F2 - Development Matters 2021
Date: 23rd Sep 2021 @ 10:21pm
In July the DfE published a revised version of Development Matters, the government's non-statutory curriculum guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
The DfE have stated that changes to content are minor and providers will not need to alter any planning based on the September 2020 version that they may have already made.

"Minor changes include: updated links, making minor tweaks to wording for clarification purposes, updates to the Introduction and Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning sections to ensure the wording is aligned with the aims of the reforms and reflects the most recent research and evidence ensuring the document is accessible, inclusive, and easier to navigate which includes a new design, layout and colour coding.
No major changes have been made to the curriculum guidance under the seven areas of learning and therefore this update should not impact planning based on the early adopter version of Development Matters."
