National Minimum Standards consultation – Webinar
Following the launch of the consultation on proposals to change elements of the National Minimum Standards for Regulated Childcare, we are going to be holding a webinar to discuss the proposed changes.
- We will be responding to the consultation and would like to ensure that we are able to represent your views effectively within our consultation response.
- Some of the main changes being considered in the consultation are:
- Updating the structure and layout of the NMS to a HTML version with links to relevant regulations and best practice guidance
- Updates to the High-quality provision chapter to further align Early Childhood Play, Learning and Care (ECPLC) principles within the standards
- Introducing a proportionate approach to the NMS requirements of qualified staff and first aid training for Open Access Playwork services, in light of recommendations from the Ministerial Review of Play.
- Updating NMS Standard 12 relating to Medication and the introduction of an additional annex with guidance on administering Liquid Paracetamol
- Clarification on effective deployment of staff across the setting
- Introducing some flexibility on ratios for childminders, and allowing childminders to have one additional child under 5 years but not increase the maximum number
