Planning & Observation
Based on the Early Years Foundation Stage childminders are required to plan activities on a regular basis which I will detail monthly and record daily.
As part of the Early years foundation stage observations will be carried out on each child to show activities, development and any other relevant information which has happened during their stay with me this also gives parents the opportunity to see their childs progress and what their child has been doing throughout the day.
Below is a sample of my Yearly Planning.
