Comment

There are currently 5 childminders, 2 day nurseries and 1 pre-school awaiting their first Ofsted inspection. Not all providers have been inspected within the current inspection cycle (September 2013 – August 2016). The local development team continue to support those settings who have a ‘satisfactory’ (which was replaced by a ‘Requires Improvement’ outcome on 4th November 2013) or an inadequate Ofsted outcome. Childminders with ‘requires improvement and inadequate’ outcomes continue to be supported by Pacey.

This quarter has seen a total of 3 early years’ inspections. Of the inspections 33% (1 day nursery) retained and ‘outstanding’ outcome, 67% (1 childminders and 1 day nursery) received a ‘good’ outcome. Of these inspections 2 resulted in a retention of their previous judgement and the other resulted in a day nursery moving from ‘inadequate’ to ‘good’.

Development of provision for children with Special Needs

Hampshire Service for Young Children Inclusion Team is committed to ensuring that all eligible children are able to attend an early years or childcare setting, irrelevant of any disability or additional support need.

The Inclusion Team provides support in the child’s local setting or the setting that a parent choices. However where a child’s needs cannot be met by a provider we will work with the Childcare and Family Information Team to support the identification of an appropriate alternative.

The Inclusion Team use a range of resources to encourage all settings to be able to provide quality care for all children. This includes the provision of additional funding through the Childcare Inclusion Funding (ChIF) award process, direct support from the Area Inclusion Coordinator team, outreach support from one of the contracted expert providers, support from the Portage Service and training or support groups.

Statement of Inclusion
Hampshire SfYC Inclusion Team is committed to ensuring that all eligible children are able to attend an early years or childcare setting irrelevant of any disability or additional support need. Ideally we would see this happening in the child’s local setting or parents choice of setting, however where a child’s needs cannot be met by this provider we will work with the CFIT team to support the identification of an appropriate alternative.
The Inclusion Team will use a range of resources to ensure that all settings are able to provide quality care for all children. This comprises of direct support from the Area Inco team, support from the Portage Service or support from Portage Outreach, training or support groups. ChIF is only available to settings with no financial reserves when supporting children with severe/profound support needs.
