Early Years Policy Development Board Key Insights

Socio- economic Educational

• utcomes

Child Development Capacity and demand

• Distribution of children at risk from disadvantage higher

in the Foundation Stage (33%) This could be due to the criteria applied for priority places in nursery (income support, JP and specific need)

• The highest proportion of JP pupils are found in primary

schools in the town and outskirts (998 61% of the JP population)

• Potentially unmet need where JP is not available in the

private sector (It is not know how many children this might apply to)

Early Years Key Insights - Overview

• 57% of children in reception achieve expected or

above in ALL 17 Early Learning Goals

• The specific early learning goals with the lowest

percentage of children achieving the required standard are Writing (66%), Reading (74%) and Numbers (75%)

• JP pupils are less likely to achieve in ALL Early

Learning Goals (38% compared with 62% non-JP)

• Majority of children in each cohort are placed in

school nurseries

• The number of children in private settings has

dropped year on year as spaces in school nurseries increase

• More children access free additional hours in school

nurseries than paid

• Town nurseries are in high demand and offer some

families a more affordable solution

• 84% of children assessed by ‘Ages and Stages’ at 2yr

in 2107 were developing normally in the 5 domains. A communication deficit appears to be the main contributor to children not reaching their milestones

• verall.
• 7% of 0-5yr olds are accessing SALT
• Best Start Plus (JCCT) provides nursery places for 2-3
• yr. olds with developmental delay (47 children)
• Strong language skills are a determinant of progress

through education

Child Development Insight

Health visitor data for service levels: The Health Visiting service has 4 geographical areas and 4 levels of service delivery. Current UNIVERSAL HV service numbers (0-5) are as follows:

• EAST (St Saviour, St Martin, Grouville, St Clement) 1557 children
• WEST (St Lawrence, St Mary, St Ouen, St Peter, St Brelade) 1198

children

• NORTH (town 1179 children)
• SOUTH (town 1145 children) Divided horizontally through the middle
• f St Helier

Health Visiting

Two Year Development Check 2017

• 86% coverage for two year check. The remaining 14% were not considered safeguarding concerns.
• Some non-attenders were already attending the Child Development Centre where a number of

professionals already had contact with children and assessed development independently.

• A high proportion of children did not reach all domains due to low communications scores.

Educational Insight

• The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets standards for the learning,

development and care of children from birth to five years old and forms the basis

• f the curriculum in the foundation stage of primary school: Nursery and

Reception

• Research shows that children who access a high quality early learning

experience, and achieve or exceed expected development levels at the end of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), are likely to achieve better results at the end of both primary and secondary school.

• The Early Learning Goals (ELG) are divided into three prime areas of

development and four specific areas of learning.

• The three prime areas of development consisting of:

Communication and language, Physical development, and Personal, social and emotional development.

• The specific areas of learning are literacy, mathematics, understanding the

world and expressive arts and design

• In 2018, 57% of Reception children met or exceeded all early learning goals

compared with 46% in 2017. Children are doing well in the three prime areas of

• learning. Although England is at 70.2% compared to 57% in Jersey, the UK's

starting point was 48.9% in 2013, when they first started to collect this data.
