A bit of background

Since 1^st September 2021, all early years settings within England are required to follow the revised EYFS framework. This new framework is intended to:

• Set the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well
• Ensure children are kept healthy and safe
• Ensure that children have the knowledge and skills they need to start school

The Department for Education also hope that the new framework will help:

• Improve outcomes for all children
• Improve the language and literacy outcomes for disadvantaged children
• Reduce teacher workload
