To go with the other thread about the OFSTED annual report, this was also published today, about school readiness. http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/resources/are-you-ready-good-practice-school-readiness The 'tone' of the two documents actually seem different to me. But it may answer some questions about what OFSTED9and others ) perceive school readiness to be. Happy further reading. Gosh my kindle is going to be busy this evening

Hot off the press, this was published today, along with the feedback from the consultation last autumn. Haven't read all of it yet, but as we thought, the EYFSP will become optional from 2016 and be replaced by a baseline assessment at the start of the reception year. Happy reading! https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/new-national-curriculum-primary-assessment-and-accountability

via DfE on facebook... "The number of childminders has almost halved over the last 20 years. Plans unveiled today aim to cut the red tape burden from childminders who look after children in their homes and give them the support, training and advice they need to deliver a high-quality service for parents. Today we announce a freeze on the fees childminders pay to Ofsted for the fifth year in a row, keeping them at a low £35 per year. Childminder agencies are also being introduced to boost the number of people joining the profession - giving parents more choice and flexibility to meet their childcare needs.

"Office hours and school days dont match and a guarantee of wrap around childcare would make an immeasurable difference for working families right across the country. Ofsted therefore should begin to recognise the extended day as part of their assessment of schools. " This is a quote from Nursery World on the new changes to Eyfs in April 2014. So are we, in schools , now to get lower judgements if we don't offer an extended day? I don't think that's fair. I am also not particularly in favour of two year olds in my nursery class in school. I don't think it is necessarily the right environment. So am I going to be at a disadvantage if I recommend to my head teacher tha…
