Early Years Foundation Stage

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a framework in the UK that sets the standards for the learning, development, and care of children from birth to age 5. It emphasizes the importance of play in learning and supports various areas such as communication, physical development, and social skills. The EYFS aims to ensure that all children have a strong foundation for future learning, focusing on creating a safe and nurturing environment. It includes guidelines for educators to promote effective teaching practices and assess children's progress in a holistic manner.
