THIS THREAD WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN 2012 please check to see which is the current framework - EYFS 2014

-----------


Hi, if you're in England the main framework is the early years foundation stage 2008 which has now been superseded by the 2012 framework.

This is a quote from the 2008 framework where the practice guidance was once national guidance.
Quote:
This document contains the statutory framework for the EYFS.

It sets out the legal requirements relating to learning and development (the early learning goals; the educational programmes; and the assessment arrangements) in Section 2 and the legal requirements relating to welfare (safeguarding and promoting children’s welfare; suitable people; suitable premises, environment and equipment; organisation; and documentation) in Section 3. The learning and development requirements are given legal force by the Early Years Foundation Stage (Learning and Development Requirements) Order 2007 made under Section 39 (1) (a) of the Childcare Act 2006.

The welfare requirements are given legal force by Regulations made under Section 39 (1) (b) of the Childcare Act 2006.

Together, the Order, the Regulations and the Statutory Framework document make up the legal basis of the EYFS.

The requirements in this document have statutory force by virtue of Section 44 (1) of the Childcare Act 2006.
