With the new changes to the EYFS, I was struggling a bit to unpick some of the terms and what they all mean. I found I was already doing some of these processes, the course allowed me to put everything into prospective, and gave me better understanding. I feel confident now in completing the check and I believe I will do this effortlessly. A great course! Progress Check Virtual Course Delegate
