There are 2 statutory EYFS frameworks:
- EYFS statutory framework for childminders
- EYFS statutory framework for group and school-based providers
Providers are responsible for ensuring they follow the current version of the framework for their provider type.
The EYFS framework:
- sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well
- ensures children are kept healthy and safe
- ensures children have the knowledge and skills they need to start school
It also includes early years qualification requirements and standards.
See the summary of changes to understand what has been updated in the latest versions of the frameworks.
Help for early years providers and childminders?working with 0- to 5-year-olds is available.
Further supporting materials for settings and practitioners are available on the?Foundation Years?website.
