Supporting Children’s learning through the curriculum
In this TMA I have ethical guidelines all names have been changed to protect identity. The setting, children and parents have given their consent to activities being used in this assignment and participants were told they could withdraw at any time.
The focus of my observation is a child 's learning through personal social and emotional development with communication and language; I have collected evidence of the learning through five observations within a week. These observations can be seen in the appendix.

Child 1 is back with childminder every day and was attending our setting 5 mornings a week.

When child 1 first started we had an information sheet from parents explain child1’s likes, dislikes, abilities, also at staff meetings all staff discuss children with the setting and any observation they see these meeting can be with all members of staff to only the key person and the member of staff that was
