We have been working in partnership with Local Authority to make sure
our curriculum meets all the criteria of new and improved Early Years
requirements as well as is within new Ofsted inspection framework. We
would like to share our curriculum with you and if there is anything
else as a parent you wish us to include, please do not hesitate to let
us know. Please see below our educational plan  for the academic year as
well as diagram of it. Our curriculum is build of 3 parts: Intent (what
is our learning intention), implementation (how are we going to achieve)
and impact (what will be the learning outcome for children). If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to me directly.
Intent:
At Busy Bees Pre-school our aim is to create a learning environment and
build relationships which support, enhance and invite a child’s
curiosity, confidence and individual competency to flourish regardless
of backgrounds, circumstances or needs. We aim to work collaboratively
with parents and carers to encourage independent, enthusiastic learners
who thrive and reach their full potential. It is our intent that
children who enter our EYFS begin their lifelong learning journey by
developing physically, verbally, cognitively and emotionally whilst also
embedding a positive attitude to school and a love of learning.
To ensure children make outstanding progress in Busy Bees Preschool
EYFS, it is our intent to take into consideration their starting points
and needs of our pupils as they begin their learning journey. Every
child has access to a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum
which prepares them for now and for the future in terms of opportunities
and experiences. Following personal interests and individual needs,
allows us to plan and provide opportunities throughout our EYFS
curriculum to support learning and development and achieve their next
steps.
Our EYFS curriculum aims to enable our children to be:
Competent and creative learners; who are curious about the world around
them.
Secure and confident; who enjoy coming to school and learning new skills
and knowledge building on their existing learning.
Skillful communicators; who connect with others through language and
play, ensuring that they play in a vocab rich environment.
It is our intent to ensure that all children will receive the teaching
of early reading through systematic, synthetic phonics and music
activities to develop their love for books and broaden their vocabulary.

Implement:
At Busy Bees Pre-school we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage
framework. This is made up of four overriding principles which our early
year’s education is based upon:
Unique Child – Every child is unique child who is constantly learning
and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
Positive Relationships – Children learn to be strong and independent
through positive relationships.
Enabling Environments – Children learn and develop well in enabling
environments, in which their experiences respond to their individual
needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners and
parents and carers.
Learning and Development – Children develop and learn in different ways.
The framework covers the education and care of all children in early
year’s provision, including children with special educational needs and
disabilities.
The curriculum provides a play-based and experiential learning
environment, combined with focussed teaching and basic skills, to ensure
children make rapid progress before moving to school. The children at
our setting are provided with ample opportunities accessible in our
indoor and outdoor provision. They engage in planned, focussed
activities as well as self-initiated and free flow activities. The
learning experiences within our Early Years are linked to the seven
areas of learning and development within the EYFS. These areas are split
into three prime areas and four specific areas. The three prime areas
are those which the children should develop first and are considered
most essential for the healthy development and future learning of our
children. These include:
Physical Development – involves providing opportunities for young
children to be active and interactive; and to develop their
co-ordination, control, and movement. Children must also be helped to
understand the importance of physical activity, and to make healthy
choices in relation to food.
Communication and Language – involves giving children opportunities to
experience a rich language environment; to develop their confidence and
skills in expressing themselves; and to speak and listen in a range of
situations.
Personal, Emotional and Social Development – involves helping children
to develop a positive sense of themselves, and others; to form positive
relationships and develop respect for others; to develop social skills
and learn how to manage their feelings; to understand appropriate
behaviour in groups; and to have confidence in their own abilities.
As children grow and make progress in the prime areas, this will help
them to naturally develop skills within the four specific areas.

These are:
Literacy – the early teaching of literacy involves encouraging children
to successfully and with pleasure mark make with different resources.
Children are given access to a wide range of reading materials (books,
poems, and other written materials) to ignite their interest.
Mathematics – the early teaching of mathematics involves providing
children with opportunities to develop and improve their skills in
counting, understanding and using numbers, calculating simple addition
and subtraction problems, and describing shapes, spaces, and measures.
Understanding the World – this involves guiding children to make sense
of their physical world and their community through opportunities to
explore, observe and find out about people, places, technology and the
environment.
Expressive Arts and Design – this involves enabling children to explore
and play with a wide range of media and materials, as well as providing
opportunities and encouragement for sharing their thoughts, ideas and
feelings through a variety of activities in art, music, movement, dance,
role-play, and design and technology.

Children benefit from meaningful learning across the curriculum and
staff plan resourcefully for opportunities for communication, sustained
shared thinking and physical challenge to build on existing skills
taking into account the Characteristics of Effective Learning.
Rich first hand experiences (inside, outdoors, visitors and school
trips) to widen experiences, awe and wonderment. Exploratory learning
and thinking creatively including problem solving across all areas of
learning. New vocabulary and concepts through reading will excite and
engage all learners which includes staff modelling standard English and
asking high quality open-ended questions.
Curriculum will promote and support children’s emotional security and
development of their character enabling children to take risks in a safe
and secure environment. Supporting children to be active and to develop
physically including giving clear messages to children why it is
important to eat, drink and exercise as well as to be kind to others.

Impact:
The experiences of the task will be revisited and demonstrated through
being deeply engaged in play. Our children will grow to be confident,
competent lifelong learners and good citizens.
The children at Busy Bees Pre-school experience a smooth transition
between the setting and Reception classes. Effective communication and
collaboration ensure the children leave the EYFS with a solid foundation
of learning of which to build upon.
We use learning journals across the EYFS, which evidence to the children
and their families the successes of the children throughout their time
at Busy Bees Pre-school.
As a team, we carry out regular internal moderation sessions and also
ensure that staff attend external meetings and training to ensure that
we feel confident with our judgements and that these judgements are
consistent with a range of other settings. Assessment starts with
careful observations which are then used to inform planning. Learning
and teaching is the most effective when children feel a sense of
belonging, curiosity and competence showing resilience and tenacity.
By monitoring assessment procedures regularly, we can effectively
demonstrate what learning is taking place and how each child is
progressing in all seven areas of the EYFS curriculum. Progress toward
the ELGs will ensure a positive disposition to learn.
