Early Years Foundation Stage: Profile Handbook

This resource from QCA is the Profile Handbook which contains information and guidance on Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) profiles. The EYFS is a comprehensive statutory framework published in 2007 by the Department for Children, Schools and Families which sets standards for development, learning and care of children from birth to five.

The primary purpose of the EYFS profile is to provide Year One teachers with reliable and accurate information about each child’s level of development as they reach the end of the EYFS, enabling the teacher to plan an effective, responsive and appropriate curriculum that will meet all children’s needs.

This handbook has been developed to support practitioners who have to complete EYFS assessment profiles.
