New EYFS guide helps parents support learning

Counting with children as you put their socks on and talking about
the sounds you hear on a trip to the park are just two tips from a new
guide to help parents support their children's learning.

The first in-depth guidance on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) aimed directly at parents is called What to Expect, When?, and is written from the point of view of a child at six different points in their early years.

The new guide, developed by 4Children from talking to parents, is designed to help parents understand their child's learning and development at different stages from birth to five.

It looks at how to support parents with their child's learning using simple ideas for different ages and stages of their development.

It comes ahead of a series of key policy changes, including the introduction of the Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) from next month, and the expansion of the integrated review from September, which merges the health visitor check that children have at the age of two with the EYFS progress check.
