Ok, so since the EYFS came into being I really haven't had anyone of the age to be in it, youngest left 2 years ago and I just did basic obs on him and kept a daily diary where I wrote everything up. I have had lots of advice from Blaze on here and have bought some of Sarah's e-books, done loads of reading on the forum and my EYFS pack, my problem is this, I am starting shortly to care for my 5 month old grandson, now I don't think I have to do obs/LJ with him, but I would like to, as I think it will be nice for him to have when he gets older, plus I have my inspection March/April time and I have no other children in the EYFS so think it will help there too, but whaat do I need to do when he first starts to get it kicked off, I already know him quite well :laughing: so think I can get straight into it, do I need to do one of those assessment type things to start with so I know where he's at developmentally or do I just dive straight in with obs? If I do need to do the assessment thingy anyone any ideas where I can find such a thing? :blush: I feel terrible asking all this after almost 17 years of minding, but I just don't have any littlies. :(
