What does this mean for Lucy Locket's
Childcare?

The new Framework has a strong emphasis on

Working with parents - sharing knowledge about children's
development  and interests, in order to provide a challenging
provision both here and at home  
Working with other settings that a child attends (e.g.
preschools)
- sharing knowledge about children's welfare,
interests and development
Using the child's interests as a starting point for planning
In September 2008The Early Years Foundation
Stage (EYFS) became statutory in all settings with
children from birth to the age of five. This includes
all childminders, pre-schools, nurseries, children's
centres, nursery and reception classes.

The EYFS  is built on four Themes:

A Unique Child
Every child is a competent  learner from birth

Positive Relationships
Children learn to  be strong and independent, from
a base of loving  and secure relationships

Enabling environments
The environment  plays a key role in supporting and
extending children's learning and development

Learning and Development
Children learn  and develop in different ways and at
different rates, with all areas of learning and
development  interconnected
Areas of  Learning:
Personal, Social and Emotional development
(PSED)
Communication, Language and Literacy (CLL)
Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy
(PSRN) Knowledge and Understanding of the
World (KUW)  Physical development (PD)
Creative development (CD)
