Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) changes
The EYFS changes have come into effect since 1 September 2021. Online resources are now available for all childminders, nursery leaders and pre-school practitioners. They include:
- New food safety advice
- Information about oral health
- Information to support all areas of learning including the 3 key aspects of physical development
- Partnership with parents
In addition, our existing local Healthy Early Years programmes including Eat Better Start Better, Nursery Tooth Friendly and Physical Literacy (and the Mayor's Award) will support your setting to implement all of the above. Enquire about our local programmes by calling 020 8820 7213 or speak to your link consultant. Alternatively complete our expression of interest form
