Recommendation 1

1. To support children's health and wellbeing, the childminder should ensure all children have a personal plan that meets their individual needs, choices and progress. This information should be used by the childminder to care for and support children effectively. 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 my 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). Supporting guidance can be found in the Guide for Providers on Personal Planning – Early Learning and Childcare on the Care Inspectorate Hub.
