How does everybody record theirs? We did have a session evaluation book at the setting plus staff meeting minutes plus an action plan on my laptop plus parent feedback etc etc but at our last ofsted they commented that I need to collate it all together into one document, so............ has anyone found a simple, non time consuming format that works for them? I was thinking just creating a table with date change made reason for change outcome of change is that enough?
