Guest lucyevans Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Just when you'd got used to finding everything on the EYFS website they have scrapped it! Everything is now here in a new format! http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.g...earlyyears/eyfs Although it is still available on the old website for a limited period!

HappyMaz Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 It wouldn't open in my browser. Does that mean my setting can be an EYFS-free zone?

Guest Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Did it say in the EYE article why DCSF have changed the EYFS website? What was wrong with the old one. As you say, there's so much less on there and I can't find what I want!!!! Might add feedback...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Sent my feedback, quite forcibly!! If we all send negative feedback is there a chance they will revert to the original format and content?LETS TRY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 There is a "EYFS resource index" on the new site which is at: http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/node/93101 It has all the research papers and planning documents etc on this page. Not sure how I got to it from the main site though? Starburst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Well, so much for doing the feedback.... this is their reply (albeit quick...) Thank you for emailing your feedback about the new website. I understand your concern about the changes but we have in fact migrated all of the content on the current EYFS site to the new home of the National Strategies. It was not technically possible to maintain the previous EYFS format within the framework of the new National Strategies site. We welcome your feedback on this matter and are continually looking at ways to improve the usability and presentation of the content that we provide. Please feel free to contact us for any further queries. Regards Monica Sharma Customer & Events Co-ordinator National Strategies Tel: 0845 8501444 Fax: 0118 9182510 monica.sharma@nationalstrategies.co.uk That's rubbish isn't it? Surely there are enough 'techies' on this earth to make it happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi, A member of the National Strategies team wanted me to explain a couple of things about the new website. Firstly, the old website is still there, for the time being, and I have put links into the old one and new one, on the home page of this website, so you can easily get to them. The website developers are keeping this old one available for the time being so that they can be sure the new one works according to plan and can cope with the increased enquiries. Secondly, the main reason for the new design is that it has a more powerful search engine and it is hoped will be much easier to use and find what you want, once you have got used to it. I have to say, I think it's easier to navigate, and it looks prettier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I agree the new site is easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi, I know I'm being dim but I can't seem to see the blank planning documents I keep hearing about. I've looked at the link above but am not the wiser - please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 That's rubbish isn't it? Surely there are enough 'techies' on this earth to make it happen? The problem is the sleeves on their anoraks are too tight, and have cut off the circulation to their fingers which is preventing them pulling them out and doing something useful!
