Early Years Developmental Journal
Early Support’s new Early Years Developmental Journal is now available.

The Journal helps families and practitioners working with them to celebrate, record and support children’s early development and to identify areas where extra help may be needed. It is for anyone wishing to better understand, follow and support a child’s development, as well as the specific use for disabled children and those with additional needs. It is designed to support a key working approach and foster communication among all those involved in a child’s development.

While the Journal’s primary use is for families, it is also intended as a useful resource for the 24-30 month statutory early years progress assessment as well as supporting child health monitoring. It is closely linked with Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage and with the Personal Child Health Record.

The Early Years Developmental Journal is based on extensive analysis of a wide range of developmental assessment tools and experience with the generic Developmental Journal that it replaces.

The Journal has been developed by a team of specialists in child development, early years, and childhood disability and special needs, led by John Oates, with Silvana Mengoni, of the Child and Youth Studies Group in the Centre for Research in Education and Educational Technology at The Open University, Milton Keynes. For further information: Developmental-Journal@open.ac.uk or earlysupport@ncb.org.uk .

The Journal is available as a free pdf download from the Early Support website:

Thank you...I've looked at these a while ago and pondered over if they would be worth using within my setting.
Will save the link

John Oates presented this at the pacey London event a few months ago

I posted it somewhere in this forum...but cannot remember exactly where.

What I like about this is that you can integrated the 2 year old progress check in it which gave me the idea to do one journal and include that progress in it...saves on duplication and works well for me
