Reception Baseline Assessment Booklet

I have created a baseline assessment on entry to Reception, because I struggled to find a baseline assessment that matched the new Development Matters document. Therefore, I have used Development Matters, July 2021 to create this document and to look at what we would expect children to be doing when they enter Reception in September, to be 3-4 years secure. I hope this resource helps you too!
