    It is good practice to do them for all children within the Eyfs.

    Having said that there are no absolute rules to say what to do so it is up to you.

    I do the same as Noodles

    Each of my mindees has a day book whatever age they are. I feel it's a way of proving I communicate with parents and vice versa. Whether they read them or not is a different matter!

    I agree, it's good practice to use one whatever age the child is and it is evidence that you have good communication with the parents.
