Early Years

Learning Through Play

The first 5 years of a young persons life are the most important years in shaping their future and development.

 

What is 'Learning Through Play'?

Every fortnight, the Early Years and Childcare Service will develop new activity cards designed to inspire and engage, linking directly to key areas of the EYFS. Providers are encouraged to use these within their settings and may also wish to share them with families, supporting continued learning and fun at home.

Why not have a look through the EYFS area while you're here? - You will find lots of important information and useful links.

Where will I find the cards?

The cards will be available in the Early Years Sector Updates and shared by Buckinghamshire Family Information Service (BFIS) through their social media channels.

You can sign up to the Early Years Sector Updates here.
