The provision requires improvement

While there are no significant risks to children's safety and welfare, the childminder does not keep a written record each time she administers medication to children and does not keep a written record of all accidents or injuries, and first-aid treatment. These are breaches of requirements. However, the childminder does gain written permission from parents to administer a medicine. She verbally informs them each time medication is given and any accidents sustained, to help promote their safety. Children's social skills are supported well. Mixed ages of children play and learn happily alongside each other and they behave well. They willingly share and take turns with toys and enthusiastically help the childminder with routines. For example, children fetch each other's shoes and eagerly help to tidy away toys. Children benefit from consistent daily routines the childminder constantly provides. They build secure attachments with her and feel safe and

happy in her care. This helps support children's emotional well-being and they behave well. Very young children eagerly explore their environment and move safely and with confidence. All children are motivated and eager to learn. They grow in confidence and enjoy their time with the childminder.

n The childminder builds positive partnerships with parents. She shares daily detailed information with them for a consistent approach, for example daily care routines and learning. However, she has failed to share with parents a short written summary of children's development when they are aged two, to help swiftly identify any emerging concerns. This is a breach of requirements. Even though the childminder knows children well and what she plans for them to learn next, she does not identify their starting points to precisely monitor their development and help them make the best progress they can. n Children make progress across all areas of learning and development. The childminder rotates a wide range of resources regularly to help keep children engaged and interested. Children are eager and motivated learners. For example, very young children show curiosity as they keenly explore metal objects, press buttons and turn cogs on a toy phone. Older children engage in

imaginative play based on their first-hand experiences. The childminder follows children's interests. She quickly responds to how they play. The childminder models play with resources to extend their thinking and help give children ideas to use themselves. For example, she encourages children to make a pretend cup of tea. However, the childminder does not give clear explanations to the youngest children when there is a change in routines, to further promote their personal development and help them understand what is happening next. n Children's early mathematical skills are supported well. The childminder challenges children to recognise and find numbers up to 10 and colours. Children

8 October 2019 correctly identify the number four and ask the childminder how old she is. They keenly look for more numbers. n Older children confidently communicate effectively and speak with increasing fluency. They keenly chat during mealtimes about their experiences at home and confidently use new words. For example, children listen intently as other children provide a clear explanations about their own experiences, such as kayaking. n Children enjoy listening to stories they choose themselves. The childminder challenges them to point to and count in order 'crickets' in the book. The youngest children enjoy listening to the story and spending time in the company of others. Older children are considerate of others, for example they consider if younger children can see the pictures as they turn the pages. n Children benefit from wholesome, nutritional home-cooked meals to further promote good health and eating healthily. Children thoroughly enjoy freshly

prepared vegetable soup. They use good manners for their ages and stages of development and wait for each other to finish. This helps them gain self-control and respect others. The childminder promotes children's self-help skills, particularly during daily routines. For instance, older children confidently wash their hands and keenly put on their shoes. n The childminder accesses training to improve her teaching skills and knowledge further. For example, she attends network meetings with other childcare professionals to discuss childcare matters and share good practice.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The childminder knows how to keep children safe and promote their welfare. She maintains up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding and wider child protection concerns through regular training. This helps her identify, understand and respond to signs of possible abuse and neglect in a timely manner. The childminder clearly explains her role to protect children from extreme views and beliefs. She knows the correct local reporting procedures to raise her concerns about a child's safety and welfare. The premises are secure and the childminder carries out daily checks of the environments to ensure they remain safe for children to use.
