About this resource
Provision in Focus – Sustained Observation Proforma
A practical and thoughtfully designed proforma for capturing sustained observations during child-led provision.
Designed to help practitioners record what children are doing, saying, exploring and learning as they engage with the provision, with a focus on the behaviours and characteristics that support learning.
The proforma includes space to record the observation, identify key learning behaviours such as engagement, curiosity, persistence, problem-solving, creativity, independence and collaboration, and reflect on the child’s interests, strengths and possible next steps.
It also includes the Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning, making it a useful tool for developing a deeper picture of how children learn through their self-initiated play and exploration.
Ideal for:
• Sustained observations across child-led provision
• Identifying children's learning behaviours and characteristics
• Capturing interests and strengths
• Informing future provision and next steps
• Supporting ongoing assessment and professional reflection
A simple, flexible resource to help practitioners observe the learning happening within their provision.
