Introducing Caring for Children and Young People

R Further Research: Development charts

Children’s development follows a pattern or sequence.
Charts are a useful way to show this sequence and the stages
of development. Adults working with children use development
charts to help them understand what stage children are at and
what is the next expected development stage. These charts
are used by professionals working with children in health and
children’s services.

They are also used to create frameworks for practitioners working
with children aged from birth to five. In England, this framework is
called the Early Years Foundation Stage. If you work with children,
you might want to find out more about this framework. You will
find more information on the Foundation Years website:

In the article linked to above, there is a link to the Early Years
Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. Follow that link to find out
