Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) media pack (August 2008)
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is part of the Government's wider scheme, laid out in the Children's Plan and Every Child Matters, to give all children the best possible start in life. Introducing statutory standards for childcare for 0- to 5-year-olds gives every child the right, regardless of their background, to play, have fun and develop safely when they are looked after outside of their home. It means that parents can relax, safe in the knowledge that their children will get the same excellent standards of learning and care, regardless of the type of setting they attend.

‘Fun and Freedom’ (28th August 2008)
Children have identified freedom, socialising with friends and active outdoor fun as vital to play in a new report published by Play England and the children’s commissioner for England. For most children, freedom, physical activity and areas that encourage them to socialize were crucial elements of good play provision. An opportunity to engage in active, outdoor play was the most consistent request. However, barriers to play still exist and many children raised concerns about road traffic, bullying, peer-racism, stranger danger and negative adult attitudes.
