current questionnaire:

''How do you feel about the way I care for your child?s basic needs?
How do you feel about the way I encourage your child to learn and the way that I support their development?
Are there any additional activities or experiences you would like me to offer?
Are you satisfied with the way I deal with any problems?
Any other comments?''

Can anybody suggest any rewordings, I want to but am brain-dead

thank you x x x

You could look at the SEF and see if it has any ideas you can use to ask questions, which then answer the SEF for you - although I have heard that the SEF might be phased out soon.

My questionnaires are based around the 5 eCM areas.

Try to stay away from 'how do you feel' 'are you' - questions - that can encourage one word answers.

Probably better to put; 'please describe.....'

When I give my ECM based questionnaire I only give one or two sections ie: being safe and being healthy for instance and another section(s) to another parent.

section example:
Being Healthy

Whats it like for a child here:
(prompts for parents)
think about healthy eating
hygiene
play provisions - outdoors/equipment/walks
adequate exercise
supervision and compliance with regualtions
policies

this method has always worked well for me and I have always had good returns in the main.

cor thanks both

very useful tips

Pippin, it was the I feel that was stumping me

the please describe is a much better way to elicit contructive feedback, and yes the one word answer is what I want to avoid

Looking again at my SEF, HSMM
