The actual wording of the EYFS has not been changed...I have not found any different so far
you may not need to reprint apart from the Clarification page 34 and make notes on your copy
We discussed this recently when 4 Children said there were clarifications to be made and the DfE tweeted they would not change the PDF just inform of the clarification and wrong cross references
The one to look at is on page 24 which refers to the L&D requirements for children in wraparound care
I am sure we will debate this at length in future
Clarification note
On page 14, paragraph 2.8, there is an inaccurate cross-reference. The first sentence which refers to para 1.10, should in fact refer to para 1.9.
On page 20, paragraph 3.20 says “Induction training must include information about emergency evacuation procedures, safeguarding, child protection, the provider’s equality policy, and health and safety issues”. This sentence does not mean that providers must have an equal opportunities policy, but instead means that where the provider does have such a policy, induction should be provided on it.
On page 21, footnote 18 says that first aid training “must cover the course content as for St John Ambulance or Red Cross paediatric first aid training and be renewed every three years”. Whilst the training undertaken may cover first aid for adults as well as children, first aid for adults is not an EYFS requirement. The footnote does not mean that early years providers must choose St John Ambulance or the British Red Cross to provide such training; providers are free to choose either of these organisations or another training provider. The Register of Regulated Qualifications may help providers to identify paediatric first aid providers and can be found at: The Register of Regulated Qualifications - Search for Qualifications. It may also be helpful to refer to the Health and Safety Executive’s guidance about choosing a first aid training provider which can be found at: Selection of a competent first aid training organisation - First aid at work - HSE.
On page 24, paragraph 3.40, under the heading Before/after school care and holiday provision, says “Providers do not need to meet the learning and development requirements in section 1”. Out-of-hours providers who care for children younger than Reception age should continue to be guided by, but do not have to meet, the learning and development requirements and should discuss with parents and/or carers (and other practitioners/providers as appropriate, including school staff/teachers) the support they intend to offer.
On page 32, there is an inaccurate cross-reference. The first sentence of paragraph 3.78, which refers to paragraph 3.76, should in fact refer to paragraph 3.77.

Simona am I right in thinking I can just copy,paste and stick onto original copy then instead of wasting so much ink? Keeping it looking professional and neat of course.

Whatever you feel comfortable and confident in doing!...I won't be reprinting mine
My EYFS is all scribbled on, with references and arrows and all sorts...it is a live and working doc...and ever changing and that is the one I will use at inspection...warts and all

Think mine would, so would be kept well away from any inspector ;-)

Who shall win on judgement day? The inspector's interpretation or mine?
Wouldn't they just? Ofsted thrive on "interpretation" - to the extent where they'd "interpreted" EYFS into a very different document from the one written by DofE.
eg. Ofsted Lacky: "hey - this bit on prescribed medicines doesn't say what we want it to. Shall we ask DofE what they meant?"
Osted Lacky's Supervisor: "Naah, don't bother. We can just redefine the word 'prescribed' then phone the editing committee of the Oxford English Dictionary to inform them of the change."
Btw, those of us with deeply-held rational beliefs don't believe in Judgement Day (well, apart from Terminator 2......).
That said, I do have Ofsted on my list for "first against the wall when the Revolution comes"...............................

So very sorry ...but I have never heard of Terminator 2
I have , however, met 5 inspectors since 2001 ...they were all rational inspectors with fair judgement skills....so look forward to meeting the next one soon I hope

In fact I now need to go and watch. But not number 3 its rubbish. Number 4 wasn't too bad
When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

Obviously an oversight in this one
Hope the man from the DfE talks to the man from Ofsted as the latter has another wave of changes in mind....judging from what I have read yesterday...2015 here we come!
But we are ready aren't we?
Hope cms have found the latest clarifications not to difficult to spot and implement
Good luck everyone

First mini reshuffle has been announced by the DfE in the shape of a new OFSTED Chair being appointed ....what difference will he make??

Not sure if the question was for me...sorry I just spotted it
Not really a great deal to learn except that there will be many more changes including to the EYFS....my view of course...judging from what the media is reporting about Ofsted and its future intentions
