EYFS 2012 Review

The revised Early Years Foundation Stage has been published by the Department of Education.

The new framework, which takes effect from 1 September 2012, reduces the number of early learning goals from 69 to 17, sharpens the focus on the main areas of learning and simplifies assessment when a child reaches five. It also places a responsibility on practitioners to provide a summary assessment of children as part of the two year-old check.
