Quality Statements

These quality statements have been produced to guide practitioners and their managers in implementing best practice in order that all children’s needs are met through the provision of a high quality Foundation Stage curriculum.

We recommend that practitioners with their senior managers complete each section of the Quality Statement in turn, gathering evidence to evaluate strategic and daily management of the Foundation Stage, the extent of current provision and the quality of current practice. Completing this will allow you to identify priorities for development.

Please note there are 2 Foundation Stage Quality Statements, one for schools and maintained early years settings; the other for early years settings in the private and voluntary sectors. Download the quality statements below.
