Free EYFS 'All About Me' Settling-In Template
Get to know each new child from day one, and have your first Ofsted evidence ready.
The first few weeks of a new placement are critical. An effective transition isn't just about making the child feel safe; it’s a statutory requirement under the EYFS framework to "work in partnership with parents" to understand a child's starting points.
Our EYFS-compliant "All About Me" template helps you capture the vital information you need before a child's first day. It covers everything from their favourite toys to their developmental milestones in the Prime Areas.
Why this template works:
- Reduces Anxiety: Knowing a child’s comfort objects and home routines helps them settle faster.
- Ofsted Evidence: It provides immediate, timestamped proof of your "Starting Point" assessments.
- Safety First: Ensures you have clear records of allergies, sleep preferences, and phobias.
