The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a statutory framework
published in 2007 by the DCSF. The framework sets standards for
development, learning and care of children from birth to five years
old. The EYFS Profile sums up and describes each child’s
development and learning achievements at the end of the EYFS.
All registered early years providers are required to complete an
EYFS Profile for each child at the end of the academic year in
which they reach the of five years old. For the majority of
children this will be at the end of their reception year.
The EYFS Profile is based on ongoing observational assessment in
all six areas of learning and development.
“The primary purpose of the EYFS Profile is to provide
year 1 teachers with reliable and accurate information about each
child’s level of development as they reach the end of the EYFS,
enabling the teacher to plan an effective, responsive and
appropriate curriculum that will meet all children’s needs.”

On the transition pages of this website there are some materials
to support the effective use of EYFSP data when children move into
year one.
All information that practitioners need to keep up to date
with developments of the EYFS Profile can be found on http://www.qcda.gov.uk/
Two key documents practitioners will require to start with are
The
Assessment and Reporting Arrangements 2010/2011 and the Early
Years Foundation Stage Profile Handbook. Practitioners new to
the Early Years Foundation Stage will need to book onto the
EYFS Profile Training Course via the CfBT
Website.
