I've just received EYFS assessments for my two DDs.
The youngest is 14 months old. All her 'scores' (I'm sure there is a better word, but I'm not sure what it is) are for the 8-20 month age range and she has 6 'emergings', 12 'expecteds' and 5 'exceedings'.
While I'm not hanging much on this at all and am in no way worried about her development, I did wonder about the huge developmental range between 8-20 months. Where might one expect a 14 month old to sit within the 'scoring' range?
My eldest is 38 months yes yes, I know she's 3, but EYFS seems to be all about the months. 22 of her factors are assessed against 30-50 months, with 4 'emergings' and the rest 'expected'. The other 2 are assessed against 40-60 months and are both 'emerging'. Why has she been assessed against an age range above her own?
They're both high/extremely high on the Leuven scale, so I'm guessing the staff think they're as happy and engaged at nursery as I do. That's all that really matters to me at this age.
Some advice to help with my curiosity would be much appreciated though!
