Early Years Reviews

Strong early years provision lays the foundation for future success.

At Prestolee MAT, we provide Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) reviews to help schools and settings evaluate and strengthen their practice. Our reviews focus on how effectively children are supported to develop key skills, knowledge and attitudes in the early years, ensuring they are well prepared for the next stage of learning.

What we provide

Independent review of early years provision, including curriculum design, teaching practice and environment.
Evaluation of how well provision meets the needs of all children, including those with additional needs.
Observation of practice, with constructive feedback for leaders and staff.
Analysis of assessment, tracking and monitoring systems.
Bespoke recommendations and an action plan tailored to your setting.
Optional follow up support, CPD and opportunities to visit other high performing EYFS settings.
