p.1

The provision is inadequate

Children feel settled and secure in the care of this childminder. However, she does not plan a clear programme of learning for children. The childminder does not demonstrate an understanding of how young children learn and develop. For example, children do not participate in enough physical activities during the day. There are too many instances where their play lacks a clear intention for their learning. The quality of education that the childminder provides is not good enough.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

The childminder builds warm relationships with children. They approach her for cuddles or enjoy snuggling up for a story with her. However, the childminder does not provide sufficiently stimulating and engaging activities for children to take part in. This means that they become bored at times. Children display this boredom by throwing toys around the room.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

The childminder is able to identify risks but does not take action to mitigate these. For example, tiles in the toilet are cracked and loose. This means that there are hazards within the setting which pose risks to children.

need to do better?

n Since the last inspection, the childminder has made some improvements in her interactions with children. For example, she now sings songs, read stories and talks about what children are doing as they play. However, the childminder does not understand how to teach children what they need to learn in their communication and language. For example, she does not have clear strategies in place to help children begin to speak in sentences. This means that they do not reach their potential in their communication and language. n The childminder does not have a clear understanding of what children should learn in order to develop their physical skills. The childminder does not plan activities which support children to improve their gross motor skills inside. There are not enough opportunities for children to move their bodies throughout the day. The childminder does not plan opportunities for children to develop their

fine motor skills. This impacts on the progress that they make in their physical development. n The childminder does not know how to assess what children know and need to know next in their learning journey. Therefore, she does not plan opportunities for children based on these next steps. This means that children do not make enough progress in their learning and development. n The childminder does not plan for children to develop their independence. For example, she has a range of resources but they are not organised in a way that allows children to access them independently. The childminder feeds young

3 March 2022 children instead of teaching them to feed themselves. This means that children do not make good progress in their personal development. n The childminder provides verbal feedback to parents about what children have been doing each day. For example, she shares which books children enjoy and encourages parents to read the same books to them at home. However, the childminder lacks understanding of what children have learned and the next steps of their learning journey. Therefore, she is unable to share this information with parents. This means that parents do not have a good understanding of the progress their child is making at the setting. n The childminder has not taken swift enough action since the last inspection to improve her practice. She has had some support from the local authority and has re-read the early years foundation stage document. However, the childminder has not planned a sufficiently robust programme of professional

development for herself. This means that she is not yet able to provide children with an early years education which will give them the best start in life.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder has recently attended safeguarding training. She now understands how to identify if a child may be at risk of abuse and how to make a referral to the relevant authorities, should it be necessary. The childminder knows what to do if there is an allegation about an adult. The childminder does not ensure that good hygiene procedures are followed. For example, she does not clean children's hands before they eat their food. This puts children at risk of cross-contamination and compromises their safety and welfare.
