Recommendation 1

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) Recording children and families views used to inform developments. c) Ensuring practices are in line with policies, procedures and best practice guidance. d) Implementing a self-evaluation process to support improvement, including the use of 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).
