Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

Your child’s Learning Journey will be created to celebrate his or her experiences of learning, and to honour the creations they make. Your child’s key person will work with you to build a very precious record of your child’s time at the nursery. The Learning Journey will include photographs to capture moments and observations to record significant moments.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a framework that sets the standards for the learning, development, and care of children from birth to 5 years old in England.
