The New Early Years Reforms

After reading the Early Years Reforms information above you might like to find out more about one of the Educational Programmes we used as guidance to create our own curriculum. 

The Department for Education has published a new guide for parents, produced by Sheringham Nursery School and Children’s Centre – ‘What to Expect in the Early Years Foundation Stage’ (formally called ‘What to Expect When’) which guides parents and carers through what to expect in their child’s development. It aligns with guidance given to schools to help practitioners and parents. Please click on the link below to view the document.
