The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a Government framework that sets out minimum standards of care and learning that all childcare providers are expected to deliver. Its purpose is to ensure that children are provided with a rich learning experience tailored to their individual needs whilst being cared for in a safe and secure environment.
The EYFS contains a series of ‘Early Learning Goals’ that set out what most children are expected to achieve by the end of their reception year. These goals are grouped into six areas of learning:
As a nursery, we continually observe, listen to and assess the children in our care. This enables us to record the achievements of each child in each of the six areas of learning and to plan activities and provide resources that will extend each individual’s learning and development.
Contrary to some comments in the press, the EYFS is not a curriculum for young children – it is simply a guide to help childcare practitioners provide effective learning opportunities that are adapted to the needs of each child.
