As some of you already know when using Famly you are able to upload parent observations on your child/Children this is important as Parents and carers play a crucial role in supporting their young children’s learning and development, Parent and carer contributions to children’s documentation can help us to bring children’s home lives into the setting and help us to teach in meaningful ways
.
It is also a useful tool to help with parent partnership. Parent partnership helps early year’s practitioners to tailor their service around the specific needs of the child in their care. Parents are experts on their children and through positive communication with the parent, the Practitioner can gather all sorts of information that would otherwise not have been available to them.
I have added a link below on how to complete a child/children observation for your guidance this can also be found on famly.
