Menu RECENT NEWS HEADTEACHER'S BLOG Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Welcome to EYFS “Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.” Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage 2017 We use Development Matters in the EYFS as guidance to ensure that we deliver high standards of early education and care and that supports the development of the whole child.
