Our Ethos & The EYFS

At Ladybirds Kinder Class, our ethos is rooted in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and is built around supporting every child’s learning, development and wellbeing.

A Unique Child

We recognise that every child is a unique individual who develops at their own pace. We take time to get to know each child, their interests and their family, and we value children and families as individuals. This supports children’s confidence, self-esteem and sense of belonging.

Positive Relationships

Strong, trusting relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Each child is supported by a key person who builds a secure relationship with them and works closely with families. We acknowledge children’s feelings and emotions, helping them to develop positive relationships and emotional resilience.

This particularly supports children’s learning in:

Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Communication and Language

Enabling Environments

We provide a safe, stimulating and inclusive environment where children are encouraged to explore, investigate and take appropriate risks. Our carefully planned indoor and outdoor spaces allow children to develop independence, curiosity and confidence through play.

Children are supported to:

Explore freely and follow their interests
Learn through hands-on, practical experiences
Develop physical confidence and coordination

This supports learning in:

Physical Development
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design

Learning and Development

We carefully observe and listen to children, using their interests and developmental needs to plan meaningful learning experiences. Children are encouraged to ask questions, experiment and develop their own ideas, helping them become motivated and enthusiastic learners.

Our play-based approach supports all seven areas of learning within the EYFS:

Communication and Language
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Physical Development
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design

Working in Partnership with Parents

We believe that children learn best when parents and practitioners work together. We value open communication with families and involve them in their child’s learning journey, ensuring every child is supported to reach their full potential.

Our ethos underpins our curriculum and daily practice, ensuring that all children feel safe, supported and challenged as they learn and grow.
