Development Matters discussion with Dr Julian Grenier (part 2)
Our previous conversation with Julian Grenier, lead writer for Development Matters 2020 guidance (https://www.childcare.co.uk/childmind..., has been watched thousands of early years providers and this led to members asking even more questions about the changes.
There are just over 3 months to go until we need to start using the revised educational programmes in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS, 2021) and Julian kindly agreed to a second discussion with us, to answer some of our member questions and hopefully resolve some of our concerns.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) 2020, the new statutory framework to be used from September 2021, introduces a new way of delivering the learning and development requirements for all early years providers in England.
The educational programmes of the EYFS 2020 have been completely revised and, alongside the new educational programmes, the expectations for adult-guided teaching have been strengthened.
To help providers work with the new statutory requirements of the EYFS 2020, the non-statutory Development Matters guidance has also been re-written to contain a suggested curriculum.
