Early Years Foundation Stage Checklist for Registered Childminders

Children learn best when they are healthy, safe and secure, when their individual needs are met and when they have positive relationships with the adults caring for them. The Early Years Foundation Stage safeguarding and welfare requirements, specified in this section, are designed to help providers create high quality settings which are welcoming, safe and stimulating, and where children are able to enjoy learning and to grow in confidence (EYFS, 2014). The EYFS requirements do not override or remove any obligations providers have arising from any other relevant legal requirements including health and safety legislation.

This EYFS setting checklist can be used to support you in reviewing your working practices, including paperwork and doc umentation. It is not an exhaustive list of Ofsted or EYFS requirements and you should ensure you have a working knowle dge of these at all times. We suggest that you have a copies of the following when working through this checklist: Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage (2014): http://www.foundationyears.org.uk/eyfs-statutory-frame work/ - The common inspection framework: education, skills and early years: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ofsted - Inspecting safeguarding in early years, education and skills settings: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/inspecting-safeguarding-in-early-years-education-and-skills-from-september- 2015 - Early years inspection handbook: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ofsted Other supporting documents, such as the List Of Providers Guidance, can be accessed at: http://www.suffolkcpd.co. uk
