we've had a couple of free taster sessions and 2 days proper training -free- available in April. Most of the settings[childminder/preschool] are already using it but we are wondering about the stepping stones and what or whether they are being replaced. Our local county council has produced "personal pathways" for settings to use for each child if wished which they have just lifted from the learning and development pages and we are are supposed to fill in evidence of what the child achieves next to the the relevent photo and statement however we feel that some parents may be upset by this especially if for example their child has a delay/special need and their developmental level is lower than their actual age so we are trying to work out ways to alter this so its more like the stepping stones. We had the same problem with B23 when they used the images of babies toddlers etc next to their "age groupings" what does everyone else think and any ideas for changing it? Thanksx
