Assessment guidance
These assessment arrangements have been co-constructed with key partners to support practitioners in funded non-maintained nursery settings which have adopted the curriculum for funded non-maintained nursery settings.
The arrangements take account of the needs of all learners and recognise that their identity, language, ability, background and prior learning, as well as the support they may need, will differ according to their particular circumstances.
These arrangements will also support settings to:
• understand progression in children’s learning
• apply the principles of progression in practice
• develop a shared understanding of progression across the setting
• use observation to inform provision that supports children to make progress
• know about and implement initial and ongoing assessment arrangements
