EYFS RECORDING BOOKS/SHEETS

[Chatterbox Childcare]

Hi

I have just about sorted my EYFS but how does everyone record how their children are doing individually?

On the Foundation Stage I was provided with a summary for each stepping stone and the Birth-3 I did my own. There seems to be tracker books around but they are very basic?

Any help welcomed.

The way to go is to use the eyfs learning and development grids for each child's age and stage.

Do your obs and relate them back to the grids. Then work out your next steps based on what you find.

Hope this helps a bit! Lots more advice around the forums :D

Hi
I have designed a form for observation all you have to do is either put a photo in or write in one box then highlight what area it covers then in the last box write how you will take the next the child to the next stage.

If you would like a copy let me know.

Dont forget that tracker books are great for guidance

But OFSTED do not like them because they are just like ticker sheets

Whats a tracker book :o

[sarah707]

Whats a tracker book :o

It is a book produced by a company making lots of money out of people worried about observations for eyfs.

It is like a tick list ...

Ofsted do not like them.

Hope this helps :D

Hi Shirl,
I wonder if you would be kind enough to send me a copy too. Sorry to be a pain! I'm already following the EYFS but sometimes when I'm reading threads on here i just wonder if I'm doing enough!
Thanks very much Shirl x

[donnahay0]

I am doing something similar to what Sarah had mentioned. I am using the development grids - have re-typed them into my own format with a column for date & a little observation note agains each one taken from observations done on the child. This way I can take the information from this sheet to do an assessmnt on the child to give to the parents. I have just done my first assessment & I think it went really well.

[Spangles]

Thank you so much Shirl, that's really, really brilliant!

[jellybaby]

hi shirl, thanks for your input, plessssse may i have a copy of your obs sheet, so i can look to see how you are writing it up. thanks so much! :clapping:

[hbomb1]

Hi Shirl,

Only just seen this thread, and I too would like a copy of your obs sheet. I am worried about EYFS and everything that is involved and starting to panic.

Thank you so much

Hi Shirl

Thanks

Not sure if it helps but i put all photos/obs/some peices of work in to an evidance book (scrap book) and i section off the dif areas. For example id have a few pages for each area of birth to three/foundation stage (PSE, Physical, Creative etc)...now changing to the 6 areas in EYFS(not much dif to the foundation stage) then put the photos etc in date order into the areas they come under. I can then glance at that and the areas in the EYFS to see where to go next. Most of the time though you know where to go next without having it written down/marked off but you just need away to show ofsted where you are coming from

I have for each child under 5 atm.

[EllieF]

Sounds simple and straightforward and does the job - great stuff !

Our local Early years team have put together learning diaries which they are selling for 50p each. I have sen one and am picking mine up tonight as they do look very good. I have been trying to get organised for my Ofsted inspection as im taking no chances on not being ready in the new house! What a nightmare though!
