Context and principles for early years provision
1.1
An explanation of the legal status and principles of the relevant Early Years Framework and why the early years frameworks emphasise a personal and individual approach to learning development.

Learning and Development
Focus on ensuring young children learn through play and exploration, with support for each individual. You should encourage children to develop imagination, to
