Re: Not sure!
The scrap books you are doing sound like a cross between a learning journal and a daily diary to me. When you do the info about what the child is doing you could just insert an observation sheet which would make it more formal or just keep a separate file for the observations and file your next steps documents with them.
I do a daily diary which is a more chatty document showing what we have been doing - food the child has had etc. I use stickers to show how it covers the six areas rather than actually writing it down.
in a separate folder i have the next steps for the child and observations which i have done formally. The daily diary goes with the child at the end of the week and the other folder which i call a "record of achievement" stays with me until the child finishes being in EYFS. Parents are shown the file and we discuss things but it stays with me normally unless specifically requested by the parent to go home.
I'm not paranoid - the world IS out to get me!
