Curriculum & Teaching Review
A strong curriculum is the heart of a good school. It decides what children learn, in what order, and how well it…
ExploreEYFS Curriculum & Provision Review
The early years shape everything that follows. Strong EYFS provision gives children the best start; weak provision means gaps that follow them for years. We review your early years curriculum and provision independently, so you know whether every child is on track to reach a good level of development.
Below, we explain what an EYFS review involves, and how it helps you strengthen provision for your youngest children.
What Is EYFS Curriculum & Provision Review?
It’s an independent review of your early years curriculum, environment, and provision. We look at your curriculum across the areas of learning, the quality of the environment and interactions, communication and early language, and how well the provision serves every child.
We ground it in the EYFS framework and what strong early years practice looks like, and triangulate curriculum, environment, and children’s learning for an honest picture.
Who Is It For?
It’s designed for all education settings with early years provision: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, and nursery and reception teams. Headteachers, EYFS leaders, and senior leaders use it to strengthen early years.
Many schools ask for it to raise the quality of provision, improve good level of development, or prepare for how the renewed framework inspects early years.
