p.1

The provision requires improvement

Children are happy and show that they feel safe and emotionally secure. Some children are confident to show what they know and can do. For example, they sing their favourite songs to their peers and adults. Children receive lots of praise for their efforts. However, at times, children miss out on good-quality educational experiences. Some of the activities are not planned well enough. They do not provide children with a suitable level of challenge. Children quickly lose interest and become disengaged. The available space is not managed as effectively as possible, which, at times, leads to a disorderly environment. This reduces children's learning and enjoyment. Children do not make the progress of which they are capable. Nonetheless, they gain some understanding of numbers. They are encouraged to count during play. Overall, children have positive attitudes. However, the childminder does not promote the highest expectations for all children. For

example, she does not consistently encourage children to take responsibilities, such as at mealtimes. As a result, children do not gain good levels of independence. Children develop a sense of right and wrong. They learn the rules and boundaries within the setting. Children behave appropriately.

n Since the last inspection, the childminder has increased the opportunities for children to learn about diversity and the wider world. For example, she offers children a variety of books, posters and role-play equipment that positively reflect other cultures and backgrounds. The childminder is proactive in encouraging children to use their home language during play. This helps children to understand the similarities and differences between themselves and others. n The childminder observes and assesses children's learning. However, she does not always plan an educational programme that is sufficiently challenging and engaging for all children. Some children are not consistently motivated to learn and play. n Children's good health is not assured. This is because the childminder does not follow effective hygiene practices. For example, on a few occasions, children use the same towel to dry their hands. This does not help to prevent the spread of

germs and infection. That said, children have opportunities for exercise and fresh air that support their physical development. n The childminder uses appropriate strategies to address minor disputes between children, preventing them from escalating. One of the ways she does this is by encouraging children to play cooperatively. Children are beginning to show an understanding of the effects of their behaviour on others. n Children form positive relationships with their peers and adults in the setting. They receive lots of cuddles and reassurance, which support their emotional well-being effectively.

6 March 2020 n The childminder and her co-childminder work well with parents. They share relevant information with parents to keep them informed about their children's learning and development. Parents praise the childminder and her co- childminder highly in their written feedback. They say that they are 'extremely happy' with the service that they and their children receive. n The childminder and her co-childminder do not make the best possible use of the available space. On some occasions, this limits children's learning and enjoyment. n The childminder promotes her continuous professional development. For example, she completed training that helped her to gain a better understanding of how to support children's speaking skills, including those with additional needs. This helps children to develop their communication and language skills. n At times, the childminder and her co-childminder do not make effective use of

opportunities that arise to encourage children to take responsibility for small tasks. This does not fully support children's independence skills. n The childminder evaluates the quality of the provision with her co-childminder. However, this is not rigorous enough. They have not identified the weaknesses in their practice. Nevertheless, the childminder and her co-childminder show positive attitudes to raising standards for the benefit of the children.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder takes appropriate steps to ensure the safety of children in her care. For example, she checks that the fire detection and control equipment in her home is in working condition. The childminder attends training to keep abreast of child protection issues. She shows a suitable knowledge of signs and symptoms of abuse and the reporting procedures to protect a child's welfare. The supervision of children is effective. The childminder ensures that children are within her sight or hearing to help keep them safe. However, the childminder does not ensure that children's good health is sufficiently supported.
