Regular self-evaluation and reflection is essential when providing a professional childcare service. We must check frequently whether the methods we use are allowing us to deliver the highest quality of care whilst also meeting the requirements of our registration and abiding by current legislation.

Inspectors will expect you to have a clear understanding of the areas in which you perform well, and those where further improvements can be made.

In other words, they will expect you to self-reflect on your provision.

This Self-Reflection Pack will assist you in gathering your thoughts and pin point areas where improvements can be made. Use as a tool to gather ideas and information about your service before completing a more thorough review in relation to your Quality Framework / Early Years Inspection Handbook, or to show your inspector how you regularly self-reflect then take action to make improvements.

Use the Think About Sheets alongside the Self-Reflection Sheets in order to evaluate performance in each of the following areas:

• Staying Safe

• Supporting Healthy Lifestyles

• Encouragement & Achievement

• Promoting Positive Relationships & Responsibility

• Effective Management Of Service

Includes completed examples!

Choose to complete all sections together or perhaps just one section per term and keep together in a file along with the front cover provided ready to show on inspection or refer back to when the time comes to fill in your self-assessment form.

Please see the Further Details tab above for file format and supply information.
