Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a framework in the UK that sets standards for the learning, development, and care of children from birth to five years old. It ensures that young children receive high-quality education and well-being support, promoting their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. Schools and nurseries follow the EYFS to plan activities, assess progress, and ensure children are ready for their next stage of education. It emphasizes a holistic approach, valuing play-based learning and individual needs to help children build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
