When looking at the 7 Areas of Learning within the Early Years Framework; ‘Personal, Social and Emotional Development’ is a Prime Area. ‘Literacy’ and ‘Numeracy’ are not.

The good news is….it all happens through PLAY! Come along to this dynamic discussion session to hear more about the vital role of play for developing PSED and what you can do to support and grow this further in your setting.
