EXPLANATORY NOTE  (This note is not part of the Regulations)  © Crown copyright 2020  Printed and published in the UK by The Stationery Office Limited under the authority and superintendence of Jeff James,  Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office and Queen’s Printer of Acts of Parliament.  ( a ) https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/  596629/EYFS_STATUTORY_FRAMEWORK_2017.pdf.  5 These Regulations make amendments to the Early Years Foundation Stage (Learning and  Development Requirements) Order 2007 (“the 2007 Order”) and the Early Years Foundation  Stage (Welfare Requirements) Regulations 2012 (“the 2012 Regulations”) which modify and  disapply certain requirements imposed under the 2007 Order and the 2012 Regulations. The  amendments are being made in order to assist the early years’ sector during the coronavirus  outbreak. There is a duty on the Secretary of State to keep the operation of the amendments under  review.  Part 1 contains general provisions.  Part 2 modifies and disapplies provisions in the 2007 Order relating to the learning and  development requirements in Sections 1 and 2 of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years  Foundation Stage (“the Framework Document”) published by the Secretary of State for Education  on 3rd March 2017 on the gov.uk website( a ).  Section 1 of the Framework Document is modified until 25th September 2020 so that the learning  and development requirements are to be treated as discharged if a provider uses its reasonable  endeavours to discharge the requirement.  In Section 2 of the Framework Document the legal requirement to undertake progress checks at  age 2 are removed until 25th September 2020 and the requirement to complete assessments at the  end of the Early Years Foundation Stage (the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile) for the  academic year 2019-20 is disapplied.  Regulation 6 makes similar provision for childminder agencies (in respect of the learning and  development requirements) in respect of the exercise of their functions in relation to a childcare  provider subject to a temporary closure order under the Coronavirus Act 2020, as is made in that  Act in relation to the Chief Inspector.  Part 3 modifies and disapplies provisions in the 2012 Regulations. Section 3 of the Framework  Document is modified in relation to certain welfare requirements, in particular staff qualifications,  training, support and skills. The modifications apply until 25th September 2020 subject to savings  for providers who are relying on the modifications at the end of that period and who meet certain  requirements who have until 25th November 2020 to comply with the unamended regulations.  Regulation 9 makes similar provision as that in regulation 6 but in respect of the welfare  requirements.  An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact  on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.  An Explanatory Memorandum is published alongside this instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
