Introduction

This inspection was carried out by Ofsted under Sections 49 and 50 of the Childcare Act 2006 on the quality and standards of the registered early years provision. ‘Early years provision’ refers to provision regulated by Ofsted for children from birth to 31 August following their fifth birthday (the early years age group). The registered person must ensure that this provision complies with the statutory framework for children’s learning, development and welfare, known as the Early Years Foundation Stage.

p.2

Introduction

The provider must provide a copy of this report to all parents with children at the setting where reasonably practicable. The provider must provide a copy of the report to any other person who asks for one, but may charge a fee for this service (The Childcare (Inspection) Regulations 2008 regulations 9 and 10).

Introduction

p.3

Description of the childminding

The childminder is registered to care for one child in the early years age group. She is also registered on both the voluntary and compulsory parts of the Childcare Register. She is currently caring for one young child. The childminder speaks Arabic, English, Persian and Turkish fluently. She has some knowledge of other languages.

p.3

Overall effectiveness of the early years provision

Overall, the quality of the provision is good. The childminder's ability to promote inclusive practice is a key strength and supports children's development. Children make good progress in their learning and their welfare is promoted. The partnership with parents ensures a two-way exchange of information. The childminder makes good use of self-evaluation to assess her practice and its impact on children.

provision

The childminder has an excellent understanding of children's needs. She uses this information effectively to plan activities that support children's learning and development. She has a thorough understanding of relevant procedures that support children's welfare, such as what to do if she has concerns about a child. This ensures that the children she cares for are safeguarded. However, the childminder does not have a dated and reviewed record of her risk assessment, which is a breach of requirements. This inspection was carried out under sections 49 and 50 of the Childcare Act 2006 The childminder has undertaken the initial training course and has implemented plans to attend further training, to improve her knowledge. She evaluates her practice by considering how she can improve her provision for children. However, she has not developed a regular system for recording and reflecting on the improvements she makes. The childminder develops positive relationships with

parents to ensure that children receive continuity of care and that their needs are met.

p.4

The quality and standards of the early years provision

Children's learning and development is promoted well and they make good progress from their starting points. This is because the childminder understands and values their need to communicate and to feel confident and secure. She promotes inclusion in an outstanding way, so that children are valued and included as individuals. Children are well integrated and can achieve because the childminder overcomes any barriers that could hinder them. The childminder respects children's backgrounds and cultures. She supports children who have English as an additional language by learning and speaking words in their home language. At the same time, she encourages children to learn English and helps them to understand the society they live in. This effectively supports and promotes children's learning and development.

The quality and standards of the early years provision

Children enjoy investigating the play dough and explore its texture. They name the shapes that they make with the dough and find the same shapes in books. They play with puzzles and consider how to fit the pieces into the spaces. Children have outings to the local park, where they have opportunities to play on the equipment and socialise with other children. The childminder makes observations of children's abilities and plans for the next steps in their learning, so that she can be confident of their progress.

p.4

The quality and standards of the early years provision

The childminder supplies meals and snacks that reflect children's likes and preferences, but she introduces other foods into the range so that children can enjoy a more varied, healthier diet. This benefits children and helps them to adopt a more positive attitude towards different food. Parents find out about what their children have had to eat and the activities they have enjoyed because the childminder makes time to talk with them at the end of the day. The childminder manages children's behaviour positively by giving lots of praise and encouragement. She addresses any underlying issues that might affect their behaviour and uses simple explanations to help children understand what is expected of them. This inspection was carried out under sections 49 and 50 of the Childcare Act 2006
