Kitewren / About

Making the EYFS practical for everyday planning.

Kitewren helps early-years practitioners bring the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) into the everyday work of planning. Its Notice, Respond, Evidence approach connects what children show you with practical next steps and a useful thread of evidence.

A practical rhythm

Less paperwork. More professional thinking.

Kitewren turns EYFS language into a shared rhythm teams can use and make their own.

  1. 01

    Notice

    Start with what children are showing you, rather than a blank planning grid.

  2. 02

    Respond

    Choose a practical next step that keeps the EYFS visible in the room.

  3. 03

    Evidence

    Keep the useful thread for your team, families, and inspection conversations.

The offer

England-focused EYFS resources and planning materials.

The Kitewren digital resource library brings together planning prompts, invitations to play, staff guidance, and evidence cues. The materials are designed to help teams move from framework language to everyday practice.

For early-years practice

  • Weekly planning prompts
  • Invitations to play that make learning observable
  • Staff guidance for shared team language
  • Evidence cues for inspection conversations
