The early years foundation stage profile
The early years foundation stage profile is statutory for the 2016 to 2017 academic year.
Local authorities, early years education providers and education professionals with responsibility for assessing, reporting or moderating the early years foundation stage (EYFS) profile should use this handbook.
The latest version is available here and was updated on 31 October 2016.
It gives guidance to help you complete and moderate EYFS profile judgements so that outcomes are accurate and consistent across all early years settings.
It should be used alongside the EYFS Assessment and reporting arrangements.
