Early Years
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
At Crazy 4 Kids, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), a government framework that ensures all children receive high-quality care and learning in a safe, secure, and nurturing environment.
We believe every child is unique and develops in their own way and at their own pace. The EYFS helps us support your child’s growth through a balance of play, exploration, and guided learning.
There are seven areas of learning and development, which are split into two groups:
| The Prime Areas (these are the most important in your child’s early development): |
The Specific Areas (which build on the prime areas): |
| Communication and Language | Literacy |
| Physical Development | Mathematics |
| Personal, Social and Emotional Development | Understanding the World |
| Expressive Arts and Design |
Your child will be supported by a dedicated key worker who takes the time to get to know them as an individual. They will observe your child’s interests, celebrate their achievements, and gently support their next steps in learning.
We work closely with you as parents and carers, sharing updates and listening to your insights so we can provide the very best care and support for your child. By working closely with families, we create a strong partnership that helps every child flourish.
At Crazy 4 Kids, our curriculum is built around three simple but powerful ideas: Grow, Play, and Learn. These guide everything we do and help us create a happy, nurturing environment where your child can thrive. Our approach ensures that every child is supported to become confident, curious, and ready for their next steps.
We follow the EYFS framework while making learning fun, meaningful, and tailored to each child’s interests and stage of development.
