Ensuring children make progress in their development and learning is a vital part of the work that we all do in our settings everyday. After gathering feedback from early years staff, and working in collaboration with education and allied health professionals, a set of principles to support effective tracking in early learning and childcare settings has been compiled. Please use the principles to support effective tracking of development and learning within your setting. Your Early Years Education Support Officer will be happy to discuss this with you further if you have any questions.
