Steve Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Stop - don't go home for Christmas! Nursery World has just reported that a further 'short' consultation will be issued (probably next week) after your responses to the EYFS consultation earlier this year. The new consultation, according to NW, 'will look at specific aspects of the revised framework, and will be published alongside the Government's official response to the EYFS consultation'. So, not time to relax yet then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_2157 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yet again a consultation outside of term time..... co-incidence!? Nona I wouldn't be surprised if they bring it out on the 25th to be completed by the 26th!!! I suppose at least it will give us a glimmer as to what way they are going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_9650 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thanks for the heads up Steve. Honestly some of these posts are so cynical - surely the government are desperate for our informed opinion and are only putting out the consultation over a holiday period to make sure that we can give it our undivided attention - after all what else is there to do over the Xmas break :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_12960 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 oooh goodey, a consultaion on a consultation, before we have seen the results of the last consultation.....it feels like the revised EYFS is turning into a money making exercise for someone out there. However, despite my cynicism, I will keep an eye out for it and will respond and would urge all of you to do the same. Its important that our views are taken into account, so respond we must, holidays or not!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_1999 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Just followed a link from Nursery World and saw this 2.2 The EYFS sets legal requirements for all early years providers on the Early Years Register, as well as independent and maintained and non-maintained special schools with provision for children from the age of three to the end of the academic year in which they turn 5. THe red bit is my emphasis but does this mean there is no 'official' guidance for our under 3's?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe our little ones are included and the 'from the age of 3' only applies to independent/maintained/ special schools who only take chidlren from the age of 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Ok chaps - for anyone who hasn't found it yet, here's the new consultation! It's open until 19th January, so there's time to respond after your Christmas break, and we'll send out a reminder early in the New Year so if the festivities damage your memory we will hopefully manage to jog you in time.

Steve Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 You might also like a link to the Government's response to the consultation. Find it here - quite a long document breaking down how you responded to the proposals, and the government's views on those responses - also which bits are not yet decided and why they are continuing with a further short consultation.

AnonyMouse_3735 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 need time to download and read the thing... had a quick glance at the overview bit.. how they expect to have responses from everyone, including parents is beyond me.. takes me all my time to understand the jargon - how many parents have the time for all this.. or in fact even know about it..
