This is a very important stage as it helps your child get ready for school as well as preparing them for their future learning and successes. From when your child is born up until the age of 5, their early years experience should be happy, active, exciting, fun and secure; and support their development, care and learning needs.
Childminders, nurseries, pre-schools and reception classes registered to deliver the EYFS must follow a legal document called the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
