This webinar aims to support EYFS leaders and practitioners as they prepare for September and the revised Early Years Foundation Stage framework. In conversation with Dr Julian Grenier, the session explores key changes to be aware of and how Development Matters can be used to inform your planning, with a particular focus on maintaining high ambitions for learners. The webinar is hosted by NACE EYFS Curriculum Adviser Emma Tibbitts.
