Continuous vs Enhanced Provision Posters

A clear, visual way to help your team (and even parents) understand the difference between continuous provision and enhanced provision.

Created by experienced EYFS teachers, these posters are designed to take the confusion out of planning and give you quick-reference guidance at a glance. They’re simple, practical, and rooted in the EYFS framework — ideal for building shared understanding across your setting.

• Clear definitions written in teacher-friendly language
• Examples of how each type of provision looks in practice
• Prompts to support planning and reflection with your team
• Printable format to display in classrooms, staffrooms, or planning folders

Why teachers love it:

• Cuts through the jargon and makes planning terminology easy to understand
• Helps align practice across your team so everyone is “speaking the same language”
• Useful for explaining provision approaches to SLT, governors, or parents
