The provision requires improvement

The childminder is kind, warm and caring towards the children. Children are well settled and feel safe with her. They reach out to her for comfort when they feel upset and she speaks gently and calmly to them. The childminder arranges toys and equipment at low level for younger children to access freely. Children have fun and enjoy role play, particularly with dolls, pushchairs and accessories. The childminder makes regular safety checks in the play environment. However, she does not always consider the level of supervision required and the possible risks to children when household pets are present. The childminder provides a variety of outings where children enjoy collecting natural objects. Children recall finding conkers under the tree and later use these to make marks on paper with paint. However, teaching is variable. Not all children benefit from quality interactions during activities and at other times during the day. Children explore a range of

musical instruments and shake maracas and bang drums along to songs and music. However, the childminder misses opportunities to extend their enjoyment and motivate them to learn. The childminder assesses children's learning and shares this with parents. She uses this information to decide what children need to learn next and plan activities to support them to progress. All children, including those in receipt of funding, are gaining some of the skills they need for their future learning.

n Although the childminder interacts with children, she frequently misses opportunities to talk and engage them in conversation. As a result, younger children do not develop their emerging speech, or a clear pronunciation of words, as rapidly as is possible. n Children are learning to follow personal hygiene routines as the childminder wipes their hands and faces and changes their nappies. The childminder knows the children well and is attentive to their care needs. n The childminder has built strong relationships with children and their families. Parents are happy with the care their children receive and say that the childminder is reliable, flexible and caring. They say that their children love attending and that they like the pieces of work children bring home. n Children behave well. They listen to the childminder and respond well when she offers guidance. They are learning to play well together and wait while others

She provides parents with written daily information about their children's care needs and what they have enjoyed doing each day. n The childminder consults parents about her provision. However, she does not use this information to evaluate her provision effectively, to clearly identify areas for improvement and to raise the learning outcomes for children to a higher

4 October 2019 level. n The childminder is inclusive. She is knowledgeable about how to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. She works together with and regularly meets with parents and other professionals to provide targeted support for children in her care. n The childminder's home is organised well, and children have plenty of space to play and explore. Her garden is safe and secure and children have opportunities to run about and be physically active. Children select and play with toys that interest them. They climb in and out of the tents that the childminder has set up. However, the childminder does not supervise children effectively when household pets are present. As a result, potential risks to children are not considered or minimised. n The childminder has a range of age-appropriate toys and equipment to support children's learning, including resources that depict a range of differences and

abilities in our diverse communities. Children celebrate and talk about a variety of festivals. This helps children to understand the similarities and differences in those around us.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The childminder has recently attended safeguarding training, including guidance relating to the wider child protection issues. She has a secure understanding of the procedures she would follow in the event of a concern about a child or an adult working with children. The childminder uses an up-to-date safeguarding policy which is written in line with local safeguarding arrangements. She has a range of other policies and well-maintained documentation which help her to promote children's welfare.
