What I do is the same as you where I do a daily diary for my child. I also do one to two observation of my child a month. I write what i have observed, write down what areas of development that i have covered also with photo evidence, then I write what I have learnt from the doservation then I plan an activity. I note down in the child's daily dairy what I have observed and what i will do next. This then gives parents opportuntity to feedback. I then put my next steps on a note in my folder, so then when I plan I have it clear in front of me what needs to go on my planning sheet.

For e.g If you observed your child in the sand exploring I would repeat this activity and then give opportunites to explore other textures like paint, cornflour etc. I then follow up my next steps with a photo to show that I have carried out my next steps activity.

Hope this is some help :)

Observation - child does something new

Assessment - wow she's a very clever child. That links to the Eyfs xxx

Next steps planning - support the child to do it again

....................................

Observation - mum says that child said a new word at home

Assessment - I have noticed child saying different sounds recently as well. This links to Eyfs xx

Next steps planning - read lots of books together to practice new words

Don't over think it.. it's stuff you do every day! You just need to get it on paper :D
