p.1

The provision is inadequate

Children's safety is compromised. The childminder has not identified specific hazards in the rear garden that potentially could cause harm to children. She does not ensure that reasonable steps are taken so that children are not exposed to potential risks, such as large holes in the decking and a broken balustrade. Children do not understand how to keep themselves safe. The childminder does not keep up to date with changes to local safeguarding agencies and their relevant guidance.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

The childminder knows what children can do and what they need to learn next, such as develop their confidence when speaking in a group situation. However, she does not consistently implement this in practice. Children do not always have enough time to respond to the childminder's questions before she answers them for children. This impacts on developing their thinking skills and expressive speech. Children do not make the best possible progress in their communication and language development.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children behave well. They respect the needs of others and wait patiently for their turn with the resources. Children develop close friendships as they play collaboratively together. For example, they play with the doctors play equipment, pretending to listen to their heartbeats with the stethoscope. Children develop confidence and self-esteem; they react positively to the childminder's consistent praise for their achievements.

n The childminder provides opportunities for children to visit the local park to support their physical and emotional health. Although she has attended some online training related to physical development, too many children play at the same time on the trampoline in her garden. The childminder does not follow the manufacturer's instructions and comply with the requirements of health and safety legislation. She does not keep up to date with changes to local safeguarding agencies and their relevant guidance. Breaches in the statutory requirements have an impact on keeping children safe. n The childminder does not evaluate what children learn and remember from the activities she plans. Consequently, the childminder does not know the impact of her curriculum and if the quality of teaching is fully effective, and if the learning intentions have been met. For example, she does not ask children at the end of

a cooking activity if they remember the names of the ingredients to help them learn new words. Therefore, the childminder is unable to assess children's learning thoroughly. n Overall, children have an appropriate understanding of a range of mathematical concepts and language ready for the next stage in their learning. For example,

22 October 2021 they recite numbers, name shapes and know some mathematical language for size. When children roll out their pizza bases, they confidently say, 'Mine are getting bigger'. However, at times, the childminder tends to do things for the children that they can do themselves. For example, she weighs and puts all the ingredients in their bowls for them to manipulate it into a ball. This limits children's opportunities to be independent and develop essential skills for their future. n The childminder does not have a wide range of books or present books inspiringly enough for children to make independent choices and develop a love of reading. This is highlighted when she gets out the book box and children then want a story. n Children freely access writing materials to help develop their emerging writing skills. They persevere in their chosen task and concentrate appropriately when drawing their picture with chalks. Older children can write their name.

n The childminder arranges for children to meet other children and widen their social and cultural awareness about the community in which they live. However, she has very few resources to help children learn about the similarities and differences among people and how they live. n Parents provide their children's meals. The childminder works closely with them to ensure the meals and drinks offered to children are healthy and promote their good oral health. Children manage their own personal hygiene routines. They wash their hands after activities and before meals, climbing up a small stepladder to reach the kitchen sink. n Effective information sharing between the childminder and parents before children start to find out what they know and can do, helps children settle quickly. Children are happy and form close bonds with the childminder. Parents are informed regularly about their children's progress which supports home

learning. She liaises with the local nursery that children attend to develop a consistent approach for their learning.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Although the childminder has recently attended safeguarding training, she is not aware of the change in name from Local Safeguarding Children's Board to Kent Safeguarding Children Multi-Agency Partnership. The childminder has not updated her safeguarding policy to reflect recent changes in local authority reporting protocols. She does not have a highly secure understanding of the signs and symptoms of suspected child abuse and who to report her concerns. The childminder understands about some of the wider safeguarding issues, such as behavioural indicators related to radicalisation and extremism. The childminder does not ensure her risk assessment identifies specific issues in the outdoor environment. Children are not kept safe.
