AnonyMouse_41935 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Any advice will be gratefully received. When a new child joins the setting ( full time nursery) and the parent has completed the starting points achieved at home how do other settings evaluate this to be able to link in with their work.

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 We tie it to our baseline information and know the starting points to build on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_33773 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 We do it the other way around, starting with the information we get from observing and engaging with the child and asking parents about the areas we are unable to cover, e.g. in the case the child doesn't speak English or don't do certain things we think they may be able to do because they're not fully settled.

AnonyMouse_55063 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 We give the parents this (usually the section appropriate for there age or around) http://www.foundationyears.org.uk/files/2015/03/4Children_ParentsGuide_2015_WEB.pdf As well as "about me" information to see what they like to do at home etc Interests.. Then when this child starts we can complete the child's baseline over a 6 week period approx.. and do a little observing in each area of learning to "double check" or to add on. Obviously children usually behave differently in a new environment, so once they are happy and joining in more, we have a good picture of this child and can then start to plan for next steps.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_55063 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yes it is an amazing publication.. and gives parents a great understanding of the EYFS and how we, has childcare providers are trying to meet these "goals" for their children, and hopefully, it open's up that vital communication from parents or carers from the start.
