EYFS & Child Development

Learning through play

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is simply the framework that guides how young children learn. At Little Laughs it's never a test — it's about following your child's interests and helping them blossom in seven happy areas.

Prime areas 🌱

Communication & Language

Talking, listening and building vocabulary through songs, stories and chats.

Physical Development

Moving, balancing, climbing and developing little hands for writing and play.

Personal, Social & Emotional

Making friends, sharing, growing confidence and understanding feelings.

Specific areas 🎨

Literacy

A love of books, mark-making and early reading and writing.

Mathematics

Counting, shapes, patterns and problem-solving through play.

Understanding the World

Exploring nature, people, places and how things work.

Expressive Arts & Design

Painting, music, dancing and imaginative role-play.
