Foundations Stage scores- explain please!

[Steggie]

DD has come home today with her school report. Each report section had a score (max of 9). The scores are linked to the Foundation Stage Profile. What do these scores actually mean?

What would be a score for a Nursery age child?
What sort of score would be average for a Reception kid for this time of year?
What does a 9 mean?

Many thanks.

From what I can remember 9 means a child is working above expectations for their age group (basically this grade is meant to flag up children to a year 1 teacher who are well above average). Most children should get at least 6 in most areas by the end of Reception. I think level 3 is meant to be the average for the end of nursery. I hope that helps.
