(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order made under the Childcare Act 2006 (“the Act”) specifies the learning and development requirements in relation to each of the areas of learning and development that early years providers must secure in providing early years provision.
Article 3 specifies the learning and development requirements and gives legal effect to the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, published by the Secretary of State for Education and Skills. Early years providers are required to have regard to the guidance in the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage in securing that the early years provision they provide meets the learning and development requirements.
Article 4 sets out further provisions about assessment arrangements. Local authorities are required to make provision to ensure the accuracy and consistency of assessments made by early years providers.
Article 5 requires the Chief Inspector to have regard to the requirements and guidance in Section 2 of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage in exercising functions under Part 3 of the Act.
Article 6 enables the Chief Inspector of Education, Children's Services and Skills (“the Chief Inspector”), in exercising her functions under Part 3 of the Act, to take into account allegations that an early years provider has failed to meet the learning and development requirements, or failed to have regard to guidance in Section 2 of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. Article 7 allows any such allegation to be taken account in any proceedings under Part 3 of the Act.
The learning and development requirements, together with welfare requirements specified under section 39(1)(b) of the Act, make up the Early Years Foundation Stage. The learning and development requirements will replace the curriculum guidance for the foundation stage which was given legal effect by the Education (National Curriculum) (Foundation Stage Early Learning Goals) (England) Order 2003 S.I. 2003/391.
