E-Book: A guide to your Ofsted EYFS inspection -  How to prepare your setting

 

Preparing for your EYFS Ofsted inspection?  This E-book / Guide will help you and show you how

It explains what the inspector will be looking for. It tells you what you need to show and tell your inspector.

Which documents and records to have and more . . .

What inspectors look for when judging provision

The central question which inspectors seek to answer is: what is it like for a child here?

In doing so, they consider how well you deliver the EYFS; and how, as a result, children are helped to achieve the five Every Child Matters outcomes  (being healthy; staying safe; enjoying and achieving; making a positive contribution; and achieving economic well-being) In order to decide this, inspectors make four main judgements which are also linked to the general requirements of the EYFS

 

Grade 1

 OUTSTANDING

Exceptional provision which is way above the norm

Grade 2

 GOOD

Strong provision in which children are well cared for

Grade 3

SATISFACTORY

The standard of care is acceptable. Could be better

Grade 4

 INADEQUATE

The standard of care is not good enough. Provision is weak

 

Your Ofsted inspector will evaluate:

  • how effective is your provision in meeting the needs of the children?

  • how effectively are children helped to learn and develop?

  • how effectively is the welfare of the children promoted?

  • how effectively is your provision organised?

Risk Assessment Forms - Health and Safety

 

This pack contains risk assessment forms for a childminder's house, garden, car and resources.

Childminders must conduct a risk assessment which is part of the Welfare Requirements

as stated in the EYFS Statutory Framework.
 

Welfare Requirements:

  • Suitable premises, equipment and environment.

  • Outdoor and indoor spaces, and furniture, equipment and toys, must be safe and suitable for their purpose.

  • Childminders must take reasonable steps to ensure that hazards to children both indoors and outdoors are minimised.

  • The risk assessment should cover anything which a child may come into contact with.

The "All about me" book

The  - All About Me - book is one way in which to gather knowledge of a child in your setting.

All About Me book can be completed when first getting to know a child and at other times to inform you about which areas you may wish to observe and develop in more detail.

All About Me book can be developed one stage further - as a tool when planning high quality experiences for the child.

Childminders Daily Diary

 

It is a good practice to provide a Daily Diary for each child in your setting. A daily diary acts as a tool for communication between the childminder and the parent. "Effective communication means there is a two-way flow of information, knowledge and expertise between parents and practitioners" - Working in partnership with parents

This Daily Diary has a page for each day. Details are easy to complete. It covers daily activities, milestones achievements, meals, sleep, toileting, notes, reminders, parent's comment etc

You will receive:

  • 1 Daily Diary template for babies

  • 1 Daily Diary template for older children

  • 1 Front Cover for your diary

These templates will allow you to print an endless supply of Daily Diary.

Charts for recording children's progress development

 

Milestones Charts

Detailed charts of what a baby / child should be doing at different ages. Please remember that these charts are just guidelines, but you can use them as a tool for observing a child. And obviously based on your observations you can then plan activities to promote a specific area of a baby / child's development. These charts are very useful when working in partnership with your parents, to compare notes in order to promote their children's progress and learning

 

You will receive:

  • 1 set of developmental milestones charts for babies to 3 years old

  • 1 set of developmental milestones charts for 3 to 5 years old
