Daily Register and Attendance Record

A complete set of daily records for an early years setting: the children’s register with arrival and departure times and who collected, an absence follow-up log, the staff signing-in record, a visitors’ book and a ratio check sheet. It meets the EYFS requirement to keep a daily record of children’s names, hours of attendance and key persons, and gives you the roll call you need in an emergency.

• Every day the setting is open – one set per room or per day
• For emergency roll calls (take it out with the grab bag)
• To show Ofsted how you manage ratios and attendance

• Print enough copies or recreate the tables in your app or spreadsheet
• Fill in the children’s names and expected times before the session
• Record times as they happen, not at the end of the day
• Store completed records securely for your retention period
