finleysmaid Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 i never used to have cp info...couldn't really see the point but when we were inspected (one before last!) we were asked "how do you know what a child is learning if they are playing with the sand" (for example) ....my inclination was to say that my staff were well trained and that they could tell what the children were learning but i do take Gezebel's point that if you have students in it would be helpful. (my parents dont read it and never have!!) We post the cp planning up in each area, the ofsted inspector noticed it...do we USE it? NO of course we don't !!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFlo Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I have to say I agree with Gezebel - what works for one setting, doesnt work for another, we use CP plans around the room to support our apprentices and students in the nursery, as well as us older ones when the brain is not truly engaging first thing in the morning when adding enhancements etc. Do them only if theyre useful to you Kx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjmum Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Thank you KirstyC and SueJ for these great docs. I'm not sure our nursery setting has anything like this at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well with little else to do during the current precipitations I have cobbled together the book corner area CPP - it is a bit of a mission and slow progress but your comments would be appreciated before I begin trawling through the other areas. Book Area for fsf.doc Thank you so much for sharing this Sue. I hope you don't mind but I have used some of your CP to redo my own. You have clearly put a lot of work into yours but I find it really hard to work with anything more that double sided A4, so I have adpated it to suit my setting, focussing on 40-60 months. I think I am happy with it, so thought I would share it with everyone else. Thanks again Sue. Reading Area CP.doc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouseketeer Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thanks rufus, lots of work went into that.......now all these cp sheets are really making me nervous, looks like I may have to concede and actually use the back of a piece of paper ! , and that,s really pushing my boundaries Note to self " must order a load more ink, a load more paper, a load more laminating sheets and a load more time" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueJ Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thanks to everyone for their comments regarding the CPP - the more I got into it the more it began to feel as though I was rewriting the guidance doc so I have changed tack slightly. Having reflected I see no real value in filtering through all the DM statements and picking out the "right" ones for each area as they are all there in the guidance and when working with a broad age range it becomes somewhat of a mission. However I have battled on and pulled together a CPP document that I feel outlines my setting's CPP. I have uploaded it here in pdf format for comment - if anyone feels that it is of value and can tailor it to their setting let me know and I can upload it in word.

Guest pamgreen Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Sue these plans are brilliant. What I was interested in were the books you use for medium term planning. How do these help, I have tried to look them up on amazon but they are out of stock. I have never heard of these books but would love to hear what you have to say. many many thanks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
