Baseline assessment through observation

I am feeling a little overwhelmed by trying to get any of baseline assessment for my new reception cohort. I have pre-school records for just over half of them. They do all have some form of assessment about which age-band they are in. I will obviously use these although I confess to being sceptical about those records from one place - all 6 children are apparently meeting or exceeding the ELG in the prime areas and yet the written notes say things like 'X didn't spend much time at nursery due to having huge tantrums' for me - that isn't 'expected for Managing feelings and behaviour' so I'll be looking at those particularly ones more closely. However, my question - I really want to get a baseline through observations/play and I think I'm setting out resources which should enable this but it's not working; especially not for the more able. I know I'm spending too much time with my Y1s (think I'm just going to have to abandon them this week and pray Ofsted don't turn up) but even so I'm feeling stuck trying to look at so many areas for so many children. I'm especially stuck for anything to do with writing. Any suggestions/ideas/encouragement? I am very anxious about getting it wrong when I know that in 9 months time we'll be looking at their EYFSP and how much progress they made and I don't want to under or overestimate where they are.
