From 4 January, 2 revised frameworks will replace the current EYFS framework.
Providers are responsible for ensuring that they follow the current version of the framework for their provider type.
The 2 new frameworks are:
- EYFS statutory framework for childminders
- EYFS statutory framework for group and school-based providers
The EYFS framework also includes Early years qualification requirements and standards.
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 that children have the knowledge and skills they need to start school
This statutory framework is for:
- school leaders
- school staff
- childcare providers
- childminders
- out-of-school providers
