Afternoon all,
I know this topic has been bought up many times but its one area I am not so good on. Ofsted are due this yr and all my other areas are great and if Im aiming for an Outstanding I really need to get my head around this.
At the moment I pick up from 1 preschool 1 morning a week and its just a quick chat at the door telling me what shes done etc. They have a picture of myself stored in childs folder so they can recognise me and I sign any forms if she has hurt herself etc.
1 mindee goes to a nursery but I dont have any contact with them as she goes a full day.
At the moment I dont have any eyfs schoolies but will do from Sept. I know teachers are really busy with 30 kids. They know me so dont really have to introduce myself.
Over the next few weeks I was thinking of getting a book (like an small exercise school book) for the boy who's going to school and putting in a few brief pics and info about what hes done at mine over the past yr and how he's been getting ready for school. Front page could include a short bit of info about what days I will be picking him up (on weds my childminder Becky will be dropping me off and picking me up) and a signature from Mum to say its ok to share info.
I also thought about doing the same thing for the preschool and nurseries if needed.
Good idea or not? Too much or will just a letter be enough?
Im clueless as most teachers and nurseries are too busy to bother, but at least it shows Im trying:D
