Just had the call to say they're coming some time next week, I'm trying not to panic too much :panic:
Just wanted to check about planning, I don't do any planning at the moment as the children I look after are 16months and 20months and we just make it up as we go a long really. We do craft activities that I think they're in the mood for that day and let them choose the toys they play with.
I do a learning journal but don't write down the next steps, because I only have 2 children it's all in my head and I'm always thinking of activities that are best suited to their needs.
I know I should have been writing all this stuff down, if I start doing planning for next week it's going to be obvious that I'm just doing it for my inspection.
Do ofsted expect me to be doing planning for this age group or am I worrying unnecessarily that I'm going to get marked down for not doing it?
Like this week, we didn't do anything for St David's day or Book day cos they're too little to understand.
Also when you review or re-write risk assessments do you keep copies of the old ones or get rid of them?
