The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum states:
'All planning starts with observing children in order to understand and consider their current interests, development and learning'.
We implement the EYFS by:
Making systematic observations and assessment of each child’s achievements, interests and learning styles.
We then use these observations and assessments to identify learning priorities and plan relevant and motivating learning experiences for each child. We use their observations to the expectations of the early learning goals. We use the EYFS to support our work.
We will make regular observations on your child, using different mediums, for example, tick lists and tracker books, photographs, written observations & mental observations. You are welcome to see copies of any of the observations at anytime. All observations are made for personal use and will remain confidential.
We request each parent to sign a form giving us permission to carry out and record observations on their child.
If you have any concerns regarding the content of this policy please do discuss them with us.
