When you're required to report to parents
You must provide parents of children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) with a written progress report on their child's development:
- When the child is aged between 2 and 3 (known as the 'progress check at age 2'), and
- At the end of the EYFS (known as the 'EYFS profile', or 'EYFSP')
This is laid out on pages 18 to 20 in the DfE’s Early years foundation stage statutory framework (EYFS).
