When documenting your observations you need to be aware of the centre’s policies and the states legislation in regards to documenting children’s development and filing them appropriately for confidentially and privacy purposes. The observation must have the child's name, age, date, time, setting and indicate what information you are wanting to gather. It is also important to write clearly and accurately about what you are observing and the language that you use needs to be clear and descriptive to explain how the child is undertaking a particular activity.
