Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this Early Years Foundation Stage Framework specifically for?
This framework is specifically designed for registered childminders operating within England and Wales. It outlines the statutory requirements for learning, development, and welfare that all childminders must meet to ensure children receive high-quality early education and care.
How does this framework apply to childminders in England compared to other UK regions?
This specific edition of the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework applies solely to registered childminders in England. Separate regulatory frameworks govern early years provision in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, making this publication essential for compliance within its specified jurisdiction.
Is this the most current edition of the EYFS Statutory Framework for childminders?
Yes, this edition of the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework applies from 1 September 2026. It represents the official and current guidance from the Department for Education for registered childminders in England, ensuring you have the latest requirements for compliance.
What is the purpose of this statutory framework for my childminding business?
This 53-page framework serves as your definitive guide to fulfilling legal obligations as a registered childminder. It provides detailed requirements for safeguarding, welfare, and learning and development, which you must adhere to for Ofsted inspections and to maintain your registration.
Does purchasing this framework satisfy a legal requirement for my childminding setting?
While purchasing the framework itself isn't a direct legal requirement, understanding and implementing its contents is mandatory for all registered childminders in England. This publication provides the official text, enabling you to evidence your compliance with the statutory duties outlined.

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.
