Observing provision

[Care-Worker]

Unit 3.14 Outcome 4

Observe in line with current frameworks:
• An individual child
• A group of children
• Indoor provision
• Outdoor provision

Reflect on outcomes of observations carried out in own setting in relation to:

• An individual child
• A group of children
• Indoor provision
• Outdoor provision


I really don't know what I'm being asked to do here. I've apparently done an individual child. Regarding the 'group of children' I've done an observation of a group of children playing inside and have discussed how they found the activity and linked all the behaviours to areas of the EYFS.

But the indoor and outdoor provision? Is she expecting an inside and outside observation? Am I being asked what they like best inside and outside? Am I giving a summary of what we have available inside or outside? It's so vague and she just changes the subject when I ask. Surely if I'm just discussing general provision inside and outside I don't need a lengthy activity and observation with pages of EYFS characteristics about the activity.

Has anyone done this? I'm confused.
