The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
What is the aim of the EYFS?
The overarching aim of the EYFS is to help young children achieve the five every child matters outcomes of staying safe, being healthy, enjoying and achieving, making a positive contribution and achieving economic well - being by: Setting the standards - ensuring that every child makes progress and that no child gets left behind. Providing for equality of opportunity - ensuring that every child is being included and not disadvantaged because of ethnicity, culture or religion, home language, family background, learning difficulties or disabilities, gender or ability. Creating the framework for parents working - between parents and professionals and between all the settings that the child attends Improving quality and consistency - ending the distinction between care and learning in the existing frameworks, and providing the basis for the inspection and regulation regime. Laying a secure foundation for future learning - through learning and development that is planned around the individual needs and interests of the child, and informed by the use of ongoing observational assessment.
How will this benefit my child?
The Early Learners Nursery Ltd has developed further training sessions and materials to develop staff even further. We believe this will benefit all children as we have invested heavily in child development training and delivering excellent training has been ongoing and will continue. The Early Learners Nursery has taken the EYFS changes as an opportunity to share excellent practice across the company and we are already seeing the benefits.
