The distinct section on Technology has been removed from the new Early Years framework on the understanding that children now have very high levels of access to ICT such as phones and tablets. ICT is understood as a way that children may record and develop their play and thinking switching fluidly between first hand and on-screen experiences

In EY children are provide ICT opportunities to support the 2020 development matters guidance and work closely with parents to understand the ICT opportunities children have at home.

Opportunities will support and enhance Development Matters guidance such as; ‘Fine Motor Skills - Begin to show accuracy and care when drawing’ - Children may move fluidly between using traditional pencil and digital tools to draw and make marks.
