EYFS in Practice Evidence File

If a childminder wants an Ofsted grade that truly reflects the quality of their provision, they will need to show how they deliver all aspects of EYFS including the 6 areas of Learning and Development, observation, assessment and planning. They will also need to fill in a Self Evaluation Form and produce some evidence of meeting the Welfare Requirements and record keeping.

Childminders often report that while they have an understanding of the 'what', 'how' and 'why' of good practice, they sometimes struggle to put this into words and they have asked for examples of 'what it looks like'. Once seen, they readily set about writing their own evidence.

So....
EYFS in Practice Ltd has produced an Evidence File that explains what evidence a childminder will need to prepare, with a set of example Policies and Procedures that are mapped against the EYFS Welfare Requirements, written by an 'Outstanding' registered childminder, and already used in an Ofsted EYFS pilot inspection, where the provision was graded 'Outstanding'.
We have also provided example formats for risk assessments and a parent questionnaire together with very practical and sustainable examples of observation, assessment and planning.

Childminders can buy direct from this site, by debit or credit card, or by sending a cheque to our address at the bottom of the page.
