Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Nursery

I can select and use activities and resources to achieve a goal I have chosen, or one which is suggested
to me. I will develop a sense of responsibility and membership of my home and school community. I will become more outgoing with unfamiliar people, in the safe context of the nursery and show more confidence in new social situations. I can play with one or more other children, extending and elaborating play ideas finding solutions to conflicts and rivalries. I increasingly follow rules, understanding why they are important and remember rules without needing an adult to remind me. I am developing appropriate ways of being assertive being able to talk with others to solve conflicts. I can talk about my feelings using words like ‘happy’, ‘sad’, ‘angry’ or ‘worried’ and understand how others might be feeling. I am increasingly independent in meeting my own care needs, e.g., brushing teeth, using the toilet, washing and drying my hands thoroughly. I can make healthy choices about food, drink, activity and toothbrushing.

Reception

I see myself as a valuable individual. I will build constructive and respectful relationships. I can express my feelings and consider the feelings of others. I show resilience and perseverance in the face of challenge. I identify and moderate my own feelings socially and emotionally. I think about the perspectives of others. I can manage my own personal hygiene needs. I know and can talk about the different factors that support my overall health and wellbeing:
• regular physical activity
• healthy eating
• toothbrushing
• sensible amounts of ‘screen time’
• having a good sleep routine
• being a safe pedestrian

The level of development a child should be expected to have reached by the end of the EYFS is defined by the Early Learning Goals. 

ELG: Self-Regulation
• Show an understanding of their own feelings and those of others and begin to regulate their behaviour accordingly.
• Set and work towards simple goals, being able to wait for what they want and control their immediate impulses when appropriate.
• Give focused attention to what the teacher says, responding appropriately even when engaged in activity, and show an ability to follow instructions involving several ideas or actions.

ELG: Managing Self
• Be confident to try new activities and show independence, resilience and perseverance in the face of challenge.                                                                                                                                                                                 • Explain the reasons for rules, know right from wrong and try to behave accordingly.
• Manage their own basic hygiene and personal needs, including dressing, going to the toilet and understanding the importance of healthy food choices.

ELG: Building Relationships
• Work and play cooperatively and take turns with others.
• Form positive attachments to adults and friendships with peers.
• Show sensitivity to their own and to others’ needs.
