What changed

The EYFS changed again on 1 September 2026

Are your forms out of date?

If your paperwork still mentions the 2025 framework, it no longer matches what inspectors check. This kit is written for the new one.

Safer sleep

Clearer rules in the main framework, with checks on sleeping children recorded.

Allegations of harm

You must now report allegations of any harm to Ofsted or your agency, not only serious harm.

DBS checks and suitability

Enhanced checks now cover volunteers too, and new assistants cannot start until checks are back.

Pets and screens

No childcare where a banned dog breed is kept, and a policy on screen use.

Questions

Good to know

Is the kit up to date?

Yes. Every form and policy was checked against the EYFS statutory framework for childminders that came into force on 1 September 2026.

Can I edit the forms?

The forms are printable PDFs that you fill in by hand. The 18 policies in the Full Bundle come as a Word document, so you can add your own details.

How do I get my files?

Straight after payment you get a download link by email. Print as many copies as you need, for every child, for as long as you childmind.

Is it for childminders in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland?

No. The kit follows the EYFS, which applies to registered childminders in England.

I'm registered with a childminder agency. Will it work for me?

Yes. The forms follow the same EYFS framework. Where a form mentions Ofsted, use your agency’s details instead.

Is this legal advice?

No. The kit helps you keep good records. It does not replace the EYFS framework, your local authority’s guidance or your own judgement.

Rather do it on your phone?

NurseryLoop keeps registers, accidents, medicines, daily diaries and invoices in one app, dated and timed as you go. Founding childminders get their first year free.
