The free online videos, which have been created by teachers and early years experts, aim to address the gap in the market for content that meets the requirements of the early years curriculum.

Carrie Lomas, CEO for EYFSHome, said, 'At this time of need we're here to help all those looking after young children - taking the pressure off busy childcare providers and parents by providing high quality, free, daily activities linked to all areas of the EYFS Early Learning Goals.

'We're also starting to share the amazing creations children are making and supporting parents through our growing social media community. And we're always looking for people to get in touch with new ideas - we've had author takeover days and farm visits but we're always looking for more.’

As well as timetabled daily activities led by teachers, storytellers, celebrities and artists, and breakout days in the wider community, EYFSHome also offers links to support and advice for parents, and a social media community to share ideas on homeschooling and the great work produced by the children in our community. 

Parents and childcare providers can sign up for updates at www.eyfshome.com or on Facebook (facebook.com/eyfshome), Instagram (eyfshome) or Twitter (@eyfshome).

EYFSHome was established in March at the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic. It has since been awarded a three-month grant from the Government’s Innovate UK scheme.
