I have a document that links ECM and EYFS in free downloads... just go to FREE downloads at the top of the forum. I think it's on the right hand side of the lists.

There is also loads of stuff on my www.eyfsforchildminders.webnode.com website that you might find helpful on the policies and procedures tab :D
