p.1

The provision is inadequate

The childminder demonstrates an awareness of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on children. However, she does not use what she knows about the children to plan their learning effectively. The childminder does not sequence the curriculum sufficiently to make sure children make the best possible progress.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children do not gain sufficient opportunities to develop their self-care skills and struggle to regulate their behaviour. The childminder tries to support children's interests in books. Children enjoy going in the garden and benefit from fresh air and some active play. They enjoy jumping and bouncing on a trampoline. The childminder provides an adequate range of resources for children to access, and they ask for help when needed. Children are happy coming to the childminding provision and form close bonds with the childminder. The childminder does not adequately promote children's welfare, safety and well-being.

n This is the first inspection since the childminder registered. The childminder has not developed her assessment and planning to precisely focus and deliver on individual children's learning and progress. n The childminder identifies that children need more support and help with sharing and taking turns. However, she does not recognise or take effective steps on how to support children to do so. Consequently, children find it difficult to regulate their behaviour and impedes their engagement in many of the activities on offer. For example, the childminder asks them to wait five minutes for their turn when children do not have an understanding of what time is yet. n The childminder recognises that older children are ready to develop their self- care skills. However, she does not provide sufficient opportunities for children to practise these skills, such as dressing and undressing, as part of their daily

routines. This does not prepare them for the next stage in their learning. n Children enjoy looking at books with the childminder on a one-to-one basis. The childminder begins to links the story to explore their emotions and feelings but does not follow this through in practice. Children learn new words and re-call aspects of the story with her. However, the childminder does not take into consideration the children's individual needs. This results in children's enjoyment of books prematurely ending, and they lose interest and become disengaged. n The childminder teaches children to develop early hygiene habits, such as washing their hands after using the toilet and before sitting down for their snack. However, children are at increased risk of cross-infection. The childminder does not consider hygiene risks to children from the open bins, rubbish bags, unclean floors and overflowing kitchen sink with dirty dishes.

12 October 2021 information from parents to make sure she is aware of any dietary requirements. n The childminder does not allow parents to enter the premises due to the COVID- 19 pandemic, to reduce contact. Parents are invited into the porch area where there is information displayed for them about the curriculum. Parents report that they are happy with the childminding provision. n The childminder completes online training. She also has links with the local early years team for support and guidance. The childminder makes sure that her assistants hold a valid current first-aid qualification. However, she does not follow through areas of weak practice identified and does not adequately reflect how she delivers her curriculum.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder does not have a secure understanding of child protection issues and the reporting procedures to follow. She also does not make sure that her assistants have a secure knowledge of child protection to be able to identify and report concerns. The childminder does not adequately monitor her assistants to ensure the vehicles they use are adequately insured. She does not consider health and safety risks within her home effectively, to keep children safe. For example, when the childminder prepares children's lunch, she does not consider the risks the cooker presents when it has hot steam coming from the saucepan near where children are playing. This compromises children's safety.
