The early years of a child’s life—right from birth to age five—are filled with rapid growth, curiosity, and development. As parents, you play the most important role in this journey. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is designed to support you and your child through these foundational years. Here’s a simple breakdown of EYFS. 

What is EYFS? 

• The Early Years Foundation Stage[EYFS] is a framework for children from birth to 5 years old. 

• It is used in nurseries, preschools, and reception classes across UK to guide early learning and care. 

• It outlines what children should learn at each stage of their early development. 

• It helps teachers and caregivers create a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment. 

• It focuses on building key skills like communication, social skills, physical development, and early literacy and numeracy. 

• It supports a child’s overall wellbeing—helping them grow with confidence, curiosity, and independence.
