Small Settings EYFS - 05-11-07 18:46
by: risingfox
After having attended a conference on EYFS which was organised by our local borough it was clear yet again that the government is keen to phase out the small private nurseries and no longer interested in the well-being of the child. Everything is based on 'play' and child initiated. What about numerals and letters? We are the ones to prepare children who go on to reception classes where a child who can write his/her name is welcome, who recognises numbers and letters. Oh no. everything is play and very little adult initiated.
Observations and assessments. We should be hands on at this stage which is so important for children at nursery school age. The children can rule the classroom they no longer need us.
I discussed the EYFS with my staff and they are all extremely depressed. There is no future for nurseries. The government should have looked at education as whole in this country and see that it is already a total failure. Pride and individuatlity are out let us join the mass.
