Hi
I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice, as I'm slightly confused! :(
I'm newly registered - so not yet had my first Ofsted inspection, however have met with my Development Worker.
I have 3 children registered with me - age 4 (but at school so counted as age 5) age 8 and age 10. All are part time (4 and 8 before and after school mon & tue, age 10 as and when required just after school).
I'm aware that I would need to do a learning journey journel for any younger mindees that I take on - i.e 0-4 to show that I am implementing EYFS, but I'm not sure if I should also be doing this for older, part time children?
Also what about daily diaries? Do I have to do these for older, part time children too?
Development worker said I should maybe 'practise' doing a learning journey for my youngest mindee (age 4) but I'm not sure if this would just be a waste of time if I don't actually have to do one..... I'm not lazy - just unsure whats expected of me!
I hope my question does not seem stupid, I'm a bit embarrassed as I feel that I should maybe know this already!
Any help/advise would be greatly received as I really don't want Ofsted to visit and I don't have the correct paperwork/records in place relating to this :panic:
Thanks....
