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.
