EYFS - have your say!

Good luck with your training - don't forget to give us all some feedback please!

Been reading some great comments!

I am totally confused about it all! As a newly registered c/m I haven't a clue what I should be doing. Couldn't get hold of a Birth to Three pack- I rang up and asked but they sent EYFS instead.
I went to a 2hr EYFS course on Saturday only to be told that the trainers don't know what to tell us as Ofsted won't know until March. So I'm thinking why are we all sitting here wasting our weekend.
Still confused, I rang Ofsted this morning, the chap confirmed that they are still waiting for government guidelines but he did say that the medication bit would change, so we can give whatever we have permission for.
My main worry was as I will be due my first inspection before September, would I be marked down for using EYFS instead of the other stuff and he said no, but I will be judged against BTT. So I don't think that helps me at all really!
Sorry to witter on, just having a moan really, but it's all so frustrating!!!!

You are absolutely right Nikki, it is totally frustrating for anyone registering or having an inspection between now and September...

You will be inspected on Birth to 3 so you must show planning etc for birth to 3...you can get the pack online - link pinned to the top of the birth to 3 thread.

The problem is, as you have said, inspectors haven't been trained on eyfs yet and there are some revisions due (good news if the medications one happens!)

Have a look through the list of activities angel has posted for birth to 3 and get some ideas from there - it is all good stuff and will be relevant under eyfs so you're not wasting your time!
