Recent Inspection

**mumofone** · 30-04-2019, 08:26 AM

Has anyone had an inspection recently? Do we know what their current focus areas tend to be? They don't seem to have been in my area in a long time so cant see any recent reports.

I had an inspection recently just over a week ago, I was asked a lot about Prevent/FGM/signs of abuse plus my inspector wanted to see how well I knew my children's learning and development , where they are currently/what their next steps are etc.

I don't think it matters how you present your learning and development it is more focussed on how well you know the children, how you plan for next steps. I use a mix of online and paper based as I use Tapestry for the learning Journeys as I find parents engage better with this but all my other paperwork is paper based as is very minimal.

A fellow childminder had her inspection recently ... very focused on prevent and fgm. Oh, and diversity....
Apparently having 'multicultural' dolls/ role play bits/ images in books, puzzles and games ( and on dvd etc ) / eating food from other cultures / finding out about festivals etc is not enough ... she must do more! ... but didn't elaborate on how ... childminder lives in a very rural area with a distinct lack of diversity!
