I had a lovely lady come from NCMA - it was a nice afternoon and we sat in the garden. She watched how I interacted with the children and made loads of notes about what we said and did together.
I had a planting activity planned for the afternoon and decided not to do anything special, just keep it to what the children were expecting to do... so we planted up their little pots, went through the house looking for places to put them which were in sunlight, played with measuring jugs etc and the soil, then added water to the soil. It was all stuff I normally do, so the children were totally happy with it all...
She stayed less than the hour she'd booked as she said she'd got enough information... and gave me loads of great feedback in a letter a few weeks later.
She wasn't here to see my file, just watching me with the children. The file went off to someone in London.
Good luck!
