Well I got my certificate on Tuesday. I picked up from school my first 3 mindees on Wednesday, had my 1st day off yesterday! And I'm picking them up again today.
Monday I pick up 2 more new ones so that's 5!!!!!!
I've got one more that want's a full day on a Tuesday, and another that wants Mondays and Tuesdays. But would only be able to have that one till about 2.30 pm as it would clash with my other under five that I pick up at 3pm.

My school holiday is nearly full, not sure how many more I could take as only just starting out. I have got places but it's the thought of having so many.

Just one question though...do I have to do obs on the children between 5 and 8?
And do you base your planning on the eyfs or the everychild matters outcomes?
I was going to do planning on the outcomes icluding some eyfs and do obs on the eyfs.
Does that sound ok?

Congratulations! :clapping:

You do Eyfs - obs, assessments and planning - on children up to the start of year 1 at school.

It's officially the end of August before they start Year 1 but I find that way easier to remember :laughing:

After then they are out of the Eyfs age group :D
