Review your child's statutory Scottish Personal Plan — needs, agreed support, and SHANARRI well-being goals — and co-sign it from the Parent App.
If you're registered with a childminder in Scotland, your child has a statutory Personal Plan — a Care Inspectorate document covering their needs, the support your childminder provides, and their well-being goals. It's reviewed and co-signed by both of you every six months, and you'll do your half of that from the KinderStart Parent App.
If your childminder hasn't created a Personal Plan yet, you'll see a note explaining they'll do so within 28 days of your child starting, with a Share Starting Points button — tapping it lets you tell them what you already know about your child before that first plan is written.
Once a plan exists, you'll see:
Your signature and the date are recorded immediately, and the banner switches to Plan Co-Signed & Active.
Co-signing isn't a formality — the Care Inspectorate requires every Scottish childminder to hold an up-to-date, jointly-signed Personal Plan for each child, reviewed at least every 180 days. Signing promptly keeps your childminder compliant and means the plan on file genuinely reflects what you've both agreed.
Once your child has been through more than one review cycle, a Past 6-Month Reviews section lists earlier plans — tap one to see the full detail from that review, including what was agreed and when it was signed. If an older review was somehow never co-signed, you can sign it from there too.
