Early Years Resources | Planning

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.

EYFS Cohort Tracker – A Clear, Comprehensive Tool for Monitoring Early Years Progress

Our EYFS Cohort Tracker is a user-friendly, data-driven tool designed to help Early Years practitioners effectively track, monitor, and analyse the progress and attainment of children across the EYFS curriculum. Aligned with the Statutory Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, this tracker provides a clear overview of each child’s development, while also offering valuable insights into group and whole-cohort trends.

Ideal for use in Nursery and Reception settings, the tracker supports accurate and consistent assessment across all seven areas of learning, helping you identify gaps, celebrate strengths, and plan next steps with confidence. Whether you’re preparing for moderation, leadership reviews, or parent meetings, this tracker gives you the evidence you need at your fingertips.

Key Features:

  • Tracks progress across all EYFS areas, including Prime and Specific Areas

  • Simple input fields for baseline, termly, and summative assessments

  • Automatically highlights children working at, above, or below typical development

  • Generates group data to support interventions and planning

  • Helps monitor attainment gaps, trends, and school improvement priorities

Why Educators Love It:

  • Saves time on paperwork and admin

  • Supports accurate, evidence-informed planning and reporting

  • Enhances team discussions and parental engagement

  • Fully adaptable to suit your setting’s assessment approach

Whether you’re leading a large EYFS team or managing a small setting, the EYFS Cohort Tracker gives you a clear picture of progress—so you can support every child to thrive.

This is a tracking document for a whole class, it includes an impact plan and action plans as well as the ELG goals.

Phonics Phase 1 planning

This is great we have printed it out and we use daily for the Nursery children for a short Phonics activity. It has saved me loads of time and is really well thought out and each activity is clearly explained so the staff know what to do. Each time they teach Phonics they are becoming more confident with presenting.
