Practitioners browsing www.foundationyears.org.uk for information on how to implement the revised EYFS will now be able to find the Birth to Three Matters booklet, part of a groundbreaking framework first published in 2002. At ten years old, it is a framework that will be unfamiliar to many younger or new practitioners, but ahead of its time, it is one that is most certainly worth revisiting and incorporating into current practice.
Birth to Three Matters aimed to help practitioners better meet the needs of babies and children under three by providing information on child development and effective practice, examples of activities that promote play and learning, guidance on planning and resourcing and ways to meet diverse needs. The pack was in a format viewed as innovative at the time but one that will now seem familiar to many practitioners and comprised an introductory booklet, 16 component cards, a poster, a video and a CD-ROM (see box and pictures).
