p.1

The provision requires improvement

Overall, children enjoy their time in this lively setting. They choose from a wide range of resources and have opportunities to find their own way of doing things. For example, children work together to make houses from construction materials. The childminder places a strong emphasis on teaching children about their bodies and healthy lifestyles. Each day, they enjoy a yoga and exercise session. Children think about how their muscles stretch and how their breathing increases and slows down. The childminder reminds them to drink to keep them hydrated.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

The childminder gathers information about children's interests and stage of development from parents and takes these into account when planning her curriculum. However, children are not supported to make the best possible progress because the curriculum is not implemented effectively. Also, at times, some children present unwanted behaviour, which is disruptive and not managed consistently. As a result, other children do not always benefit from positive interactions to enhance their play and learning.

The provision requires improvement

Parents are positive about the setting. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the childminder provided them with activities to support children's learning at home. She lends parents resources, such as children's favourite books so that they can read them with their children.

n Some children have been absent from the setting during the pandemic. The childminder finds out from parents what children already know and can do. She discusses any gaps in children's learning. The childminder also finds out what children are working on in school. She uses the information to plan a varied curriculum that covers all areas of learning. However, the childminder does not implement her curriculum effectively. Learning is child-led and children access resources that interest them, but their play is not supported by high-quality interactions from the childminder. n The childminder reminds children of the rules and encourages them to be kind to each other. They take responsibility for routine tasks, such as helping to tidy their toys away. Older children sometimes encourage younger children in their play. For example, they roll a ball to each other. However, on occasions, children shout over other children when they try to speak and take toys from them. The

childminder does not manage this behaviour consistently and, consequently, it disrupts children's learning. n During physical activities, the childminder introduces familiar rhymes to engage the youngest children. They use blocks to clap along to the rhythm, and squeal with excitement as they stamp their feet. These are lively activities that children

24 February 2022 of all ages enjoy. Children enjoy playing with water outside. They chat together as they empty and fill containers. The childminder adds bubbles and children use the liquid to make bubbly puddles. Children develop their physical skills when they use swings and climb up steps to the slide. n The childminder shares favourite books with children. She talks to them about the pictures. Babies babble as they turn the pages. The childminder speaks slowly and gives children time to respond. She introduces rhymes to children as they read and encourages them to repeat the sounds she makes. The childminder also uses stories to support children in counting and recognising numbers. n The childminder promotes good hygiene routines. She explains to children why they must wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet. The childminder helps children to put on their coats and shoes and fasten zips and

buttons, so that they can dress themselves when they go to school. n The childminder provides children with resources that support their understanding of their community. She talks to them about people who help us, such as police officers and medical professionals. Children enjoy regular visits to shops and meet people within the community. The childminder talks to children about their families and friends. n The childminder is keen to improve her skills. She is currently undertaking an early years qualification to increase her knowledge and understanding.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder has a suitable understanding of safeguarding, reporting procedures and wider child protection issues. She shares her policies and procedures with parents when children start in the setting. The childminder teaches children about how to keep themselves safe, for example when accessing information online. She teaches children about their bodies and helps them understand that their body belongs to them. Children learn to risk assess for themselves when using large play equipment during visits to the local park.
