All childminders have their own ways of noting how the children in their care are making good progress.

Written observations are required by the EYFS 2012 - so are individualised activities to ensure you are meeting the children's needs.

If you do not write your planning down, you must be able to explain your current learning intentions across all areas of learning for each EYFS child's clearly to an Ofsted inspector during your inspection.

You can find help with preparing a folder of evidence here -

If you want to write play plans for children you will find some useful information here -

Please share good practice ideas about how you write your Learning Journeys... and any links to useful sources of free information.

Thank you
