Summary
The Early Years Foundation Stage(EYFS) requires early years practitioners to review children’s progress and share a summary with parents at two points:
Between the ages of 24 and 36 months via the progress check;
at the end of reception via the EYFS profile.
This document is a non-statutory guide to support practitioners.It can be used by childminders,nurseries and others,such as Ofsted,throughout the early years as a guide to making best-fit judgments about whether a child is showing typical development for their age, may be at risk of delay or is ahead for their age.
