You might use an accessibility audit.
This would audit (check) your house and garden to make sure you are making what the Disability Discrimination Act calls 'reasonable adjustments' to welcome all children and their families.
So you might audit your provision for eg...
A child who is deaf and needs a hearing loop - how would you get one?
A child who has asthma and needs a low allergy garden - what changes might you make?
A child who cannot get into your toilet because of the size of the door frame - what could you do?
A child with a walking frame if you have steps going up to your front door - how could you enable the child to get in?
Those sorts of things.
I am actually writing an article for ECM (Essential Childminder Magazine) about this one right now! I find it fascinating
