I’ve not been using it to write my documentation. But I have used it to help me track development, strengths, interests and goals for the children. I’ve essentially manages to create a data base for each child and uploaded the ELYF and NQS along with the information from family surveys and my organisations policies, procedures and documenting requirements.

The way I use it is that I upload every observation, summative, learning story etc for each child into their own database. I can then have the AI track their development, change in interest, achievements, struggles and reference it back to the framework, also it is then able to provide me with summaries of a child at the end of the year.
I rarely keep these summaries as is, and often alter them with my own insights, but they are a useful basis to pull from.
I should mention that each child is identified only at their initials to avoid any confidentiality breech.
Using AI for writing documentation in childcare can be a great time-saver, but it’s important to balance automation with human insight. AI tools can help structure reports, generate observations, and even improve grammar, making the process more efficient. However, human oversight ensures accuracy and personalization, which is crucial in childcare settings. Similarly, AI is transforming other industries, including tourism and entertainment. For example, such services where you can buy nursing essay have become a major part of the educational industry. Many professionals, including nurses and caregivers, use platforms like NursingPaper to enhance their writing skills for documentation and research. While AI is helpful, a human touch remains essential in both childcare and other industries where detailed, personalized reports are needed.
I think using AI can be really helpful as long as it is in support of your own work, not in place of it. As with all things, the keyword is moderation.

The main thing is that it does not replace human experience and observation, because no technology can replace live interaction between a teacher and a child. And it is also important to remember about confidentiality, it is good that you use only initials, because this minimizes risks. It reminds me of how I check the operability of my devices before transferring data to someone, for example through Apple warranty checker, for me it is the same concern for security, only in digital terms. So I believe that AI can be a powerful assistant if we leave the main role of observation, analysis and decision-making to humans.
