EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE

A podcast about the proposed reforms to the Statutory Framework for the EYFS.

The Dfe launched a consultation back in October and they want your views about the proposed changes. The consultation closes on the 31st January so I thought it would be useful to talk through the key proposals to support you for when you respond to the consultation.

For more podcasts, webinars and online courses covering a range of different topics please visit our Digital Resources page, here.

On a half-termly basis, we send out a newsletter about topics relating to the EYFS. 

This includes resources, podcasts, webinars blogs, important updates and upcoming courses that may be of interest to those working in Early Years.
