Early Years Curriculum
In Taunton Nursery School and Reception we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Principles. The principles which guide the work of all early years practitioners are grouped into four themes:

- A Unique Child
- Positive Relationships
- Enabling Environments
- Learning and Development

These four guiding themes work together to underpin effective practice in the delivery of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The Learning and Development section identifies the developing knowledge, skills, understanding and attitudes that children will need if they are to achieve the early learning goals by the end of the EYFS.
