Ok - so I have been minding a little boy for just over a month who is 5 - nearly 6, so not in the EYFS. I do a little report for parents at the end of the first month and then planning to do a termly one. I don't know whether to reference any learning goals/development matters etc, which is what I do with my other mindees that are in reception.
I've looked at the EYFS with regard to wrap around care and it says to work to the EYFS, however I am feeling confused as he is surely out of the Development Matters now.
Any advice would be lovely. I have only been going for a couple of months so trying to get everything right from the off! I'd feel a bit embarrassed I think handing parents a big long report identifying the development matters areas that I have noted/think we need to make next steps on when they are no longer relevant! but also if I am still meant to be referencing them don't want to not do it when I should be IYSWIM?
I hope the above makes sense!
