Hi, this criteria combines your knowledge of;
- EYFS (if you work in England?)
- Development Matters guidance or another source that tells us about the expected patterns of children's development
- the plans in your setting and the way those plans come into existence to support the children in those age groups.
- The type of assessments and observations that are carried out in your setting.
The
required content will involve planning activities that support children's learning, care and development in the areas of physical development, personal, social, emotional, communication, language, literacy, maths, art, design and creative development, and their knowledge of the world (if you work in England and use the EYFS)
The next one is a 'discuss' criteria, is this something your assessor will go through with you when they next visit?
Discuss methods or formats used to develop plans that
• Provide purposeful play opportunities and education programmes for young children from birth – 5years
Consider how your setting organises the activities that go on in the setting.
Did planning them play a part? and how was that planning able to make sure children's development is supported?
Are the assessments and observations that the children's key-people make used to inform what goes on?
Does your setting use record keeping such as individual learning journeys to track and monitor a child's stage of development? Do you know if that helps to plan a variety of different activities that you hope will interst the children and support their development?
Do you know if the learning outcomes that are in the EYFS or EYFS profile ? (if you work in England) are used to plan activities?
Maybe your setting uses a reading or
phonics programme such as Jolly Phonics? A Yoga or dance programme maybe?
• Meet the requirements of the current early education curriculum
What framework does your setting use? If you work in England and in early years, the EYFS is the framework your setting must use and meet the requirements of. It contains three sections that makes sure children are included, cared for and have the opportunity to learn -
the framework
Your setting needs to make sure its plans meets those requirements. How does it meets 1.children's learning and development (by planning activities?), 2.makes assessments (observing children and development checks such as the Progress check at age 2 and EYFS profile for when they leave the Early Years stage?) and 3.safeguards them and their welfare? (identifying risks and supervision?)
