The answer is YES!
The Early Learning Goals are just that, Goals.
What the Companion does is to help you to build a curriculum which meets the Early Learning Goals.
The Companion has a progression framework which takes 5 areas of provision:
Learning experiences
Continuous provision
Outdoor environment
Purposeful pedagogy
Learning conversations
These areas of provision are guided by different threshold concepts e.g.:
Communication conveys meaning
Gross motor skills
Becoming a friend
Reading
are just a few.
There are then suggested activities and experiences for Nursery (N), the first half of Reception (R1) and the second half of Reception ( R2) as follows which equates to over 120 pages.
N, R1 and R2 are the equivalent of the Milestones in the Essentials Curriculum.
All of the above are above and beyond what is in Development Matters.
