Understanding Your Child's Development
On this page you will find link to some useful information to help you understand your child's development, learning, emotional, and social life. There is also information to help you and your child cope with problem situations that you may encounter along the way.
What to expect, when?
The purpose of this booklet is to help you as a parent/carer find out more about how your child is learning and developing during their first five years, in relation to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Children develop more rapidly during the first five years of their lives than at any other time. This booklet has been written to help you as a parent know what to expect during these vitally important years by focusing on the seven areas of learning and development which are covered in the EYFS.
