Positive Behaviour Pathway for EYFS
At Oakfield, we believe that early years behaviour guidance is key to nurturing confident, independent learners who feel safe and valued. Our EYFS behaviour pathway is designed to support children’s personal, social, and emotional development through positive, consistent approaches that reflect our inclusive and caring ethos.
We focus on:
Building strong, trusting relationships between children and their key adults to promote a sense of security and belonging.
Encouraging positive behaviour through warm, supportive interactions and clear, simple routines.
Recognising and celebrating achievements to motivate children and build self-esteem.
Supporting individual needs by quickly identifying children who may require additional help and working closely with families to provide tailored support.
Promoting social skills such as sharing, turn-taking, and empathy through guided play and everyday interactions.
Our approach aligns with the Early Years Foundation Stage statutory framework, ensuring that every child’s behaviour journey is supported with kindness, consistency, and high expectations, preparing them well for the next stage of their learning.
