Hi we starting using the EYFS in september and it has revolutionised the way we work with the children. We are all much clearer in our knowledge of what interests them and are then able to plan more effectivly from this and this has resulted in better behaviour and more focussed play which has to be benificial for all children. An added bonus has been that staff are more knowledgable and this has impacted on our relationship with carers. We have produced sheets containing the main goals from age 2 - 5 and put a space next to each to put in our evidence, these are obtained from daily observations using sticky labels which the keyworker then updates to the childs files. This then shows where each child is and, more importantly, what activities they are accessing and therefore areas to expand on. hope this helps
