Understanding the EYFS and Ofsted: A Guide for Parents
At Skools Inn Nursery, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which sets the standards for learning, development, and care for children from birth to age five in England. The EYFS is designed to ensure that every child gets the best possible start in life and is fully prepared for school.

What is the EYFS?
The EYFS is a government framework that guides how nurseries and early years settings support children’s development. It focuses on helping children learn through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences in a safe and nurturing environment.
