Recommendation 1

1. To support children's wellbeing and keep them safe the childminder should should further develop their knowledge of best practice guidance relating to the safe administration of medication and review their administration of medication policy and procedures to ensure they are following best practice guidance. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'Any treatment or intervention that I experience is safe and effective.’ (HSCS 1.24).

Recommendation 2

1. To support positive outcomes the childminder should provide regular and formal opportunities for children and their families to offer their views on all aspects of the provision. This should include, but not be limited to, gathering feedback on service delivery, involving families in the development of plans and activities, and ensuring they have a voice in decisions that affect them. Their input should be used to identify and meet areas for improvement. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I can be meaningfully involved in how the organisations that support and care for me work and develop' (HSCS 4.6) and 'I am actively encouraged to be involved in improving the service I use, in a spirit of genuine partnership' (HSCS 4.7).
