The early years foundation stage (EYFS) is part of wider Government policy relating to childcare and early education. It sets the statutory standards that all early years providers must meet.
The EYFS aims to provide:
- quality and consistency in all early years settings
- a secure foundation for all children for good progress through school and life
- partnerships between different practitioners
- partnerships between parents or carers and practitioners
- equality of opportunity for all children
At Pre-School we follow the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which sets the standards for promoting the learning, development and safety of children from birth to 5 years.
