What is the Early Years Foundation Stage?
The Early Years Foundation Stage (E.Y.F.S.) is the stage of education for children from
birth to 5 years.
It is based on the recognition that children learn best through play and active learning.
This is a very important stage as it helps your child get ready for primary school as well as preparing them for
their future learning and successes. From when your child is born up until the age of 5, their early years experience
should be happy, active, exciting, fun and secure; and support their development, care and learning needs.
