EYFS planning for babies

[Paula J]

My parents are the same but thats not what OFSTED say I do diarys every day showing areas of development met often using childrens pictures or things they may have said and Sarah says do one main ob each week which is what I was planning and then do an extra one if they have done something special or new Paula

[michelle0]

an if i was to do the same would that be good enough to keep the unspectors happy?

[sarah707]

We have no idea what will keep the inspectors happy because they won't tell us...

I have printed my Learning journey booklets for each child depending on their age and stage of development...

Then I looked at the length of them... and seen from the ages on them that I have a year or more to fill them in...

So I worked out that if i do an ob and next steps a week (or so... not going to get hung up on this one if it's a quiet week then so be it), plus the wow moments, I will have plenty of evidence to show I am meeting the requirements of the eyfs for the child... and the booklets will be nice and chunky to go home to parents as memories of the child's time with me

[michelle0]

so can you tell me is it just the eyfs i work with an that is it do i not have to do anymore paperwork?

[sarah707]

That's right... just the eyfs... from 1st Sept it becomes law and it takes over from birth to 3, the 14 national standards and the foundation stage.

Is that what you mean?
