The Early Years Foundation Stage
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a comprehensive framework which sets the standards for learning, development and care of children from birth to 5. It builds on and will replace the existing statutory Curriculum 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.
All registered early years providers and schools will be required to use the EYFS from September 2008.
In our setting to support the framework we will create a colourful easy to understand folder for each child including -
- An Introduction to EYFS Learning and Development
- Information on observations
- Monthly Photo & Observations Pages
- Weekly Observations Pages
- Learning and Development Observations
- A collection of your childs own work throughout the period
These folders will be yours to take away when you leave the setting, a comprehensive folder for you to take with your child when they start school.
