Early Years Foundation Stage
Early Years Foundation Stage
It is most important to have suitable hand washing facilities and tuition for young children. It's an important part of their physical development, particularly with regard to Health and Bodily Awareness.
The EYFS sets the standards for learning, development and care for children from birth to five.
A number of hygiene recommendations are made, including
"There should be at least one toilet and one hand basin for every ten children over the age of two."
Health and bodily awareness: "Create opportunities for moving towards independence, for example, have hand-washing facilities safely within reach, and support children in making healthy choices about the food they eat."
