Early Years

School Performance Overview

The proportion of good and outstanding schools in Slough is 87% which is 2% below the national average (equal to one school). Standards in key measures are above national average in EYFS, Key Stage 2 and significantly above the national average at Key Stage 4. Standards at KS5 are just below the national average at Post-16 for A-Level and Applied General Entry, but above the national average for pupils attaining AAB in facilitating subjects.

Childcare Sufficiency

The Childcare Act 2006 places a duty on local authorities to carry out a full Childcare Sufficiency Assessment every three years with an information refresh in the intervening years. The local authority is required to report annually to elected council members on how they are meeting their duty to secure sufficient childcare, and make this report available and accessible to parents.

Early Years Business Development

Early Years businesses range from individuals working on their own or group settings which can be open all year round or school term time only.

Early Years | Continuous Professional Development

Slough Early Years Service provides a comprehensive schedule of training opportunities designed to support providers to manage their CPD and statutory duties regarding safeguarding and child protection, paediatric first aid and food hygiene.

Early Years & Childcare - Funded Early Education

There are a range of free entitlements that enable families to have funded early education places for 2, 3 and 4 year olds. Slough Early Years Service co ordinates information about these entitlements and manages the payments to Early Years Providers for the provision of free places.

Early Years Foundation Stage

The Early Years Foundation Stage extends from birth to five and is underpinned by the EYFS Statutory framework .  The EYFS Statutory Framework is for all early years providers in England: It outlines the statutory requirements in the following areas:

Safeguarding Projects

We are working on a range of projects to raise the profile of safeguarding with children and young people through creative ways including drama, arts and digital platforms in PSHE.

Early Help

Early Help is about identifying the needs of children and families at an early stage to prevent problems escalating, and empowering families to seek and accept tailored, coordinated support that improves the lives of individual children, young people and whole families.

Early Years

The term ‘early years’ refers to a specific period of time between birth and age five. During this time young children consolidate, through play and exploration, the abilities, knowledge and skills that provide the foundation for their future progress through school and life.
