World? Marianne Sargent finds inspiration in Northamptonshire
The Early Years Foundation Stage specific area of learning Understanding the World is all about being curious, making new discoveries and ultimately finding out how the world and its inhabitants work - perfect for the two-year-old child who is so much looking forward to getting their hands on everything around them.
