What is it?
The Curriculum guidance for the foundation stage is intended to help practitioners plan to meet the diverse needs of all children. Most children will achieve and some, where appropriate, will go beyond the early learning goals by the end of the foundation stage.
Guidance is given on:
- aims for the foundation stage;
- principles for early years education;
- learning and teaching;
- planning, provision and assessment.
The early learning goals are set out within six areas of learning. Stepping stones show the knowledge, skills understanding and attitudes that children need in order to achieve the early learning goals. The guidance gives 'examples of what children do', which help practitioners to identify significant developments and plan the next steps in children's learning. It also gives examples of what the practitioner needs to do to support and consolidate learning and help children make progress towards the early learning goals.
A PDF version can be downloaded from the resources area of the Early Years Foundation Stage website.
