HI all can you all shed some insight on how on earth you assess your children, im in pre-school most days we have 13 children and two staff, i want to find a way to make sure that i am meeting each child's needs everyday. so rather than planning broadly just to meet the FS i want to find a way to show that i am planning for the children as individuals Bar providing individualised activity plans daily (which would be far too time consuming and just not practical (at least i don't think it would be)) i am not sure how to show where each child is at in terms of the FS and their learning/needs and their own individuality. I know i posted a similar post the other d…

Hi Is it only me that finds planning to be somewhat inflexible, too structured and time consuming? ~ i work in a pre-school room (in a private day nursery), we come under Cheshires LEA. I find that our plans although linked to aspects of the foundation stage (all 6 areas covered in a week) do not really pertain to the children's interests.

We are a day nursery most of our children come in either am or pm sessions rather than all day care. How many focus activites do you do each week? How do you cover FS and BTTM goals during these activities ie focus on one area of learning oror all areas on each focus activity? I am trying to get staff to change from planning around the topic to planning for the individal children- just cant get it HELP? Does anyone have samples of focus activity sheets and or a completed one where I can see how it is working for you? Is the focus activity planning for a specific group of children? as my staff are planning for the topic and just recording what chilren …

Observation Folders
by Guest- 14 replies

We are reviewing where we store our children's folders containing their observations, as a nursery close to us, after inspection has been told that they can not be accessable by the parents without a member of staff being present. We have conflicting opinions from staff about this as in other settings that they have worked in, observation folders have being freely available to the parents. If folders are kept in the children's trays is this a breach of confidentiality? If parents sign to say that they are happy with their children's observations being in their tray (where possibly other parents can read them if they want) would this make it ok? Which appre…
