Childminders – GOV.UK

Early years foundation stage (

EYFS)

Should I store my paperwork in a folder marked ‘Ofsted’?

You should use whatever approach to paperwork suits you. You are free to file it however you like.

Paragraph 2.2 of the EYFS framework sets out the requirements for paperwork related to assessment.
You should not need to take prolonged breaks from interacting with children in order to carry out assessments, and assessments should not require excessive paperwork. You should draw on your knowledge of the child and your own expert professional judgement.

Childminders registered on the early years register (EYR) only are required to have policies and procedures as set out in the EYFS, including procedures for risk assessment. While they are not required to have written policies, they must make sure that they have effective procedures in place, as set out in the EYFS. They must ensure that any assistants are aware of, and follow, the statutory policies, and can explain them to parents and others when requested.

Childminders registered on the childcare register (CCR) only, or in addition to the EYR, are required to have some written policies. Full details on these requirements can be found in Childminders and childcare providers: register with Ofsted.

Each inspection is unique, and inspectors will only ask to see evidence they consider appropriate to that individual setting. This is usually determined by their observations of teaching and learning. The paperwork most often requested is listed in paragraphs 48 and 49 of the early years inspection handbook, but it is unlikely that an inspector will want to see all of these documents at every inspection.

How will inspectors consider the progress children make at my setting?

Ofsted considers the curriculum as a progression model. By progress, we mean that children know more, remember more and can do more of what was intended in the curriculum.

In early years, progress might mean:

• for example, knowing the sounds of farm animals, knowing that an oven gets hot, knowing the meaning of countless words or knowing what facial expressions suggest
• ‘know how’ – for example, knowing how to hold a pair of scissors, knowing how to catch a ball, knowing that we should take turns and how to do so, knowing how to dress and undress a doll and knowing how to hold and turn the pages of a book
• knowing behaviours and habits for the future – for example, knowing to look at the teacher, knowing phrases such as ‘kind hands’ and ‘tidy-up time’, knowing to listen when others speak and knowing that we sit when listening to stories

We can say that these have been learned when they are remembered.

Inspectors will want to find out about the curriculum you provide for your children. This sets out what you want the children to learn while they are with you. Inspectors will be interested in what you teach children, and what children can do, know and remember as a result.

Will inspectors expect me to show the progress of a child tracked against ‘Development Matters’?

No. It is up to you how you assess children’s progress. Inspectors will not ask to see any internal tracking or assessment information. Our inspection handbook sets out how we will gather evidence through observation and discussion during an inspection.

Ofsted inspects childminders in line with the principles and requirements of the EYFS. You may find it helpful to use ‘Development Matters’, but we do not inspect against this, as it is non-statutory guidance. When writing inspection reports, inspectors will not usually refer to specific guidance you choose to use, but rather how well you are providing the curriculum for children.

Inspectors will want to find out about the story of a child, including:

• what they knew and could do when they started at the provision
• what they can do now and how you helped them to learn it
• what you intend for the child to learn in future, so that they are ready for their next stage

As stated in our handbook, inspectors do not expect to see documentation other than that set out in the EYFS framework. They will use the evidence gathered from discussions and observations to judge the overall quality of the curriculum provided for children.

Will inspectors prefer to see paper assessments rather than those recorded electronically?

No. Inspectors will not be looking at assessment information during inspections. The EYFS does not prescribe a way of carrying out or recording assessments. Assessment needs to be effective and help children’s learning, development and progress.

Paragraph 2.2 of the EYFS framework sets out the requirements for paperwork related to assessment. You should not need to take prolonged breaks from interacting with children in order to carry out assessments, and assessments should not require excessive paperwork.

Do childminders need to produce a curriculum map?

No. We are keen correct this misconception! We are clear that what children learn in the early years is incredibly important for their future success.

The EYFS’s educational programmes provide the framework for the curriculum. It is for you to decide how to expand, extend and broaden these. It is for you to decide what guidance to use when developing and shaping your curriculum, and for you to decide how to talk about the early years curriculum with inspectors. Some childminders may choose to map this out, but others may present what they do in a different way.

Inspectors will want to know how you design an ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum that prepares children well for the next stage of their education. You will be asked:

• what you want children to learn and why
• how you are helping children know more and remember more
• how you measure this success

We use ‘knowing more and remembering more’ for all areas of learning in the EYFS. Physical development, for example knowing how to balance on a wheeled toy or knowing when to use the toilet, are just as important as knowing, remembering and understanding more words.

Our inspection handbook makes it clear that curriculum planning does not need to be in any specific format. It is up to you to determine the format of your planning, and to justify these plans based on what you want children to encounter, explore and learn in the setting.

I care for children before and after school. What type of inspection will I have?

The type of inspection you will receive is set out in part 3 of the early years inspection handbook, ‘Applying the EIF in different contexts’.

Does Ofsted expect me to use formal language when speaking with children?

No. Ofsted does not have set expectations about what words you use. However, inspectors will check that you are meeting the communication and language requirements set out in the statutory framework for the early years foundation stage. Inspectors will check whether children are experiencing a language-rich environment and an accurate use of words over time. Informal words or less accurate words may form an occasional part of this, such as ‘doggie’ when talking about a dog or ‘ta’ for ‘thank you’, when helping a child move from using a familiar informal word to a more accurate one. As a result, an inspector would not judge a provider negatively solely on the occasional use of informal language. However, it is important that children are exposed to accurate use of language over time. In our inspection handbook, we explain that inspectors will evaluate whether practitioners communicate well to check children’s understanding, identify misconceptions and provide clear explanations, in order to improve children’s learning.

Inspection practice

Will I always have notice of my inspection?

Ofsted can carry out inspections without notice. No-notice inspections normally, but not always, take place when a childminder was judged inadequate at their last inspection, or when someone has raised concerns that a childminder may not be meeting the requirements of the EYFS.

How long will my inspection take?

Inspectors will normally be on site for about 3 hours. If the inspection is likely to take longer, for example if you are responsible for taking children to school and/or collecting them from school, or you work with assistants, then an inspector will discuss this with you.

How should I use ‘Part 3 – Applying the EIF in different contexts’ when preparing for my inspection?

You should read part 3 alongside parts 1 and 2, which set out inspection principles and methodology.

Part 3 sets out the differences between inspections of childminders and inspections of other settings. It also gives specific guidance on inspections of childminders, which includes how inspectors will gather and record their evidence. For example, it describes what a ‘learning walk’ looks like in a childminder’s setting.

We made this change following feedback, from across the childminding sector, that previous editions of the early years inspection handbook did not set out clearly enough how we inspect childminders under the EIF.

What should I expect from the ‘learning walk’?

The learning walk will take place in the rooms where you provide care and education to children. This gives you an opportunity to explain how you organise the early years curriculum.

How will inspectors look at leadership and management?

You should have an accurate view of the quality of your provision and should know what you need to improve. You do not need to produce a written self-evaluation, but should be prepared to discuss with inspectors the quality of education and care you provide, and how well you meet children’s needs. Inspectors will consider how well you evaluate your provision and know how you can improve it or maintain its high standards.

After the discussion there will be opportunity during the inspection to follow up any matters discussed. To check the accuracy of your view, inspectors will observe children learning, the caring and teaching taking place, and the safety and suitability of the premises. This includes settings where you work with assistants. Inspectors will discuss how you take account of the views of parents and the progress made by children, and what you can do to improve further.

Inspectors will also consider how effectively you use performance management and assessment to identify your own strengths (and those of assistants, if you work with them) and the areas for improvement in the setting. They will consider how well this focuses your professional development activities, particularly in relation to increasing children’s vocabulary and cultural capital.

If you work with assistants, inspectors will gather evidence of the effectiveness of staff supervision, performance management, training and continuing professional development, and the impact of these on children’s well-being, learning and development. This includes evidence of how effectively you engage with any staff and make sure that staff are aware of, and manage, any of the main pressures on them.

Inspectors will use this evidence and their professional judgement to assess how well you improve the quality of provision.

Will I always need to be available to speak to the inspector?

No. Inspectors do not expect you to be immediately available to speak to them at all times. They want to see you operating as you would on any other day, and will work around your usual routines.

Inspectors will talk to you at appropriate moments, when the children are safely occupied. They will be mindful that you have to supervise children and continue to meet their needs during any discussions.

Inspectors want you to have the confidence to do what you do every day. Don’t do anything differently, just because the inspector calls.

Can I achieve a judgement more than 1 grade above my previous inspection outcome?

Yes. You can improve by more than 1 grade. The early years inspection handbook sets out how inspectors will use their professional judgement to weigh up the evidence gathered for each key judgement, and consider it against the grade descriptors, to reach fair and reliable judgements that reflect the quality of provision. If inspectors find during the inspection that a setting has improved by more than 1 grade, they will judge it accordingly.

If I complain about my inspection, will this go against me in my next one?

No. When making inspection judgements, inspectors do not consider any past complaints lodged. Inspectors always act fairly and without bias, and their judgements are based solely on evidence. Inspection reports are also quality assured by other inspectors before they are finalised, to confirm that judgements are firmly supported by evidence. Our quality assurance and complaints procedure is clearly outlined in our early years inspection handbook.

We want to remove any misconceptions and ensure that the inspection process is as clear as possible. It’s in everyone’s interest that inspection helps to deliver a good quality of care for all young children.

Is the notification call the start of my inspection?

No. The notification call is not the start of the inspection. Paragraph 46 of the early years inspection handbook explains that the notification call will be short and focus on practical issues. Inspectors will not use this conversation to start inspecting. They may use it to understand any ongoing impact of COVID-19.

What if I get my notification call at an inconvenient time?

The timing of the notification call is set out in paragraph 196 of the early years inspection handbook. You can agree with the inspector if this is a convenient time to take the call. If the call is broken into 2 shorter calls, the inspector will record who was spoken to in each call and the arrangements that were made.

During the notification call, why do inspectors ask about children I look after?

Although inspectors do not begin to collect evidence during the notification call, they may want to know more information about the children you will be looking after in the next 5 days. This helps them decide when would be the best time to inspect, so that they can make a judgement and report on what it is like at the setting for all children, including disadvantaged children.

Will there be more than 1 inspector at my inspection?

An inspection may be carried out by more than 1 inspector. This may be because of the size or layout of your premises or the number of children on roll. Other reasons include the process of training inspectors, or for quality assurance purposes.

In these situations, the lead inspector will explain why there is more than 1 inspector and explain their role in the inspection.

Do I have to allow inspectors to use their phone during an inspection?

Inspectors do not usually carry their mobile phones around with them while on inspection. You may ask inspectors to hand in their mobile phone if that is in line with your setting’s policy.

Inspectors will agree with you where their mobile phone will be kept during the inspection so that they can use it if they need to. The inspector will reassure you that, if they need to use their mobile phone, for example to contact their regional duty desk or take an emergency call, they will not do this in areas where children are present, to comply with your policy.

Will inspectors ask to see my public liability insurance?

All documents that inspectors must see on inspection are included in paragraph 48 of the early years inspection handbook. The list does not include your public liability insurance certificate; however, inspectors may ask to see proof of certification if there are specific concerns relating to this.

What type of inspection will I have if I only have older children present at the time?

Paragraph 26 of the early years inspection handbook makes clear that if you care for children only on certain days or part days, the inspection should be scheduled on a day when children are present, if practical. Part 3, ‘Applying the EIF in different contexts’, explains that a childminder who only offers before- and after-school care will be inspected without receiving grades against the 4 judgements of the inspection framework. These are: ‘Quality of education’, ‘Behaviour and attitudes’, ‘Personal development’ and ‘Leadership and management’.

If you are operating on an ad-hoc basis, you are likely to receive a ‘no children on roll’ inspection.

Paragraphs 24 to 35 of the early years inspection handbook set out our approach to inspection when there are no children on roll or present on the day of the inspection.

Can I leave the children alone with the inspector?

Inspectors should not be left alone with children. Even though all our inspectors are suitable and safe to be around children, the care of the children is your responsibility throughout an inspection. You should do what you would usually do when visitors are present.

Will the inspector go with me on outings with the children?

Inspectors are tasked with finding out what it is like for a child at the setting, and if an outing is part of the routine for children on the day of the inspection, then inspectors may accompany you. Inspectors will carry out their own risk assessment and use their professional judgement in these situations.

How will inspectors get the views of parents?

Inspectors will use the notification call to check if they will be able to speak with parents at the inspection. They may consider the time that children and parents arrive and set aside time to speak with them. The inspector may also arrange to speak to parents by telephone if this is more convenient for parents. You should make sure you have permission from parents before sharing their telephone number with inspectors.

Fighting cancer, divorce and studying in London: how did the fate of the stars of the TV series “My Fair Nanny”

Nanny Vika – Anastasia Zavorotnyuk

Producers like Natasha from Mariupol initially considered the role of nanny Victoria Prutkovskaya from Mariupol Koroleva, Zhanna Friske, Amalia Mordvinova, Olga Shelest, Evelina Bledans and Nonna Grishaeva. The candidacy of the latter was approved unanimously, but due to employment in the theater, Grishaeva could not take part in the filming. As a result, the choice was made in favor of the then little-known actress Anastasia Zavorotnyuk.

“Nastya was found two weeks before filming began. Then we still laughed that she flew into the last car, ”recalled her colleague in the series Boris Smolkin. A significant role in Zavorotnyuk’s statement was played by her resemblance to actress Fran Drescher, who played the nanny in the original version of the sitcom.

True, unlike her American colleague, she managed to make the image more realistic – after all, not every nanny can afford branded items. Kitsch style, love of life and provincial speech became Zavorotnyuk’s “trump card”. According to the plot, her heroine, after being fired from the boutique, begins to earn extra money by selling cosmetics and successfully drops in on music producer Maxim Shatalin, who offers her to work as a nanny for three children.

During filming, Zavorotnyuk managed to become a mother twice in marriage to businessman Dmitry Stryukov. For some time, the actress had an affair with a colleague on the series, Sergei Zhigunov. The actress broke up with him after meeting her new husband, figure skater Pyotr Chernyshev. In 2018, celebrity colleagues reported that she had been diagnosed with brain cancer. Zavorotnyuk herself stopped appearing in public. Representatives of the actress do not comment on rumors about her health.

When Sergei Zhigunov was invited to play the role of single father Maxim Shatalin, he was already known as the star of the nostalgic TV series Midshipmen, Forward! Despite the fact that it was “My Fair Nanny” that brought the actor wide fame, he himself recalls that period with horror. This was due not so much to his attitude to the show, but to the tedious process: the actors spent almost all the time on the set.

Shatalin’s eldest daughter Maria was played by actress Ekaterina Dubakina. After the success of the show, the girl starred in an episodic role in the melodrama “Heat”, in the TV series “Traffic Light”, “A Little Crazy” and “Method”. For some time, Dubakina played on the stage of the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya and in the Center. Meyerhold, and then for a long time did not remind of herself. In July 2021, she delighted fans with the news of the wedding, without revealing the name of her chosen one.

At the peak of his popularity, the actor decided to leave his hobby and enter a theater school. After graduating from GITIS, he starred in the youth series “Ranetki” in the role of Stepan Beluta. There he met his future wife Anna Rudneva. However, the marriage did not last long. Now the former spouses maintain a relationship for the sake of their daughter Sophia.

In September 2020, Serdyuk changed his occupation and got a job in a car repair shop. “Sometimes I do cars — just for myself, I love old cars. It’s still better than drinking vodka at the entrance,” he shared. The actor spoke about the changes in appearance on the talk show “Hi, Andrey!”: due to severe stress, he went bald, which is why he is rarely recognized on the streets.

The role of the youngest and most erudite daughter in the Shatalin family was embodied on the screen by a native of St. Petersburg, Irina Andreeva, who was 10 years old at the time of filming. After participating in My Fair Nanny, the girl moved to London, where she later graduated from high school, and then from the faculty of international politics at King’s College.

Today in Andreyeva it is difficult to recognize that very girl Ksyusha – she changed her image, dyed her hair blonde. Judging by social networks, she travels a lot, accompanied by her boyfriend, an England rugby player.

The bright duet of the butler Konstantin and secretary Zhanna Arkadyevna was followed by the audience no less than the pair of Maxim and Vika. The performer of the role of the butler, Boris Smolkin, learned about the casting in the series from a friend, a kaveen worker.

“Since I wasn’t spoiled for offers, I went to Moscow to audition. And I went there exactly 9 months! Although later I found out that the Americans, who, together with our producers, conducted the casting, approved me literally from the first day, ”said Smolkin.

In life, the actor also loves to cook and recently took part in the culinary program “Save me, I can’t cook”, where he made dumplings with pink salmon and Bulgarian soup. Despite his fame, Smolkin does not often act in films, preferring the theater. At 73, he continues to live with his second wife, Svetlana.

The role of Vika’s mother was one of Lyubov Polishchuk’s last. At the casting, the actress introduced herself as “Lubov”, the producers realized that there was no need to look for anyone else and approved her, renaming the heroine Svetlana to Lyubov Grigoryevna. The emotional image of the mother was so organic that the audience did not immediately learn about the serious illness of the actress. In 2005, doctors diagnosed Polischuk with spinal cancer. Overcoming severe pain, she came to the shooting in an orthopedic corset. Colleagues noted that the actress rarely complained about her health, and on the shooting of the last episode of the sixth season, where, according to the plot, the wedding of Maxim and Vika took place, she played sitting.

The producers did not look for a replacement for Polishchuk and introduced Vika’s father into the final season. His role was played by Alexander Filippenko, known for the series “Poor Nastya” and the film adaptation of “The Master and Margarita” by Vladimir Bortko.

Filming in the project, according to the actor, became an interesting experience for him, since he had not starred in sitcoms before. Currently, 77-year-old Filippenko plays on the stage of the Gogol Center and occasionally acts in films. Among his recent works is the role of Leonid Brezhnev in the drama World Champion.

  Nanny-teacher or nanny-teacher: what’s the difference?

  Professionals have a pedagogical education. They carry out a comprehensive assessment of the development of the child, identify behavioral defects and their motives, develop a training program, while also performing the role of a nanny. But there are also some differences.

  Functions of a teacher

  Focused on the educational process and the full entry of the child into the group of peers (socialization). Therefore, many believe that a nanny-teacher is a specialist for preschoolers. But the scope of its competence is much wider.

  • He prepares children from 3 months to 7 years old for kindergarten, school, instills the skills of correct behavior, teaches independence.
  • Works with withdrawn, timid children, helping them to liberate themselves and adapt to their studies and preschool.
  • In families where there are conflicts and difficulties in communication between children and parents, he looks for the reason, forms the skills of proper communication.
  • Develops parenting recommendations when needed.
  • Looks after the child in the absence of parents, monitors the observance of the daily routine, is engaged in general development.

  Usually nannies-teachers are specialists in preschool education, child psychologists, social pedagogues.

  Teacher functions

  Nanny-teacher – assistant for schoolchildren. In fact, this is a tutor with the functionality of a nanny.

  Depending on the goals, you can choose a teacher with any education. A nanny-music teacher will help you master the notes, do homework for a music school, or become a private tutor.

  A nanny-teacher of foreign languages ​​will not only explain grammar, but will also allow you to master spoken language much faster, because the child will be able to constantly communicate with her.

  The help of a nanny-teacher in preparing for school, in mastering the program of the gymnasium and private education is invaluable. As a teacher, she will draw up an individual program based on professional diagnostics, include visual (cards, pictures, etc.), game and other elements in teaching for better assimilation of the material by a particular child. As a nanny, she organizes leisure, meals, supervision and daily walks.

  Choosing a specialist: what to look for?

  In order to choose a reliable nanny, sometimes you have to conduct more than one interview. What should you pay attention to first of all?

  • Education, experience working with children. The bigger, the better.
  • Appearance. You should pay attention to the details: long, painted nails, loose hair, unkempt appearance speaks of incompetence.
  • Awards, participation in competitions, victories in disciplines – relevant for those who are looking for a nanny-teacher.
  • Development in the professional field: advanced training, knowledge of modern pedagogical methods, the presence of author’s methods, which famous teachers the candidate is guided by (even if the employer does not know about them, the confidence in the answer and the argumentation of the applicant should be assessed).
