Assessment

plays an important part in helping parents, carers and practitioners to recognise children’s progress

Ongoing assessment (also known as formative assessment) is an integral part of the learning and development process. It involves practitioners knowing children’s level of achievement and interests, and then shaping teaching and learning experiences for each child reflecting that knowledge. In their interactions with children, practitioners should respond to their own day-to-day observations about children’s progress and observations that parents and carers share.

Key Features of the EYFS

providing a comprehensive approach to early childhood education

Play-Based Learning

The EYFS recognizes the importance of play in young children's development. Play is seen as a vital vehicle for learning and is incorporated into all aspects of the curriculum.

Observational Assessment

Educators use ongoing observation and assessment to track children's progress and plan for their individual needs. This includes regular progress checks, assessments against age-related expectations, and tracking of development using assessment tools.

Partnership with Parents

The EYFS places great importance on involving parents as partners in their child's learning journey. Regular communication, sharing of information, and involving parents in decision-making are key elements.

Continuity and Transition

Smooth transitions and effective communication between different early years settings, such as nurseries and primary schools, are emphasized to ensure children's continued progress and well-being.
