EYFS-The Early Years Foundation Stage Framework September 2021

The Early Years Foundation Stage is a comprehensive framework which sets the standards for early years development, learning and welfare from birth to five years of age. It provides a structure to guide practitioners with providing effective provision in their settings and builds on previous guidance. There is also guidance on children’s development and useful hints on planning and resourcing. This framework combines previous guidance for the Foundation Stage, the non-statutory Birth to Three Matters Framework and the regulatory frameworks in the National Standards for Under 8s Day Care and Childminding.

We use the EYFS for all planning and observations required.
