Guest Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think if I were to ask the parents in my setting what the EYFS was they would all stare at me blankley. I always explain to them what it is on induction into the pre-school but I thikn at the time I am bombarding them with so much information they probably dont take very much in. What I would like is nothing no bigger than an A4 sheet explaining what the EYFS is. I know this is a tall order but I really dont think the majority of parents would be interested in reading any more than and A4 sheet - does one of these exist? If not does anyone know if I can directly quote off of websites like direct.gov or would that be plagerism? I want to devise something that is a bit interesting to look at with the main points of the EYFS covered. We have just started a WOW wall which is going down brilliantly and after a not quite so glowing RAG judgement I want to try and make an effort before our EYFS development worker comes in to show that I am making an effort to try and address the issues on the RAG judgements - any help appreciated what do you use?

Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi, we use this, you're welcome to use it too. It fits on 2 sides of A4 so it becomes a little A5 booklet so not too daunting! I have a printer that will do this but you could also shrink it on a photocopier. Hope that helps.

Phoebe123 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi there, Yes, I was going to suggest this one too. It is well laid out and not too long. Very easy to use. A good one to hand out priot to Cait's WOW sheets. Lesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
