Nursery/EYFS

The British School of Bangkok’s Nursery classes follow the guidelines set out in the British Sure Start framework of effective practice called “Birth to 5 Matters”. This outlines learning goals for schools dealing with children of pre-compulsory school age in readiness for them joining the compulsory education system, which start at 5 years old. The framework takes the child as its focus. It identifies four ‘Aspects’, which celebrate the skills and competence of babies and young children and highlights the interrelationship between growth, learning, development and the environment in which they are cared for and educated. Theses four aspects are: A Strong Child A Skillful Communicator A Competent Learner A Healthy Child
