p.1

The provision is inadequate

Children's safety is not assured and their learning and development needs are not met. The childminder does not demonstrate an understanding of how to plan and provide learning experiences that ensure children make good progress. Despite this, children do enjoy some activities. They like building a tower with the childminder and they wave their hands in excitement when they attach more blocks and the tower gets tall. However, for much of the time they are not engaged in the activities provided and they do not show interest in what they are doing. This means that children are not benefiting from the play and learning experiences provided. The childminder does not take into account children's interests when she decides what play opportunities to provide for them.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Despite the weaknesses, children's personal, social and emotional needs are mostly met. Children are cared for in a warm and welcoming home. They are happy and move confidently around the setting. The childminder knows their care needs well. She identifies when children are hungry and knows when they are tired. She meets their personal care needs promptly. Children cuddle up to the childminder as they get ready to sleep, and she responds warmly.

need to do better?

n The childminder is not meeting some of the safeguarding and welfare requirements of the early years foundation stage. For example, her safeguarding knowledge is weak in some areas and she has not kept Ofsted informed about all adults living in the household. This puts children at risk. n The childminder knows children well and has some understanding of what they are able to do. However, she does not use what she knows to plan and provide activities that meet children's individual learning needs or help them make their next steps. Therefore, children do not make the good progress they could across all areas of learning. The childminder often misses opportunities to deepen children's learning because she is not fully involved in their play. She does not talk to children about what they are doing and does not make the most of chances to model conversation or introduce new language. n The childminder does not have a clear understanding of the weaknesses in the

setting to allow her to take steps to improve. She does not identify what she could do to engage children properly and promote their learning. She does not accurately identify gaps in her own knowledge and understanding of how to support children in their learning and development. n Children are not provided with activities that are based on their likes and interests. As a result, they do not engage well in what is offered and quickly become disinterested in what they are doing. Children move constantly from one activity to another. They do not start to learn how to persevere in their play.

7 March 2022 n The childminder does not provide a suitable environment for learning. Children are regularly distracted from their play by the loud background noise when the television is on. n Children are not sufficiently safe in the childminder's home. She completes a risk assessment of the premises and ensures that they are safe and secure. However, she does not fully consider other aspects of keeping children safe in her risk assessments, such as the level of supervision that is necessary when children play with particular resources. n Overall, the childminder has a range of policies and procedures to support her practice. She keeps thorough records of any accidents that happen and of medication given. n Children learn to manage their behaviour. The childminder asks them to get down from the sofa when they are jumping and they happily follow her instruction. Overall, they behave very well in the setting.

p.2

need to do better?

n Children benefit from the relationships between the childminder and their families. The childminder knows families well and works with them to meet children's basic care needs. Parents feel positive about their children's time with the childminder. They comment that their child is 'always happy' in her care and that the childminder is 'very caring'.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Children are not safeguarded effectively because the childminder does not know how to manage any allegations of harm that may be made against herself or a member of her household. In addition, the childminder has not taken the required steps to ensure that all adults who live in the household are suitable to be in contact with children. However, the childminder does have an understanding of the signs and symptoms that may raise concerns that a child is at risk of harm or abuse. She knows the processes to follow if she has any concerns about what a child may be experiencing outside of the setting.
