Hi, evidence can come from within your own setting.

Page 35 of talkingpoints learner materials will help examine what your setting provides.

Communication friendly spaces & enabling environments show how areas can be set up to actively support children's communication.

Factors from the EYMP 5 unit

4.2 Key Factors may include:
o the physical environment: how is yours set up, where can children meet & greet, play alongside each other or as a group. Where does the light come from - windows, doors, how noisy is it, can children roam freely inside and out.
o staff roles and responsibilities: planning from children's interests, focussing on commincation, raising communication issues through meetings and looking at how best to support it. Learning words from children's first language, Makaton, or rhyme in other languages.
o training needs and opportunities: what is available locally and further afield, SLT workshops, short courses, new resource ideas that aim to assist children's communication.
o views of the child: getting to know individual children's interests & ideas and empowering them to take the lead with how they communicate through play, with peers and adults.
o appropriate involvement of carers: building on the connection between setting and home to support children's communication. How parents let you know about the speech, language, communication development of their child and how you share the same information -- diary books, providing rhymes & lyrics used in the setting.

You can call on your policies, procedures, operational plan, ofsted report, sef, training diary, resource purchasing, welcome pack publications to help source evidence.

I hope this helps a little xx
