Observing a child in early years is also important because an individual can track their Physical, Intellectual, Emotional and Social development so individuals can make sure they’re on track with their development.

Observing children in early years is important because when listening and watching them you find out how they’re developing, they learn through play. It’s important because parents or practitioners know what stage of development they are at, resources such as toys and equipment which can help them learn new skills and new knowledge.

Observing children is also important as children have different talents and abilities. You can also see what their interests are and what they choose to do and what resources they like to use this is also a learning curve for the parents as they begin to understand their likes and dislikes.

Observing and understanding young
children as learners and a fundamental tool in finding out more about them as
individuals. It is an essential part of the assessment and planning cycle and a
strong basis for reflection.

Observation requires carefully
monitoring children's actions, expressions, gestures and behaviours, and
listening to their talk and interactions. Sometimes it may include joining in
with their play or conversations and sometimes asking and responding to
questions.

Observing children in in an early years setting is important as then it is possible to record their development and to see if their development is at the right stage, what the child’s learning approach is and to see what their interests are and/or what they like doing/playing.
This gives the opportunity to identify issues, easier to assess the children along with getting to know the child better.

There are principles that should be the basics of young children’s learning and development assessments are:
•They have to be reliable and accurate and should be based primarily on the practitioner’s knowledge of the child, gained by observation and interaction in a range of daily activities and events.
•A well-thought-through pedagogy must be in place so that the provision enables each child to demonstrate their learning and development fully.
•Practitioners should be looking for evidence of ‘embedded learning’ – this is identified by assessing what a child can do consistently and independently in a range of everyday situations.
•An effective assessment should present a holistic view of a child’s learning and development.
•Accurate assessments need to include contributions from a range of perspectives including the child (whenever possible), their parents and other relevant adults.

By observing children, you can discover a different side to them. I.e. with covert observation you can discover their personality when they are comfortable in the surroundings, and with direct observation you are getting involved with the individuals. These are both ways of recording development, and also seeing their likes and interests first hand.

Observing children means listening and looking at the children to see how they develop this involves their likes and dislikes and how they learn. It is important that observations are made because it’s helpful when it comes to us understanding more about the child, how they prefer to play, how they learn for example; remembering things, and how they interact with others. All of these things are a part of the child’s development and by observing them you get to see how they are progressing based on the early year’s foundation stages guidelines.

Nursery world says that observation of children is the key to understanding young children as learners and finfing out more about them as individuals. Observations is about watching children's actions, expressions, gestures and behaviour and listening to them talk and interact. It is the responsibility of all practitioners to not important information about all the childrens learning as it is presented. All children have different relationships with different adults and through observation, each adult will bring an individual perspective to the assessment process for a particular child.
