Partnership Working. 7.1 The local authority will promote partnership working between different types of providers, including childminders, across all sectors and encourage the offer of flexible provision, alongside other providers. 7.2 Providers should work in partnership with parents, carers, and other providers to improve provision and outcomes for children in their setting. An interactive toolkit is available through Coram Family and Childcare, to help providers set up or join a partnership, maximise the benefits of working together and tackle the challenges joint working can bring. 7.3 Providers should discuss and work closely with parents and each other to agree how a child’s overall care will work in practice when their free entitlement is split across different providers, such as at a maintained setting and childminder, to ensure a smooth transition for the child.
