The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a framework in the UK designed to ensure that children aged 0-5 receive a high standard of education and care. It outlines essential learning goals and developmental milestones, focusing on areas such as communication, physical development, and social skills. The EYFS promotes holistic growth, emphasizing play-based learning to foster creativity and resilience. Care providers, including nurseries and childminders, use the framework to plan activities that support children's individual needs and encourage a smooth transition to primary education.
