The Learning and Development Programme for Early Years Foundation Stage, Childcare and Play Practitioners has been designed to give clear information to practitioners working with children and young people from birth to the age of 19.
The primary aim is to enable practitioners to meet required standards expected by law and to prepare settings for registration and inspection by Ofsted. It is also designed to enhance career and professional development opportunities to improve outcomes for children.
