The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) came into effect in September 2008. This was put together to form 5 sets of standards from birth to 5 year olds, to help with their learning development and care. All early years providers are required to follow the EYFS as regulated by Ofsted.
“The EYFS was introduced to ensure all children in settings are helped in developing good social skill as well as academically”, but the EYFS also provides regulations that make sure children are properly looked after.
