Assessing and Recording Progress within the EYFS

A new EYFS resource to support assessment
and recording in the Early Years Foundation Stage

An interactive learning journal designed specifically for children with complex and profound learning needs.

These materials reflect the key principles of the revised EYFS; reducing time spent on recording and recognising the importance of qualitative data and practitioner knowledge in order to provide high quality assessment for learning.

• Records progress from the start of each child’s unique learning journey and keeps the child at the centre of the process
• Emphasis on personalised strengths and significant characteristics of each child in order to capture progress without the use of checklists or excessive data
• Provides useful links to support the transition beyond EYFS
• A celebratory document that can be shared with parents, carers and child
