The Children's Act 2006 describes how the new regulatory framework for childcare providers, the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), should be implemented in order to improve outcomes for children's learning and development.
This newly published guidance for birth to five years old explains what childcare providers are expected to do and gives advice about how they should do it. It incorporates three previous guidance documents: the National Standards for Daycare, the Birth to Three Matters framework and the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage.
Overall, the new document comprises four sections:
- the statutory framework
- principles into practice cards
- practice guidance for the EYFS
