From this week inspectors can make unannounced visits to childminders.This already happens in England. Inspections will usually take place beevery two years rather than annually.
For children's homes the inspection will follow a self-assessment by theservice provider. The focus of the inspection will vary depending onwhat issues are identified.
The new inspection process will focus much more on the day-to-dayexperiences of children using the services.
