Since Ofsted introduced its new graded system in April 2005 there has been increasing pressure on childminders to prove that they are running an ”outstanding” business. Many parents admit that they would not even consider a childminder who has not at least achieved a ”good” grading and they are prepared to pay more money and travel further to secure a place with an ”outstanding” provider.
This book, written by a practising childminder who has herself achieved an outstanding grade for her childcare service, shows how it is possible to show the Ofsted inspector that you are worthy of the highest award for your childminding service.
Topics covered include:
– What to expect from your inspection
– Regulations and legislation
– Your responsibilities to parents and children
– What the Early Years Foundation Stage means to Childminders
– Achieving the Every Child Matters Outcomes
– Essential paperwork and checklists
– Reflecting on your practice
This guide is packed with practical advice, along with exercises to test your knowledge and understanding of what is expected from you during your inspection.
