The Revised Early Years Foundation Stage 

The Revised Early Years Foundation Stage became statutory in September 2021. To support the implementation of this, Pearson is working in partnership with Babcock Learning and Development Early Years Team offering a series of virtual training events in November 2021.

These events will aim to ensure schools and settings are building on the initial implementation of the EYFS reforms and bring together key messages from the DfE and Ofsted to enable EYFS practitioners to implement these changes. 

There are three courses for you to choose from. 

  • An Introduction to the Revised EYFS for Teaching Assistants 
  • The Revised EYFS in Practice (Pre-reception) 
  • The Revised EYFS in Practice (Reception)
