Heaven's Childminding Service

1. To support the service to be managed and led well, the childminder should review and update their policies and procedures on safe sleep to align with best practice guidance. This should be clear on the procedure if families request children sleep in cars and buggies to ensure children were supported to be safe in the service. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the health and social care standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I experience high quality care and support based on relevant evidence, guidance and best practice' (HSCS 4.11) and 'My care and support is provided in a planned and safe way, including if there is an emergency or unexpected event' (HSCS 4.14).

1. The childminder should continue to develop children's personal plans to ensure a personal plan is in place for every child in the service. The personal plan should clearly identify each child’s health, wellbeing and support needs. A clear record should also be kept to demonstrate that parents have reviewed their child's personal plan at least once every six months in line with legislation. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS), which state that: 'My personal plan (sometimes referred to as a care plan) is right for me because it sets out how my needs will be met, as well as my wishes and choices' (HSCS 1.15) and 'My care and support meets my needs and is right for me' (HSCS 1.19)
