Hi All,
I've had the call to say Ofsted are coming for my 1st inspection. I'm a bit confused over the levels of development and how to plan to help a child meet the next level. I'm ok with my observations (sort of) and I understand how to plan to help a child ie if a child has shown an interest in a certain toy then I can use that to create another activity or expand my resources. But how do I gauge where a child is at and then help them to progress to another level? Do I use the handbook for the EYFS where it lists the areas of development? Also how and where do I document it? Do I need to be doing something else other than my usual 2 obs a month and my photo learning journal/scrapbook? I know I am also supposed to be involving parents in this. I do get feed back when I do my obs. It comes across i need to documenting more. Please help.........Hope I've explained that well enough. Thank you everyone..... x
