p.1

The provision requires improvement

Children are confident and happy in the childminder's care. Children excitedly run into the childminder's home to find their favourite toys and quickly settle into their chosen play. Children make secure relationships with the childminder and the other children who attend. The childminder provides a well-resourced environment to allow children to make their own choices. She uses the children's interests well to engage them in further learning. However, she does not extend this by helping parents to understand what their children need to learn next. Children develop a love of stories. They listen and giggle as the childminder uses different voices and actions. Older children enjoy joining in with telling the story as the childminder intentionally misses out words for them to fill. Children behave well. They are kind and considerate of each other and are able to share and take turns with the toys independently. Older children ask younger children politely if they would like to

swap toys so that they each have something to play with.

The provision requires improvement

There was a period during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic when the childminder was only open to some children due to COVID-19 restrictions and not all children were able to attend. During this time, the childminder continued to keep in contact with the children and their families. She sent children videos, including a video introducing the children to the new pet chickens. This helped to maintain relationships and helped children to settle back into the setting quickly.

n The childminder supports children's physical development well. For example, she encourages children as they climb over the climbing frame. Even the youngest children persevere as they climb over the top to reach the slide on the other side. The childminder stays close by to supervise children and to be on hand to catch them if they slip. However, she does not talk to children about risks and how to keep themselves safe, as older children take more risks and do not hold on with both hands. n Since her last inspection, the childminder has developed her procedures to meet the previous actions set. However, there are other areas of her practice which she needs to improve. She does not evaluate her provision effectively to ensure that she is meeting all of the requirements of her registration. She does not keep records of all children's details, such as the names and addresses of all parents and carers, and who has parental responsibility for the child. The

childminder does, however, have contact numbers for parents and the children's dates of birth recorded, so that she is able to summons help in the case of an emergency. n The childminder supervises children effectively during their play and activities. She stays close to them to keep them safe. However, she does not fully consider

She provides a wide range of activities and experiences for children, using their interests well to provide activities that engage children in purposeful learning opportunities. Children concentrate as they play with the compost and pots in the garden. Older children enjoy using the magnifying glasses to look at the insects that they find in the compost. They look at how they can save the 'wriggly worms from the birds above'. Younger children concentrate as they spend time pouring water between the pots, exploring how they can stop the water from spilling out. n The childminder knows the children well. She works closely with parents to get to know the children's routines and interests. Parents are happy with the care that their children receive. However, the childminder does not extend this

partnership working, to inform parents about their children's progress and to share ideas with how they can support their children's learning at home. n The childminder skilfully supports children's language and communication development. She models language well and asks a range of questions, encouraging children to use a wide range of language. Children respond well to this. Younger children follow instructions well and older children can hold conversations and question things that interest them.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder understands her responsibility to keep children safe. She takes part in safeguarding training and has procedures in place to refer to. The childminder recognises the indicators that may suggest that a child is at risk of harm and she knows how to escalate any concerns that may arise about children's welfare. The childminder completes some risk assessments of her home and outings that she takes the children on. She supervises children well, to help keep them safe.
