Dr Julian Grenier, who led on the revision of the non-statutory Development Matters, said he was planning further support to help practitioners and managers to become familiar with the new document.
The further guidance, called the Curriculum Guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage, will expand on the seven best-practice strands within the revised Development Matters and will be published independently.
Dr Grenier, lead of the East London Research School and head teacher of Sheringham Nursery School and Children’s Centre, told Nursery World, ‘The new Development Matters remains non-statutory – it’s there to help everyone in the early years to plan a suitable and ambitious curriculum for their children and to check that every child is getting the support they need to make progress in their learning.
