Our Approach
Miss Lisa's Sunshine Nursery follows the government- based framework for learning in the early years called the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This is split into four themes outlined below and are the key principles that underpin effective practice in the care, development and learning of young children.
​
Children in the EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active and through creative and critical thinking both indoors and outside.

We had our Ofsted inspection on 15th November 2022

Early Years Foundation Stage
Sunshine Nursery follows the government-based framework for learning in the early years called the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The framework sets out the legal welfare requirements that everyone registered to look after children must follow to keep your child safe and promote their welfare.
A Unique Child
A Unique Child commits to child development, inclusive practice, keeping safe, and health and well-being.
Positive Relationships
Positive Relationships commits to respecting each other, parents and partners, supporting learning and the key person approach.
Enabling Environments
Learning & Development
​Enabling Environments commits to observation, planning and assessment of children, supporting every child, the learning environment and the wider context (for example, working in partnership with other settings, professionals and community groups).
Learning and Development is broken down into seven areas which guide professionals' engagement with your child's play and activities as they learn new skills and knowledge.
Children should mostly develop the three Prime Areas first: Communication and Language, Physical Development and finally Personal, Social and Emotional Development. These prime areas are those most essential for your child's health, development and future learning.
