Frequently Asked Questions
Who should purchase the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework: Childminders?
This publication is specifically designed for registered childminders operating in England and Wales. It provides the essential legal requirements and guidance they must follow to deliver high-quality early years provision, ensuring compliance with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework.
Is this EYFS framework applicable to childminders outside England and Wales?
No, this specific Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework edition is exclusively for childminders registered and operating within England and Wales. Other UK nations, such as Scotland and Northern Ireland, have their own distinct regulatory frameworks for early years provision.
Does this framework help me comply with legal requirements as a childminder?
Absolutely. This document outlines the statutory requirements that all registered childminders in England and Wales must meet. Possessing and understanding this framework is crucial for ensuring your early years setting adheres to legal obligations concerning children's learning, development, and welfare, supporting your Ofsted inspections.
Is this the most current edition of the EYFS Statutory Framework for Childminders?
Yes, this is the current edition of the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework for Childminders, published by the Department for Education. It applies until 31 August 2026. Any subsequent updates or new editions will be officially released by the Department for Education, replacing this version.
How can a childminder use this EYFS Statutory Framework in their practice?
Childminders use this framework as their primary guide for developing and delivering their educational and care provision. It details the learning and development requirements, and welfare standards, helping to plan activities, assess children's progress, and ensure a safe, stimulating environment, fully compliant with national standards.

Can I get help implementing this?
Absolutely! Our consultants can help you implement this food safety system in your business.View our consulting services.
Do I legally need a food safety management system?
UK food law requires every food business to have a documented, HACCP-based food safety management system in place. An official pack like this is one recognised way to meet that, not the only one. You can build your own, but a ready-made pack gives you a structure EHOs know and expect.Get help putting one in place.
Which pack should I choose?
Start with your trade. Butchers and meat retailers use ButcherSafe; shops and food retailers use Safer Food, Better Business for Retailers; registered childminders use the SFBB childminders pack. Caterers, restaurants and cafes can use CookSafe, Safe Catering, the Industry Guide or the FSA's Safer Food, Better Business pack, with versions tailored to Chinese and South Asian cuisines. They all cover the same HACCP essentials, so pick the one you prefer or the one your EHO recommends, and you can buy and use any pack anywhere in the UK.
Can I use this anywhere in the UK?
Yes. All our packs are built on the same HACCP principles and are used by food businesses across the UK. The region shown reflects the authority that publishes each pack; it is not a restriction. Some EHOs even recommend a particular pack whatever your nation, for example a butcher in England using ButcherSafe, or an officer in Wales recommending the Scottish CookSafe pack.
