Outcome 1 – Be able to contribute to assessments of the development needs of children and young people
(1.1) Share your EYFS assessment records and observations with your assessor

Assessor to confirm that observations are carried out in all areas of development
(1.2) List different observation methods and give and explanation of how they are used
Diary: a daily record keeping track of everything a child has done , often shared with parents. Useful for very young children who can’t talk yet.
Anecdotal: Ones you may not have seen but parents have told you. Can be added to the child’s records.
Event sample: sheet is prepared with set columns e.g. time, situation, social group, etc. who write down names and situations and developmental stages.
Narrative methods including running records: observer notices something interesting and writes down what they see happening and then link it to a skill or an area of development. Used to keep track of child’s progression.
(1.3) Explain how you support your observation/assessments of the children in your care (e.g. what do you need to consider when observing children?)
Children can change according to who they are with and whether they know they are being watched so the children should be observed in a range of situations e.g. with other children, by themselves or when they are with an adult.
(1.4) Once you have observed a child in your setting, how do you identify that you can meet the child’s needs in your session?
We can meet the child’s needs after observation with reflecting on children’s interests and views, with through play for children in early years, providing challenge and planning to be flexible.
