Hi Ellie,
If you read through the National standards you will see the sort of things OFSTED expect to be in place when they visit. National Standards for Full Day care from Surestart Hants.gov.uk have a nicely laid out page that explains this - What OFSTED do Requirements will include: That all Early years & childcare settings are inspected and registered. That the standards are known, understood and are being put in place/implemented & used. Other things will be that may need to be taken into account are things from external agencies - such as health and safety, food hygiene, fire or planning requirements. Documentation would need to be provided for any of these. Requirements of Staff qualifications ... please check with your tutor about this before I climb on a :soapbox: lol The National Standards are: Standard 1 - Suitable person Standard 2 - Organisation Standard 3 - Care, learning and play Standard 4 - Physical environment Standard 5 - Equipment Standard 6 - Safety Standard 7 - Health Standard 8 - Food and drink Standard 9 - Equal opportunities Standard 10 - Special needs (including special educational needs and disabilities) Standard 11 - Behaviour Standard 12 - Working in partnership with parents and carers Standard 13 - Child protection Standard 14 - Documentation As at - 29th January 2008 These lower more descriptive examples are exerts from Hants.gov.uk Quote:

I went round and round in circles trying to find this information until this morning when I found this document called: Framework for the regulation of childminding and day care. It has everything you need to know about Ofsted. It was produced in October 2007 but we hadn't got a copy in our group. You can download it . It helped me loads with unit 418 in my NVQ4

Ofsted publications have a lot of doucments to support how you run the setting
One of them is how we inspect childcare and this is the document used by inspectors, its useful to read this and the other publications. Some of them give examples of what outstanding practice look like A very new document is called 'Getting on well' and gives many examples of good practice and how it looks safe and sound is about good practice in relation to staying safe outcomes see link below http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/portal/site...003507640aRCRD |
