All my pre-school children have daily diaries. There are usually up to 8 children here after school everyday and it isn't fair on anyone if I stop to have a chat with parents. Yes they get a quick handover but everything else goes in the diary. I have only ever had them forgotten on a couple of days since I started minding. But I use sheets that stick in an A5 book so I still fill the sheets in and then stick them in the book the next day.
