Teachers - Foundation Stage

Planning for the Foundation Stage

It is essential that there is close co-operation between nursery and reception colleagues in order that children have their previous achievements recognised and valued and experience continuity and progression in their learning. Young children need a well-planned and resourced curriculum to take their learning forward and to provide opportunities for all children to succeed in an atmosphere of care and of feeling valued.

Learning to Live .... Living to Learn - a document produced by practitioners outlines the needs of young children in the foundation stage.

The Practitioners have produced topic plans with a bank of ideas for use in the Foundation Stage; the plans build on and develop children's interests and experiences.
