Advice needed please!! I have a new starter (first day today) Mum drops little one off at 7am and I take him and my own daughter to school for 9am. Mum wants to do this for 2-3 days a week, so he will be in my care for between 8 - 6 hours per week. Do I plan activites during this time, as 8-8.45am is breakfast, getting uniforms on and generally getting ready for school time?
Doing activities at 7am seems a little extreme, especially since he was quite tired this morning and just wanted to read a book quietly?? Shall I just plan simple activities like reading, or jigsaws etc. and try my best to link it to EYFS and produce a detailed Learning Story?:panic:
I did note some observations this morning but will Ofsted expect me to have a full on Learning Story with observations linked to EYFS, Next Step ideas, examples of arkwork etc or will they understand that it is an early morning placement and there is only so much I can do (can't even go outside as it's still dark before 8am lol!!)
Any advice would be welcome, especially if any other CMs are in or have been in this situation. Thanks, Kelly xxx
