Pre school report

[Ladygaladriel]

Can someone shed a bit of light for me on a pre school report I have been given please?
It looks like DS has been assessed against a number of criteria in all different categories so things like reading, writing, moving and handling.
There are three different letters next to them all for emerging, developing and secure. He got 40-60 D for the majority of them.
So because he isn’t secure in anything does this mean he’s going to be behind going into reception? Pre school haven’t really explained anything about it and they’ve broken up today.
I just want to know really if most of the kids get a secure level then I can do as much as I can with him over the holidays to try to catch up.
Thanks

40 - 60 developing is exactly where he should be (if not a little ahead) going into reception. My school expect children to be at 40 - 60 emerging at the end of nursery.

The EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) is the curriculum used across both Nursery and Reception.
He is not behind if he is ''developing" in the 40 - 60 age band generally, across the board. He is spot on (or may be ahead).
The best things you can do for him over the Summer are things like making sure he can recognise his coat; recognise when he is hot / cold and to know to put his jumper on / take it off; put his shoes on; use the toilet and wipe himself and wash his hands independently; carry a tray; pour from a jug; open things like yoghurt pots; recognise his name (check jumper is his); put his shoes on (on the right feet); put his gloves into his pocket; do his coat up ; if taking a packed lunch, then be able to open it; etc.
By all means, read to him, give him access to pencils, colours, paints etc., if he wants to - but don't worry if he doesn't.
The key thing is to talk to him, and listen to him. Just talk about whatever you see when you are out and about.

Thank you so much. Yes now we have all summer not in a rush to leave the house I’ll be making sure he does more to dress himself. Thank you for all the other tips. I wouldn’t even have thought of something like taking his yoghurt lid off.
