Accreditation?
Is anyone else here accredited to pull down nursery funding for delivering early learning curriculum?
I didn;t want to do it before because, under Foundation Stage curriculum, if you were accredited but did not have any children enrolled, then you couldn't receive any higher that a Satisfactory on your overall OFSTED.
But as that is changing under EYFS (because everyone is supposed to be planning and observing then) and because I have a mother who took her child out of nursery and sent him to me and wants me to provide his nursery education, I am now in the process of becoming accredited.
I'm still winding my way through the learning process, trying to make sure I'm doing it right. I've implemented medium-term planning and short-term planning and obs but have yet to do long-term planning. I am going to do that for the next term. I think long-term planning may become obsolete as it is nearly impossible to follow a plan written months in advance when you are supposed to be planning to meet the child's developing interests and skills. Even my 6 week medium-term planning went right out the window once I started observing and planning based on what the child was actually doing.
I guess it's good to have a future vision and be aware of upcoming festivals and celebrations and such. And also to make sure you are covering all areas of the learning goals, too.
Just interested to know if anyone else is doing it?
Why is "phonics" not spelled the way it sounds?
