1.1.1 Outline early years curriculum models supporting children's care, learning and development.
When planning the activities for the setting, focus must be placed on the curriculum in order to ensure that all areas of learning are covered for the children in our care. The Early Years Foundation Phase is a statutory framework that sets out standards for the learning, development and care of children from birth to five.

The Montessori methods require a good level of observational skills to aid with planning, this then results in being able guide and support the children with their learning and understanding, this is easily adapted in to the setting during the planning process, especially by the development of the relationship with our individual Key Children. By following the Montessori methods,...
