A comprehensive document outlining progressive developmental steps from birth to the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). It provides clear, detailed guidance on incremental stages of development, supporting accurate assessment of children working significantly below expected EYFS standards. This resource is ideal for helping practitioners unpick children’s needs and identify precise next steps. It also serves as an invaluable tool for subject leaders, offering insight into what each curriculum area looks like for children working developmentally well below age-related expectations (ARE). For example, it clarifies what early reading may look like for a child functioning at a 12-month developmental stage. Designed for use in mainstream settings, the document supports the monitoring and planning of small-step progression for children with complex SEND needs. Covers the following areas: Self-regulation Managing self Building relationships Listening & attention Understanding Speaking Gross Motor Skills Fine Motor Skills Comprehension Word-reading Writing Numbers Number patterns Past & present People, communities and culture The natural world Creating with materials Being imaginative & expressive Word document so schools can add their own logos or change the names of the steps to align with school vision/values.
