You need to show you are meeting the Eyfs with the child but it will be a watered down version.

I would go with his routine... write it up, link it to the Eyfs, put it in his file.

The time in his routine dedicated to 'free play' or 'self chosen activities' or 'group activities planned by childminder' can be the bit that you concentrate BRIEF observations on.

Then if the child does or says anything about his likes / dislikes etc you can use that for his individual planning / next steps without too much paperwork.

Make up a learning journey and put the child in charge of choosing photos, putting in comments etc.

Show how you are working with parents, try and forge links with his school and you're done! :D

He is only 4 so you need to carry on until 31st August 2010
