Themes and principles
The EYFS is based around four themes, and each theme is linked to an important principle:
-
A unique child: Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
-
Positive relationships: Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person.
-
Enabling environments: The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning.
Learning and development: Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. All areas of learning and development are equally important and interconnected.
