Interview with Children's Minister Sarah Teather causes unease


www.Grub4Life.com today reports that Sarah Teather has recently been interviewed about her plans and policies for the review of the EYFS.21-07-2010

She’s had to hit the ground running with her announcement of a fundamental review of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She is as yet an unknown quantity to most in the early years sector, so she will have to work hard to get to know the people and to tackle the issues that are most urgent.

Sarah is adamant that she has a very open mind about what changes may be made to the EYFS as a result of Dame Clare Tickell's review, but frequent references to 'getting children ready for school' and 'ready to learn' may cause unease.

For those providers desperate for action on the free entitlement funding, with September's extension to 15 hours looming, there may be a sense of frustration that it's back to square one again - the minister would like providers to contact her with evidence of their funding difficulties. She will not be drawn on the thorny issue of top-up fees. On training and qualifications, we must wait for the spending review.
