Hi you might want to write about the following as this will cover Knowledge & PC's;

Write about your policies and procedures for assessing and observing children’s development.

Consider the following points:
•Why you observe,

•How often you observe,
•What you do after an observation,
•How you use the EYFS,
•Summative and formative assessments,
•Reliability of assessments,
•Baseline information,
•Participant/non-participant observer,
•Parental involvement,
•Environment,
•How observations and assessments are used in planning and reviewing/improving provision.
•Explain what safeguards need to be followed before and when observing a child,
•Explain what information needs to be recorded when observing and assessing a child’s development.
•Explain where observations and children’s development information is stored along with who this is shared with. Consider policies of the setting and data protection/confidentiality.

Explain the role of other professionals in observing and assessing children development.

Explain when you would refer any concerns, should you have any following observing a child. Then, explain who you would refer any concerns to.

Also write about the EYFS:

Explain how the EYFS is used in your setting in everyday routines – include briefly stating how each of the 5 Welfare Requirements are followed/met in your setting.

Explain your role and responsibility in planning, implementing and reviewing the early year’s curriculum.

Explain the role of other professionals in planning, implementing and reviewing the early year’s curriculum.
What does EYFS mean?
When was the EYFS introduced?
What does this replace?
What replaces OFSTED’s 14 national standards?
Explain the four themes:
Name the six areas of learning
What are the age categories within the EYFS?
How are practitioners required to plan for children when following the EYFS?
Can you name the principles relating to the theme’s?
How many commitments follow each principle?
Can you name each colour relating to the correct theme?

This will cover the majority if you write about this relating to your theme.

Hope this helps :)
