Progress Check

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requires that parents and carers must be supplied with a short, written summary of their child’s development in the three prime learning and development areas of the EYFS: Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Physical Development; and Communication and Language; when the child is aged between 24-36 months.

The aims of the progress check are to:

• review a child’s development in the three prime areas of the EYFS;

• ensure that parents have a clear picture of their child’s development;

• enable practitioners to understand the child’s needs and plan activities to meet them in the setting;

• enable parents to understand the child’s needs and, with support from practitioners, enhance development at home;

• note areas where a child is progressing well and identify any areas where progress is less than expected; and

• describe actions the school intends to take to address any developmental concerns (including working with other professionals where appropriate).
