This document invites comments on a draft of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which is due to come into force in September 2008. This will be a single framework for care, learning and development for children in all early years settings from birth to the August after their fifth birthday. The EYFS is intended to play a key role in improving the life chances to all children, regardless of their family circumstances, by setting a clear expectation of the care, learning and development they will receive, whatever the setting they attend.
