EYFS is a stage of development from birth to the end of their first (reception) year in school. The EYFS framework describes how early years practitioners should work with children and their families to support their development and learning. It describes how your child should be kept safe and cared for and how all concerned can make sure that your child achieves the most that they can in their earliest years of life. It is based on 4 Important principles … for detailed information on the EYFS please visit www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/eyfs/.
All 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to a free part time early education place. This means your child will be eligible for 15hrs per week of free education for 38 weeks of the year. The funding is available from the term after your child’s 3rd birthday until the term before your child’s 5th birthday.

The aim of Stanhope House Day Nursery Leicester is to provide a happy and secure environment for the children in our care, with the help of a curriculum which is stimulating physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.
We pride ourselves on our capacity to respond to each child individually, according to his or her own needs and rate of development.
Here are the things that we think help to make Stanhope House Day Nursery different:
We do our best to ensure that all the staff and children are fair to each other and to themselves and that the nursery is characterised by an atmosphere of mutual trust and encouragement.
In short, at Stanhope House Day Nursery we want what's best for all concerned and strive to make the first few years of your child's life as happy, secure and stimulating as possible - with lots of fun and laughter mixed in.
Stanhope House Day Nursery caters for 37 children aged from 6 weeks to 5 years of age.
Our children come from a variety of different backgrounds and cultures, sometimes with English as a second language.
When a new child starts, parents are welcome to stay with them as long as they feel necessary to help their child settle in. This usually provides the basis for effective communication between staff and parents and we welcome warmly any input they care to offer.
Our curriculum is designed to be fun, challenging and rewarding, and is in line with OFSTED guidelines.
Throughout our site we have used our children's artwork to illustrate each page and for the navigation images at the foot of each page, and below you'll find more examples of our children's activities that tie in with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) six learning and development objectives.
