Engaging & Interactive Nursery Baseline Assessment for Seesaw

Streamline your Early Years baseline assessments with this simple, highly interactive activity designed specifically for the Seesaw app. Children love using iPads to complete the tasks, making the assessment process fun, engaging, and stress-free for both practitioners and pupils!

Key Assessment Areas Covered:

Maths & Cognitive Skills: Dedicated observation sections for practitioners to comment on rote counting (counting aloud), 1:1 correspondence (counting objects), and the recognition of numbers, colours, and shapes.

Early Literacy & Mark Making: A designated interactive space for children to practice writing their names. You can easily differentiate the activity by adding letters for them to trace over or leaving the space blank to encourage independent mark-making.

Teacher Observation Notes: Built-in recording sections allow you to quickly note which hand the child prefers, as well as their current name-writing ability (e.g., overwriting/tracing, copying, or writing independently).

Why this resource works:

Saves Time: Provides a quick, structured, and paperless format for gathering essential early baseline data.

Child-Led Engagement: The interactive digital format keeps young children focused and excited to show you what they can do.

Easily Adaptable: Flexible design allows you to tailor the mark-making expectations to suit each individual child’s starting point.

Perfect for: Nursery teachers, EYFS practitioners, and childminders looking for a modern, digital approach to the initial baseline period.
