I specify in plain black if the child is working at their development band (lowest possible one if they overlap). 1 development band below written in bold red. 2+ development bands below written in bold blue. If working a development band above, then I change the font colour to bold green. A good quick at a glance assessment sheet for team meetings/discussions with EYFSCo/HT/Manager/OFSTED. I have also added percentage columns on the right hand side (formulas will need amending!)
