Hi

I'm new to the forum but i am on the full time pathway and i am about to hit validation at the end of the month. The one tip i would give you is to get yourself a note book and start to record what they class as 'critical incidents'. Basically record anything that makes you stop and think should i do. they can be both positive or negative. It will make sense in the long run. Even if it is so much as an activity you have planned that takes a different direction to planned etc

I've just started the short pathway and have read throught the 39 steps, oh I mean standards.  I'm just starting to think about my tasks and am I going to get all this done before my assessor visits my setting?  Probably not, but I have to.  Just did my Gateway review which was okay but very scary!  Best of luck to any EYPS candidates, we're all in the same boat.  If I have any advice, it will be posted!!  Any other advice from previous candidates?
