    Default Ofsted inspection coming up?

    Here are some useful links, hints and tips…

    Recent inspection tips from childminders (April 2015) - Recent Ofsted inspection focus points - 04.15

    Read the new Early Years Inspection handbook (May 2015) - https://www.gov.uk/government/public...for-inspectors

    Free ‘Getting ready for inspection’ guidance from Ofsted - Getting ready for inspection: seminar for early years providers

    Use the Watchsted website to look up recent local inspection reports - Watchsted - Watchsted - Maps

    You might find it helpful to learn more about joint observations - Joint observations - be prepared! -

    You should consider what activities you will cover with the children – and how they will support the children’s learning – and make sure you keep them in their routine.

    The focus will be on safeguarding and teaching / learning. Know your safeguarding procedures ... backwards!

    Make sure you have evidence of all the wonderful things you do with the children - this is your chance to show off!!

    Show how you take them from their starting points -> observations -> assessments linked to Early Years Outcomes -> individual planning -> 2 year progress check (if the right age) -> summary assessments to show the child is making progress. It's not about how much you write - it's about the quality of what you are doing.

    You will find more information about planning here - http://www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/fo...-overview.html

    I hope this helps! Remember - we are all amazing! Good luck
