Hi all I know there have been many threads around learning journey's but I am a little confused about what should be in mine now. We changed ours and have received nothing but praise for them we considered them one of our strengths. Now I have had a comment about them (long story) which has made me think we made need to change them all over again. In addition I do have staff that struggle with work load so although they meet their deadlines anything that made them simpler would be welcomed. what do people put in their journey's and how often and how much?

I run a Pre-school and this year in particular I have noticed two of my children writing their names from right to left. I wouldn't be too worried, but these are children who used to be able to write their names from left to right. Has anyone else experienced this?

Would love some advice on how you ensure that there is a balance of adult led and child led activities available to the children. How do people plan for both these opportunities.

I work within a small chain of day nurseries. Recently one of the settings had Ofsted in and it was highlighted that there although a care plan is written for each child upon them starting within the nursery there is no document used to assess the child's stage of development.

do you expect children to be able to consistently get 2 from a larger group to achieve this? looking at new rising 3's with key worker, and we disagree!! looking in document not helping! few are secure in all of rest of band and emerging in next band, except for this. and it's 22-36 months so wonder what is meant - blue part.
