Department of Education

There have been a number of small amendments to section 3 of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, safety and welfare requirements.

The changes have been made following feedback from the sector to:

  • Clarify existing policy and address commonly asked questions;
  • Provide links to new or updated guidance that may be useful, for instance around preparing food safely for children of different ages; and
  • Reflect updates in legislation and systems that have taken place since the EYFS framework was updated in 2017.

You will find a summary of the changes made in this table.
