can anyone help, I'm doing my first SEF but a lot of the questions relate to situations where i might have been looking after children for a while I think, so do they expect me to answer all the questions, Im confused!!

For example things like how well the children make friends respect each other
and tollerate differences!!

If i have only got a baby and only just started how can you fill the form in properly?:(

Hunt out the principles into practice cards that came with your Eyfs pack.

You will find lots of good ideas on them for answering quite a few of the questions.

The rest can come from your own knowledge of child development and good practice.

Hth :D

So is it ok to say what I will do rather than what I do do!!!

absolutely!

Say what you know... say how good you are... say how good you are going to be.

If you don't blow your own trumpet nobody else will! :D

Yes its hard isn't it. My friend who has been childminding a long time said its best to do it now tho in case ofsted say they are coming, then we wont have any time to do it, it does take quite a while to complete.
Have been doing it slowly!!
