p.1

The provision is inadequate

Children's safety is not assured because the childminder has not informed Ofsted about all household members living in her home. This potentially exposes children to adults who have not had any suitability checks completed, putting children at risk.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children benefit from activities that are planned specifically for them. They have good relationships with the childminder. They tell her when they would like a drink or a snack. Children cuddle up to the childminder when they need reassurance. Children behave well and they respond positively when the childminder explains her expectations for their behaviour. For example, children move toys onto the playmat when the childminder explains that rubbing them along the wooden floor may scratch it. Children spend sustained periods of time engaging with activities that interest them. For example, children construct different shapes with magnetic tiles. They respond positively to the childminder when she asks them questions. Children are supported to develop a healthy lifestyle. They go on many walks out and about in the local area. The childminder talks to children about healthy foods they enjoy, such as grapes they eat for snack, so that they develop their

n The childminder is not clear on the process to follow when she has new household members. As a result, children may come into contact with people who are not known to Ofsted and have not had their suitability checked. This potentially puts children at risk. n The childminder finds out about the opportunities children have at home. She recognises that children do not always have the opportunity to grow their own vegetables at home. Through growing food, children find out about where food comes from. They take home the food they have grown to share with their parents. Through these activities, the childminder broadens children's experiences. n Children feel confident to explore the resources available to them in the childminder's home. However, the childminder has not yet fully considered opportunities for children to be independent. She takes their coats and jumpers off for them. At lunchtime, she feeds children a yoghurt using a spoon. This

means children do not routinely have the chance to have a go themselves and develop their independence skills. n The childminder interacts with the children throughout the day. They cuddle up to her as she reads familiar stories to them. She encourages them to lift the flaps in books and turn the pages carefully. Children ask for 'more books' as they enjoy the stories. They copy the words the childminder says which develops

26 January 2022 their vocabulary. However, at times the childminder does not use the correct words for objects. For example, the childminder calls a cow a 'moo'. This means children are not helped to make the best possible progress with their speech and language development. n Children develop their early counting skills through the many opportunities available to them. When putting shapes in a shape sorter, the childminder encourages children to count as they do this. When sharing out toys between them, the childminder encourages children to use mathematical language, such as 'one more'. Children later practise their counting skills independently as they count blocks when they build a box. n Parents are positive about their experience with the childminder. They comment that the childminder spent time asking about their children's likes and dislikes before they started. Parents feel that this really supported their children to settle

in with the childminder. Parents comment that any messages from school are always passed on. There is good communication between the childminder and other settings children attend. n The childminder can identify what she does well. However, she cannot identify the weaknesses in her practice. She has attended some training since her last inspection, such as training about what to inform Ofsted of. However, this training has not had an impact on her practice, as she has not recognised there is a breach of requirements regarding household members.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder has not informed Ofsted of all adults living on the premises, which is a safeguarding risk. Children could come into contact with people who have not had their suitability checked. That said, she is aware of the signs and symptoms of abuse and who to report any concerns to. The childminder understands what female genital mutilation is and what signs children may display. She keeps up-to- date records of the times children attend. The childminder regularly practises a fire drill with children to ensure they know how to exit the home quickly and safely in the event of an emergency. She considers the risks that may be present in her home and garden and reduces these.
