Curriculum for funded non-maintained nursery settings (Cwricwlwm ar gyfer lleoliadau meithrin a ariennir heb eu cynnal)
Part of the Curriculum for Wales, this curriculum is an option for ‘funded non-maintained nursery settings to adopt should they wish to do so’ (hwb.gov.wales).
With a focus on the Welsh language and helping children develop a sense of ‘cynefin’, this curriculum was designed separately by the Welsh government to foster greater adoption of the wider Welsh Curriculum in nurseries outside of the Local Authority’s control.
Included in this curriculum are five developmental pathways split into 27 ‘statements of what matters’, while reflecting the principles of ion and encompassing the mandatory Welsh Curriculum elements. The five pathways are as follows:
- Belonging
- Communication
- Exploration
- Physical Development
- Well-being
If you’re an Ovivio customer in Wales this curriculum should already be available to you for linking to child observations, but if it isn’t you can simply send a message to support@uk.ovivio.com with your nursery name and one of our team will be happy to do that for you.
Developmental pathways 0-3
Following the same five areas as the above curriculum, Developmental pathways 0-3 focuses on what’s important for children’s development and allows practitioners to support children to grow and develop.
Each grouping of statements in the five pathways is split across each of the three years, referred to by the Welsh Government as Here I am!, I’m exploring! and Look at me now!, but for simplicity we’ve simply set them as the 12 month periods they cover: 0-1, 1-2, and 2-3.
As above, if you’re a Welsh setting and don’t have this framework turned on already, contact Ovivio Customer Support who’ll be able to turn it on in an instant.
Ovivio Pathways
Designed with the help of SEND experts, Ovivio Pathways is our brand new SEND-supportive framework for those children who are on their own unique learning pathway.
We’ve built it to be as inclusive as possible so you can track every child’s individual learning journey and ensure that all children are supported, regardless of whether they align with other goverment frameworks.. Using some different areas of learning and more granular statements with the familiar Emerging, Developing and Secure stages, we believe this unique-to-Ovivio framework will work in specialised settings as well as more general ones.
Rather than use the same 7 Areas of Learning and Development found in other EYFS frameworks, Ovivio Pathways has slightly different ones allowing for more unique child journeys. They are:
- Communication and Language
- Understanding
- Speaking
- Physical
- Health, independence and self-care
- Personal, social and emotional development
- Thinking
As every child has a unique learning journey, we’ve removed the age ranges usually found under each area of learning, shifting the focus to what each child can do, not when they do it.
Ovivio Pathways empowers educators to provide personalised, meaningful support for every child on their journey. And it’s now available free on request to all Ovivio users.
