Support for Childcare Providers
The Early Years Foundation Stage
Local Support
Childcare settings can access support around the Early Years Foundation Stage through a team of development workers. If you do not know who your development worker is then contact the Early Years service on 01904 554384.
The Early Years Foundation Stage Forum
In order to offer extra support to all those working within the EYFS we have arranged free full membership of the Foundation Stage Forum.
This gives you online access to:
- A national support network of EYFS professionals
- Membership of hugely active community of teachers, practitioners, providers, and other professionals
- A 24 hour resource for people in similar settings and situations
- Downloadable resources, eg planning and policy templates, topic based focus plans and articles on all aspects of EYFS
- Your own local forum, for meeting up online with practitioners from your area
How to become a member

Out-of-school clubs support
This out-of-school club resource section holds lots of useful information for Playworkers looking for information and support about out-of-school provision.
All the documents can be downloaded and adapted for use in your setting.
