The Early Years Foundation. Stage (EYFS) statutory framework is mandatory for all schools that provide early years provision and OfSTED-registered early years Providers in England. The EYFS sets the standards that all early years Providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. See Appendix 1, 4. Early years foundation stage statutory framework (EYFS) Providers must deliver the full Learning and Development requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) unless: • they are an independent school which has met the quality requirement(most recent Ofsted inspection judgement is “good” or better) and notified the Secretary of State that they intend to take up exemption from the Learning and Development requirement; or • the Department has granted an exemption from one or more of the Learning and Development requirements on the grounds that the provider’s established principles cannot be reconciled with one or more of the Learning and Development requirements.; or • they are providers offering care exclusively before and after school or during school holidays for children younger than those in the reception class age range. In this case they should be guided by, but do not have to meet, the Learning and Development requirements.
