Taking advice from Sarah from a previous post I have been looking through inspection reports by the inspector that will be doing my inspection. Below are pointers she has put into various inspection reports any help as to how I can ensure I meet these points would be gratefully received: Sorry it's long!!
• provide further opportunities for play and learning which promote positive attitudes to diversity and difference
• develop systems to evaluate the success of planned activities.
She plans a good range of activities each day which help children make progress in all six areas of learning but has not developed systems to evaluate the success of these activities.
However, there are few resources in natural materials which can be used flexibly to encourage children's exploration and to extend their critical thinking.
____________
The childminder has started to evaluate the care and learning she provides and has identified a number of training courses which will help her develop her service. However, systems of reflective practice are not fully embedded into her practices.
To further improve the early years provision the registered person should:
• develop an ongoing self-evaluation system to fully ensure continuous development.
___________
To further improve the early years provision the registered person should:
• identify and assess learning priorities and plan relevant, motivating learning experiences for each child; liaise with parents or carers so that individual learning opportunities can be extended
• promote equal opportunities and anti discriminatory practice through regular routines and planned activities so that all children feel valued and families feel included
• continue to develop a culture of reflective practice, self evaluation and informed discussion to identify strength and priorities for development that will improve outcomes for children.
The childminder regularly shares information with the local pre-school on the child's interests and learning while in her care. However, systems to involve parents in the assessment of children's learning to help ensure they are making sufficient progress in their learning and development are not yet in place.
The childminder provides a varied range of toys and activities which interest the children that she cares for. However, the systems that she currently uses to plan and assess children's learning are not robust enough to ensure children develop in all areas of learning. The childminder has begun to make some useful observations on individual children but has not linked these clearly to the stages of their individual development to help her plan for their next steps. Many of the activities provided do not provide children with sufficient challenge and opportunities are missed to introduce new vocabulary and to challenge children's critical thinking.
Probably one for Sarah!!!!
