The EYFS has revolutionised the way we work. We are all much clearer in our knowledge of what interests the children and are able to plan more effectively. This has resulted in better behaviour and more focused play.

- Max321 - Small settings EYFS

A friend was told by their EYDCP that when Every Child Matters comes into effect practitioners will NOT be allowed to have any input into any of the work a child does. This includes no topics, no card making, no festivals.

- Busybee - Nothing to be done?

I work in a baby room. We are not allowed to have themes or use templates. If children don't want to paint they don't have to (how can a five-month-old know what he wants?). We are not allowed to mop up spilt water as it is their markings.
