They will be provided with opportunities to practice and extend their skills in these areas and to gain confidence and competence in their use.
 

Knowledge and Understanding of the World

Children will be supported in developing the knowledge, skills and understanding that will help them to make sense of the world. Their learning will be supported through offering opportunities for them to use a range of tools safely; encounter creatures, people, plants and objects in their natural environment and in real life situations; undertake practical experiments and work with a range of materials.
 

Physical Development

The physical development of babies and young children will be encouraged through the provision of opportunities for them to be active and interactive and to improve their skills of co-ordination, control, manipulation and movement. They will be supported in using all of their senses to learn about the world around them and to make connections between new information and what they already know. They will be supported in developing an understanding of the importance of physical activity and making healthy choices in relation to food. 
 
 
Creative Development

Children’s creativity will be extended by the provision of support for their curiosity, exploration and play. They will be provided with opportunities to explore and share their thoughts, ideas and feelings, for example through a variety of art, music, movement, dance, imaginative and role-play activities, mathematics and design and technology.
