Asquith Louisa - Childminder - 161147

As an early year education provider, I observe and assess each child in my care, in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage which is implemented by Ofsted. I hold discussion with parents on a regular basis, regarding any concerns each party has, with regards to your child’s development. I carry out a 2 year development check, which is shared with parents and health visitor, or any professional body which has contact with the child. I ensure that I have time to discuss each child’s daily needs with the parents at the beginning and end of each day. I operate an online system, for learning journals, which parents have 24 hours access too. I also print end of term reports to place in their personal folders. All new children have a baseline assessment carried out, with parent’s involvement to gain starting point with their child’s learning journey.

I am located in Bishopstoke near Eastleigh.

I make decisions on if I have spaces for each child in my setting.

As a childcare professional, I work alone, but ensure close contact with other professionals and parents to enable continuity of care, a secure base for each child. All policies and risk assessments are in place to support all children and parents. I ask parent to complete an “All About Me” form which highlights the child’s current development, language, strengths, home life and interests. The family are offered settling days prior to start date and after. I offer additional information and help from outside professional who may be involved or could offer assistance with the child’s development. I work in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, ensuring that each session is child lead but build around the child’s interests, which enables me to assess the child’s strengths and needs, helping me form their individual next steps. I have a rich environment, incorporating indoor and outdoor play areas, trips out and walks, to enable them to explore and investigate.
