Nurseries, childminders, parents and experts have until 30 September to contribute to the EYFS review.
Announced last month by children’s minister Sarah Teather, the review will cover four main areas: the scope of regulation, learning and development, assessment and welfare.
It will consider whether the EYFS is too bureaucratic and how to shift the focus to getting children ready for school and improve the attainment of children from deprived backgrounds.
The consultation launched today includes specific questions for parents, as well as early years practitioners and providers.
Dame Clare Tickell, who is leading the review, said, ‘I hope those with a passion for early years education take the opportunity to respond to this call for evidence. I want to hear from parents, professionals, carers and other early years experts about their experiences and views on the EYFS. I particularly want to hear from those who are delivering the EYFS on a regular basis and can advise on where we could make improvements.
