Can I just say in an inspection it is not ok to have no proof you teach as inspectors do not believe words they do not listen to practitioners articulation of a child’s development and growth. This is a really important issue. Funding is removed and children’s family lives are turned upside down due to inspectors not grasping practioners depth of knowledge and practice. Childminders are with children not doing paperwork and are at the forefront of educating early years but that is not enough document document document. Starting points , next steps and write up how you scaffold and what you teach from scissor work, mark making to letter formation recognising letters, building body strength and confidence, all of it write it up coz inspectors have an answer they want and if you don’t guess the correct answer the kids and families lose out

Thank you so much for this informative video, it really helped me on my assignment. 🙂

Thank you for sharing this recording. I am supervising a PhD student in Adelaide, Australia at UniSA supporting multilingual learners in the early years incorporating family involvement. She will find this recording most interesting and informative as have I. I will forward the link to her. :-)

Thank you Di, an excellent training tool. Best wishes from the West Cumbria Branch.

🤦 Promo-SM.

It's interesting you focus on child led and spontaneous planning, not adults dictating the learning. Ofsted have said they want to see more quality teaching and adult led activities and learning. Feel a bit caught trying to keep a balance.

Thanks for this video. I think the word curriculum makes me and others feel that they've got to have a full years plan in writing to follow like schools do. Nice to hear that isn't the case

Brilliant Nancy!

Very adult-led practice!
