Sector unites ahead of Government consultation on EYFS

A new early years coalition has launched a survey for practitioners and leaders, amid widespread concern about the Government’s planned changes for the Early Years Foundation Stage.

The group of early years organisations have come together to ensure a strong and unified voice from the sector as the Department for Education (DfE) works on changes to the early years curriculum, ahead of a consultation on the proposals later this year.

They say that early years experts were insufficiently involved in drafting the revised Early Learning Goals (ELGs).

The coalition members include Early Education, the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA), PACEY and the Early Years Alliance, who have designed the survey to gauge the sector’s views in advance of the Government consultation.

The group wants to hear about practitioners' experience of the current EYFS across the sector, including what helps, what makes it more difficult, and what should change. The responses will be used to put together a report to inform decision-making by ministers and officials about possible changes to the EYFS.
