Information for Parents and Carers

The Derbyshire Early Years SEN team have devised the Celebratory Checkpoints. These are for use with young children who have significant barriers to learning. The Celebratory Checkpoints allow the progress of all children to be celebrated.

Your child's setting may be using the Celebratory Checkpoints to help them track your child's progress. They allow closer tracking than the checkpoints in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This means that smaller steps of progress are recognised and celebrated.

Information for EY Practitioners

The guidance for use document found in the 'Related Documents' section of this page gives detailed information. Using the 'EYFS Celebratory Checkpoints' will support you at a targeted level of graduated response to children's needs. Training is available regularly on:

  • how to use the Celebratory Checkpoints with children
  • using Celebratory Checkpoints to support applications for Early Years Inclusion Fund (EYIF)
  • using Celebratory Checkpoints in service referrals

Book on to training via the Derbyshire EYSEN Service Eventbrite page, or through Derbyshire Services4Schools.
