EYFS reforms

The revised Early Years Foundation Stage became statutory from September 2021. The changes to the framework are being made to improve the outcomes for children at age 5. It focuses on early language and literacy as well as to reduce workload such as unnecessary paperwork. This will mean you can spend more time with the children that you care for. This page contains the key documents and information to help you make the changes in your setting. It will be updated as more information becomes available.
