Ocean Todds Development Goals

The Statutory Framework for Early Years Foundation Stage says that “Good parenting and high-quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.”

Within this Framework are 17 ‘Early Learning Goals’, designed to define the level of development children should have attained by the end of Foundation.

We have our own set of 11 Todds Goals, which are simplified versions of those set out in the Statutory Framework. Each Ocean Todds session is planned with these goals in mind and is intended to help support your child’s development in several of these areas.

  • Please note, you must have valid tickets to enter the National Marine Aquarium.
  • Ocean Todds is for 2 – 4 year olds. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
