    Thankyou, I used to use Sics as part of our self evaluation in our Nursery and Reception - I didn't think to use it in my setting now- the EY Educational advisors from our LA loved it and often used this or similar when they came into the setting.

    This link takes you to the forms - the one in the Blog links to the manual but no forms.
    It is easy to use and I am sure will be great evidence towards self evaluation.

    Enabling environments: what do they REALLY look like?
    Many thanks for sharing!
    I do like to have guest bloggers - they often provide a new perspective.
    If anyone would like to share good practice about childminding or do a blog to go on the site, please do contact me via the site.

    All the best

    Kathy

    Love this idea, it is easy to understand and follow (apart from p8, what does bt stand for next to inv?), are we allowed to use this, not sure if we have to follow what our LA gave us which wasn't much. Please tell me we can use what ever works best for us as long as we do obs, ass, planning etc.

    Thanks for the link.
