Write about reflection in everything you do - be it practice, policy and procedure.

As you are carrying anything out, if you can think of a better way to benefit the children/nursery/parents , you've reflected, then you speak to your colleagues, try it, review/assess it and if it's sucessful, you implement it into your procedures and may add it into your policies.

Safety is a classic one we are always reflecting, to ensure we keep make children safe - i.e.
after the recent issues with Vanessa George, many settings reviewed their safety policies and procedures regarding mobile phones. Settings would then decide what they felt was appropriate for them - if they had many rooms, perhaps mobile phones were locked away, with their landline used for emergency staff telephone calls. Settings such as playgroups/pre-schools, operating from one room may decide to place all mobile phones in view of everyone.


As well as reflection keeping everything fresh and up-to-date/current (no playgroup has stood still for the last 40 years) it's vital to keep reflecting on your practice because 'one size does fit not all' - we have to cater for a child's individual needs.

Looking/reflecting any activty, you adapt or change for different children, you're reflecting/thinking constantly.
I think it's the word reflecting that makes you wonder what can you write about, when you are probably doing it, but 'filing' it in your brain under your own heading.

Reflection enables change, change does not have to be drastic, change often evolves gradually - if you think of an activity you have be doing over the years - try and think of all the small changes you may have made until it is what it is today - reflection - bit by bit to improve.

It could be something simple such as outdoor play - you had mud everywhere (safety and messy/staining), so you asked parents to send slippers in. It doesn't always have to be the children's learning - but the environment in which they learn/are in.
