Last night I went to a Childminders Exchange meeting with regards to the EYFS SEF and planning.

At the moment I do a yearly plan, monthly plan and individual weekly plan for each child. As well as doing daily diaries, observations and other photographs which I link up to the 6 areas of learning, that I keep in my works folder.

I spend a lot of time doing all of this as I thought it was what Ofsted want, but I was told I shouldnt be doing this??????

Can someone please tell me WTF I SHOULD be doing angry

I was told in one breath to do all this and in another to do the bare essentials - so sorry can't say what we should be doing!!

I raised with my netwrok coordinator, as my mindee is 'shifts' so I can have him some weeks for 60+ hours and some for 12, so was finding it hard to weekly, let alone monthly plan in depth as I don't know his shifts from month to month, and was told to just do a yearly plan broken down into months, and cover it in my setting, keeping photo evidence and write up in daily dairy as well as obs!!

Sorry can't be more help

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
