Dawn Connah Childminding

1. To support improvement to the service and ensure positive outcomes for children, the childminder should develop quality assurance practices. This should include but is not limited to; a) Reviewing values, visions and aims in consultation with children and families. b) Gathering and using children and families views to inform developments. c) Updating policies in line with best practice guidance. d) Implementing a self-evaluation process to support improvement, including the new Quality Framework for Childminding. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I benefit from a culture of continuous improvement, with the organisation having robust and transparent quality assurance processes' (HSCS 4.19).
