In response to growing pressure on early years practitioners to
adopt a 'tick-box' approach to recording children's progress,
Celebrating Children's Learning sets out a bold, alternative vision
for assessment in the early years. Drawing upon an inspiring
collaboration between London nursery schools, this book explores
and reconsiders the purpose of observation in early years settings.
Contributors provide a range of examples to guide early years
practitioners as they develop their own methods of observation.
Play, social interaction, and cooperation with parents are shown to
be valuable opportunities for keen observation. Chapters discuss: -
moving beyond data-focussed assesment - Characteristics of
Effective Learning - ensuring inclusive assessment - collaborating
with parents from diverse backgrounds - outdoor learning - a Forest
School approach. Inspiring and empowering, Celebrating Children's
Learning is essential reading for teachers, practitioners, and
students involved in early education.

Shortlisted for Best Professional Book by Nursery World Awards
2017! The stakes have never been higher: Ofsted have a new, tougher
inspection framework for the early years. If you are judged to be
less than good, you risk losing funding for places. A reputation
that took years to build can vanish overnight. But instead of
hiding behind the "Ofsted monster" to get things done, Early Years
expert Julian Grenier argues that it's time to do what's right for
children and families, and build long-lasting and effective
provision. Completely up to date with Ofsted's new Common
Inspection Framework and avoiding a 'tick-box' approach to
preparation, Julian focuses on the importance of developing your
provision and your team up to and beyond inspection day. It is
accompanied by easy-to-use time-saving pro formas and
self-reflective documents that can be downloaded online for free.
This book is ideal for head teachers, senior leaders, EYFS
co-ordinators, nursery managers and Early Years practitioners. "We
had our Ofsted Inspection on May 31st and achieved an Outstanding
grade which we are very proud of, as you might imagine! I used
Successful Early Years Ofsted Inspections to focus my thoughts when
preparing for the inspection and I am sure it was a contributory
factor in our grade." -Wendy Taylor, Nursery Manager, Acorns
Nursery Julian Grenier will be discussing ideas from Successful
Early Years Oftsed Inspections in the SAGE Early Years Masterclass,
a free professional development experience hosted by Kathy Brodie.
