Early Years Foundation Stage Profile

The EYFS profile (EYFSP) must be completed for each child in the final term of the academic year in which they reach age 5. Therefore, it is usually undertaken by reception teachers.

On some occasions, other early years settings will need to complete the profile, if it is not being done in reception year at school.

The Profile provides parents and carers, practitioners and teachers with a well- rounded picture of a child’s knowledge, understanding and abilities, their attainment against expected levels, and their readiness for Year 1. The Profile must reflect practitioners’ own knowledge and professional judgement of a child to inform discussions with parents and carers, and any other person whom the teacher, parent or carer judges can offer a useful contribution.
