EYFS Framework

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework is a guideline used in England to support the development of children from birth to five years old. It sets out the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that children should gain during their early years, covering areas like communication, physical development, social skills, and understanding the world. The framework helps ensure that all early childhood settings provide high-quality, consistent care and education. It also guides practitioners to observe children’s progress, plan activities suited to their individual needs, and support their overall growth for a strong start in life.
