I've been minding (this time round) for a year now and have just got my head around observations (I think).With the help of Sarah 007 of course :)
I've 2 mindees at the moment and have their observations in their Learning Journeys.Is that the right place to keep them? I understand they will then leave with them.I have one mindee going in July.
What I haven't been doing is group observations though.Should I be doing specific group observations? I have done observations on mindees when they've been playing together but made them mindee specific.Does that make sense?????????
Should I have an observation folder seperate to their learning journeys? to show Ofsted or will they just look at current mindee LJ's?
I feel I'm constantly questioning the work I do and whether it's right or not.Wish I had someone to come out and tell me.
Would this be something my development worker would do if I rang and asked her? I haven't seen her in the year I've minded.Not sure what her role is.
