Julian Grenier, head teacher at Sheringham Nursery School in Newham, east London, is leading on the updating of the document with the Department for Education.
It is rolling out the guidance alongside the EYFS reforms, with the revised Development Matters due to be published in early 2020.
The DfE said it aims to focus practitioners and teachers on the importance of rich daily activities to improve outcomes and to help reduce workload.
The DfE has also appointed an EYFS advisory panel of 11 members, which includes Mr Grenier and ten others from the worlds of teaching and education (see box).
Although there are no individual representatives from the PVI nursery sector on the panel, Nursery World understands that the Early Years Alliance, the National Day Nurseries Association and the Professional Association of Early Years and Childcare (PACEY) are also involved in the guidance revision process.
