Observing Your Child
Observing your child allows us to gain and understanding, and have a focus, to plan and assess for your child in a purposeful manner, promoting development and meeting their individual needs.
For the under fives we work with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which is based around four themes
- A Unique Child
- Positive Relationships
- Enabling Environments
- Learning and Development
Our observations cover the six areas of learning: Physical Development(PD), Creative Development (CD), Communication, Language and Literacy (CLL), Personal Social and Emotional (PSE), Problem Solving Reasoning and Numeracy (PSRN) Knowledge and Understanding of the World (KUW).
While meeting the five outcomes for Every Child Matters
- Staying Safe
- Being Healthy
- Enjoy and achieve
- Making a Positive Contribution
- Skills that contribute to future economic well-being
