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.
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.
