Early years foundation stage (EYFS) reforms

The revised Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage is effective from 1 September 2021.

To help you to meet the revised safeguarding and welfare requirements, use the EYFS statutory framework audit and support materials.

There are several new courses available to support you to meet learning and development requirements. These are available via Eventbrite or the Services for Schools websites.

There is also personalised, bespoke advice and support. To discuss how the team can help you, contact them via: cs.eys@derbyshire.gov.uk

The DfE have published a new version of the Development Matters, the non-statutory curriculum guidance, as well as the help for early years providers guidance on the GOV.UK website.
