Hilltop House Childcare - Observations Policy

Observations Policy

We are required by Ofsted to make observations of your child, this is so that we can respond appropriately to help them make progress. This is demonstrated when we:

• Make systematic observations and assessment of each child’s achievements, interests and learning styles.
• Use these observations and assessments to identify learning priorities and plan relevant and motivating learning experiences for each child.
• Match their observations to the expectations of the early learning goals.

We will make regular observations on your child, using different mediums, for example, tick-lists and tracker books, photographs, written observations or video recordings. You are welcome to see copies of any of our observations. All observations are only made for personal use and will remain confidential.

We request each parent to sign a form giving us permission to carry out and record observations on their child.

If you have any concerns regarding the content of this policy please do discuss them with us.
