Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
The EYFS is the statutory framework for children from birth to five in England, used by nurseries, preschools, childminders, and Reception classes — and by most British-curriculum nurseries in the UAE and worldwide. It organises learning into seven areas: three prime areas that underpin everything else, and four specific areas that build on them.
