Early Years Foundation Stage Profile

All registered early years providers are required to complete an Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) profile for each child at the end of the academic year in which he or she reaches the age of five. The primary purpose is to provide year 1 teachers with reliable and accurate information about each child's level of development as they reach the end of EYFS, enabling the teacher to plan an effective, responsive and appropriate curriculum that will meet all children's needs. Assessment, based on observation of children's learning and development, is an integral part of the EYFS.

Practitioners need to pay close attention to the written exemplification in chapter 7 of The Early Years Foundation Stage Profile Handbook (NAA,2008) and the video exemplification on the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA) website
