What happens during an observation?

During an observation early years setting staff and children will continue with their normal routine. Our specialist psychologists will observe the child in question from a distance, and if appropriate will talk to the child and possibly try to initiate play. Each child is unique so we will ensure to have talked to individuals who know the child well and can advise us on the most appropriate approach. Our psychologists will take detailed notes about what they have observed.

What happens after an observation?

After an observation our specialists will interpret what they saw and what that could indicate for the child. Our psychologists will feedback a summary of their initial findings to the relevant person. The option to purchase a report with more details will be available. Following an observation and feedback recommendations for the future may be suggested depending on the situation.

Observations are a way to assess a child in multiple learning areas with minimal disruption to their routine. Observations provide insights into the child which could indicate their strengths and difficulties.
