Learning Ladders give schools choices in how they create their curriculum. Read more about the choices here.

One option is to utilise the non-statutory EYFS Frameworks as a basis for your EYFS curriculum. The Early Years Framework 2021outlines:

1.2 Development Matters, non-statutory curriculum guidance for the EYFS, is available to support providers in delivery of the EYFS learning and development requirements. As this document is non-statutory, Ofsted a inspectorates of independent schools will not have regard to it in carrying out inspections and it is up to providers to decide how they approach the curriculum. (DfE Early Years Framework 2021)
