p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n Since her last inspection, the childminder has not taken action to update her knowledge and understanding about broader safeguarding issues. She has little awareness of female genital mutilation, online safety and the 'Prevent' duty. This means the childminder would not identify and act upon signs that a child is being abused in these ways. This compromises children's welfare. n Other than mandatory training, the childminder has not accessed any other training opportunities. She does not evaluate her provision and identify training, which would support her to deliver a rich and varied curriculum. She is aware she needs to update her knowledge to enable her to deliver a wide range of experiences for children. However, she has not considered how to strengthen her skills to ensure children are supported in all areas of their learning and development. n The childminder explains how she reviews children's progress. However, she

does not use this information to identify appropriate learning opportunities, which build on children's prior knowledge and skills. n The childminder fails to maintain all required records for childminding to ensure children's needs are met and their welfare is maintained. She does not record the hours children are in her care. n The childminder reports that she speaks with parents on a daily basis to inform them about their child's day. However, she has not considered how she can support children's learning at home. In addition, she has not thought about how she can work with other settings that children attend. This does not support children to make the best possible progress. n Parents report positively about the care provided by the childminder. They explain that their children are happy to attend the setting and are able to talk to them about the activities they engage in. Parents highlight how the childminder

has supported their children with toilet training and reducing the use of a dummy. n The childminder has created a welcoming environment for children. She explains that she takes steps to ensure the environment is safe and hygienic. She supports children to practise good hygiene by taking measures to increase handwashing, as a result of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. n The childminder helps prepare children for school by ensuring they are emotionally prepared and reassured for this transition. She ensures children are able to manage basic self-care skills before attending school. n The childminder explains how she encourages children's good manners and behaviour. She also supports children to take turns and be kind to their friends.

23 July 2021 There were no children present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
