Professional Observation and Assessment of Children from Birth to Five:
Checklists, worked examples and sample documents to help Early Years practitioners prepare for an Ofsted inspection


Implement the Early Years Foundation Stage assessment and observation requirements

With the September 2008 deadline for the implementation of the Early Years Foundation Stage, Early Years Managers need to be getting ready to carry out their legal requirements to plan, observe and assess all children from birth to five years old.

If you are like many of the Early Years Managers we have spoken to, you may feel unprepared and find that the official guidance does not offer enough practical support.

In response to this, we have consulted with Early Years Managers and developed Professional Observation and Assessment of Children from Birth to Five: Checklists, worked examples and sample documents to help Early Years practitioners prepare for an Ofsted inspection. Our CD-ROM and companion handbook are designed to act as your in-house EYFS advisor – at a fraction of the cost of a consultant.

Using this valuable publication, you will be able to:

  • Meet your legal obligations and prepare for your next Ofsted inspection – our practical checklists ensure that you are meeting your legal obligations regarding child learning and development, and that you are fully prepared for your next inspection.
  • Enable all adult supporters (including parents/carers and children) to contribute to observing and recording assessments – our model observation documents, worked examples of completed observations and handy checklists show you how to carry out group and individual child assessments effectively while delivering the EYFS.
  • Write effective planning documents under the new framework – worked examples of planning documents for all stages of child development show you how to effectively plan, observe and assess children from birth through to five years old.
  • Analyse data electronically to help you track the progress of children – our straightforward software highlights when children reach learning objectives and helps you to record the progress of both individual children and classes.

Save yourself hours of time writing up your own recording forms with our straightforward software, then print professional reports for parents or inspectors.

Updates are issued quarterly to reflect modifications to legal aspects or content, as well as for functional improvements. See order form for more details.
