What is the early years industry?

The early years industry refers to the diverse range of services and organisations dedicated to the care, education, and development of children from birth to the age of five.
This includes nurseries, pre-schools, childminders, playgroups, and early years education within schools.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework sets out the standards for learning, development, and care for children in this age range.

The early years industry plays a crucial role in providing a nurturing environment for young children, supporting their growth and preparing them for later stages of education and life.
