Please would someone help me as im a new childminder and getting really confused!!
I was speaking to another childminder last night and she informed me that i have to also have a planning book to show ofsted, .
She suggested having a piece of paper with the planned activitity in the middle (ie flowers) and then have lines that go to all the 6 areas of learning, then under each area write down what we will do (ie creative development making paper flowers for their mums). Then on the next page have a few photos of the kids doing a few of these activites and then put in their next steps.
I do have a folder with activites in, but i didnt realise you had to have written proof of how you link it to the 6 areas of learning, Im now abit confused and just wondered what other people do to show ofsted how they plan.
thanks X
