Early Years Foundation Stage EYFS Courses & Training

EYFS stands for Early Years Foundation Stage. EYFS sets standards for children's learning, development, and care from birth to 5 years old.

All schools and Ofsted-registered early years providers should observe the EYFS standards, including childminders, preschools, nurseries and school reception classes.

The EYFS ensures that all early years children are provided with the highest quality of early learning experience. It is vital because it is likely to have a significant impact on a child's life.

 They aim to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe.

To plan for successful learning, early years practitioners must assess children to identify their interests, their way of learning and monitor their progress in each area of learning and development.

These observations mean practitioners can tailor learning experiences for individual children.

It is part of the assessment process that parents and carers are encouraged to share their observations of the child's progress.

The assessment of the EYFS progress is an ongoing process. However, there are times when it is a statutory requirement to summarise how children are developing concerning expected levels of progress for their age.

It is a requirement to assess children's progress between the ages of two and three. This review involves early years practitioners, health visitors, and parents sharing their knowledge and understanding of the child for the overall picture of the child's development and making joint decisions on any support.

The EYFS Profile is a statutory assessment of children's progress in the year they reach five. This informs parents about the child's progress concerning the early learning goals and supports the transition to Year 1.
