Practitioners working within the toddler
group follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and use
observations as the key to their planning. They observe their
key children and decide how best to develop that child’s skills
from their current level. The practitioners then give the child
support and guidance to further their development and build on
what they know.
The children have access to the areas of
continuous provision at all times so that they can access all
resources and equipment. Practitioners then work with the
children in all areas to help develop their skills. Young
children learn to be independent by having someone they can
depend upon. The majority of toilet training also
takes place within this group, expanding each child’s
independence. By the time they leave this group we aim
to have provided each child with the basic knowledge of colour,
shape number as a basis for the more in depth activities covered
by the pre-school group. |
