childminding and EYFS

[mummymon]

Has anyone got any simple straight forward ideas of how to record the EYFS. I know what i need to do and for the past month i have been writing down my observations and taking photos. But there are just so many different fomats to use and some look really long winded and complicated. At present i am studying for my NVQ3 and i think my brain is just turning to mush. I have not done anything like this for nearly 25 years, god that sounds scary. Please can anyone help?

i quite liked this idea

although i am newly registered and havent even done eyfs training, so am completely unqualified to answer

Thank you i will take a look. i have got my name down to do a short course but the waiting list is so long, i dont know when i will get on. This EYFS has really got my goat. I only mind 2 children, one full time and one part time, so i dont earn very much. By doing my NVQ i am hoping to be able to leave CM and find a job within a nursery or school. Its a shame because i love looking after the little ones in my home but red tape and all that has taken the joy out of it. Thanks again and i hope all goes well for you.
