Primrose Nursery

British EYFS

The Curriculum

Primrose follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework — a globally recognised approach to nurturing children from birth to five years through play, exploration, and warm guidance. At primrose nursery, children become part of our community starting from 1 to 4 years old.

The Curriculum

What is EYFS?

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the UK's gold-standard framework for early years care and education. It outlines seven areas of development, each balanced between play and structured learning.

The Curriculum

Each of the seven EYFS learning areas has its own dedicated focus at Primrose nursery.

Communication & Language

Stories, songs, and conversation grow confident speakers and active listeners.

Personal, Social & Emotional

Children learn to self-regulate, build positive relationships and become confident learners.

Physical Development

Active play supports children's both fine and gross motor development, coordination and growing independence.

Literacy

Phonics, mark-making, sensory exploration, songs and a love of reading from day one.

Mathematics

Counting, numbers, patterns, shapes, measure, and gentle problem-solving through hands-on play.

Understanding the World

Exploring people, cultures, nature that help children develop curiosity and make connections to the world around them.

Expressive Arts & Design

Supporting creativity for big imaginations.

Learning Through Play

Learning Through Play

Play is not a break from learning at Primrose — IT IS the learning. Children build vocabulary while pretending to run a café, count out loud while threading beads, learn cooperation through outdoor games, and discover science when sand meets water.

Communication With Parents

We value strong partnership with parents and keep you connected to your child's day through our Parent app, providing regular updates and communication.

Nutrition & Health

All snacks and meals brought from home are checked by the Primrose Nursery team on a daily basis to help ensure the health and safety of every child. The nursery follows a strict no-nuts policy, and parents are kindly requested not to send any food containing nuts or nut-based ingredients. Primrose Nursery does not provide meals or snacks; however, fresh drinking water is available for children throughout the day.
