She understands how to use this to support all children in her setting to maintain high-quality standards of care. She recognises further development plans to increase her skills and knowledge further, such as undertaking sign language training to support children with special education needs and/or disabilities in their communication. She holds children's interests and needs at the heart of her work and knows how to adjust her practice to help them to achieve. The childminder understands how to develop ways to work more closely with families to help build relationships, such as spending time with families outside of her setting to continue learning about children and expanding her knowledge about their needs.
