Early Years Foundation Stage Updates

Childhood Studies and Early Years

If you’re studying Childhood Studies, Childhood and Society Studies, primary education or PGCE in early years you will be interested in new guidance and an update on the statutory framework for early years.

The early years sector published Birth To 5 Matters – Guidance by the sector, for the sector online. as a downloadable publication. You can buy print copies from the Early Education website at £8.50 each. The UK government produced a revised Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage in September 2021. We have added these to our Key Resources for Childhood/Childhood and Society Studies.

There is additional government guidance for childminders and early years providers. You will also find supporting material on the Foundation Years website.
