Hello, I approached my new mindee's nursery with regards to EYFS yesterday. I suggested a diary where we can communicate what we have been up to and shes going to organise this ready for pick up at 3.
I look after him 3.10pm-6.30pm so he is basically like one of my after schoolers. I usually get them back they free play whilst i prepare tea which is on the table for 4.30 they usually take a whole hour to eat so that's 5.30pm i clear up and by that time its normally getting on for 6pm. I do always make an effort to sit with him in the last half hour but its of course its getting late by then for a 3 (almost 4 year old) and its only half hour. I usually colour with him or read him a story.
So the thing is I suddenly feel very shy and quite out of my depth as to what to write in this diary!!! Do I just write what I did in the last half hour??? Of course I will write any obs down but other than that is it a bit like a parent diary or do I need to write planning down (which I wasn't planning on doing much of due to the hours his here?)
