Early Years Foundation Stage Assessment

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Assessment is a process used by educators to observe, record, and evaluate young children's development from birth to age five. It helps ensure children are progressing across key areas like communication, personal, social, emotional development, and physical skills. Using a variety of assessments, teachers identify each child's strengths and areas that may need extra support. This information guides planning for individual learning needs and ensures children are ready for the next stage of their education. The assessment is ongoing, collaborative, and focused on supporting each child's overall development and well-being.
