EYFS Cohort Tracker

The EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) Cohort Tracker is a tool commonly used in early years settings, such as nurseries or reception classes, to monitor and track the progress and development of a group of children.
“Cohort” refers to a group of children being observed, and the tracker provides a systematic way of recording their achievements across various EYFS areas of learning.
