Assessment in early years plays a crucial role in understanding how children learn, develop, and achieve. It is an ongoing process that includes observations, baseline assessments, I can statements, trackers and reports to build a clear picture of each child’s progress. Practitioners use regular observations to capture children’s interests, skills, and developmental milestones in real life contexts. These observations are then used alongside I can statements, which help break learning down into achievable steps, making it easier to monitor development and plan next steps. A baseline assessment is often completed when children first start, providing a starting point for measuring progress. From there, trackers are used to monitor development across key areas of the EYFS, ensuring no child is left behind and that support can be tailored effectively. Clear and informative reports are shared with parents and carers, helping to build strong partnerships and keep everyone informed about a child’s achievements and areas for development. This collaborative approach ensures consistency between home and the early years setting. By using a combination of assessment methods, early years practitioners can support every child to reach their full potential, fostering confidence, independence, and a love of learning from the very beginning.
