This free EYFS Quality Assurance Forms resource is designed to help schools and early years settings evaluate the quality of EYFS provision through focused lesson observations, learning walks and book scrutiny. It provides a clear, practical framework for reviewing key areas such as the quality of teaching and interactions, use of environment and resources, curriculum implementation, behaviour and attitudes, assessment, individual needs, safeguarding, routines, transitions, children's engagement, wellbeing, and progress and parent involvement.
The forms use clear Working Towards, Working At and Exceeding descriptors to support consistent, evidence-informed quality assurance across the early years. They help leaders look closely at the features of strong EYFS practice, including high-quality adult-child interactions, language development, child-led learning, enabling environments, outdoor provision, responsive assessment, inclusive support and meaningful learning journeys.
Use this resource to carry out effective EYFS quality assurance and build a clearer picture of strengths, development areas and next steps across your setting. Schools can use the forms independently or integrate them directly into our Flourish Quality Assurance software, where EYFS evidence can be stored, analysed and tracked using powerful reporting tools such as heat maps and trend analysis.
