Leadership and governance Needs attention

The childminder recognises the importance of working in close partnership with parents to support children's learning and development. From the outset, she gathers detailed information about what children already know and can do, as well as their interests and preferences. This enables her to plan and deliver learning opportunities that are relevant, appropriate and tailored to each child's individual starting point, supporting progress over time. The childminder is able to talk about how she can work alongside parents and signposts them to external agencies for tailored support. When observing and assessing children, she explains the importance of acting in a timely manner to secure additional support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
