Sue's ChildmindingEarly Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
EYFS came into force in September 2008 and applies to children from birth to the 31 August following their 5th birthday. All childcare providers including Registered Childminders, are required to follow EYFS and work together to support the children in their care.
