p.1

The provision is inadequate

The childminder does not fully consider and implement all aspects of the early years foundation stage requirements effectively. As a result, children's safety, well- being and learning and development are not secure. Children do have access to a wide range of resources and these are all accessible so that they can make choices and follow their interests. However, much of the learning is incidental and does not follow on from their next steps. Therefore, children do not consolidate their knowledge.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children, the childminder and assistant do have warm, caring relationships. The childminder knows children well. Children are cuddled and comforted as and when needed and they feel secure, shown by the way they approach the adults to chat or ask for help.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

The childminder has flexibly adapted her setting owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents do not currently come into the play areas. However, the childminder shares information with parents about their children on a regular basis through discussions and the use of social media sites. This promotes continuity of care.

n The childminder does not maintain documentation effectively for the safe management of the setting and care of the children. Accident records are not kept up to date and there is no record of the names, times and dates of children's attendance, including who is looking after them. In addition, the childminder does not obtain the required information from parents to ensure that children are cared for safely. She does not obtain emergency contact details, name, address, parent details, who has parent responsibility and who the child normally lives with. Consequently, children are not protected. n Children are not not always supervised effectively. For example, some children use scissors inappropriately and they are not always secured in the highchair. This does not ensure that children are safe at all times. n The childminder does not review and monitor the provision effectively and this has led to breaches in the requirements. However, children's views are taken

into consideration. For example, children influence the activities and food provided. n The childminder's planning of the curriculum does not clearly focus on extending what children already know and can do. This means that there are no clear learning outcomes for many of the activities. Some activities are too challenging for the children and this leads to them losing interest. Consequently, this affects children's ability to make good progress. n Children's communication and language skills are supported well. The

14 March 2022 childminder and her assistant talk with children about what they are doing to help link words to actions. Children learn new words, such as 'seahorse' as they play with the animals. n The childminder and her assistant encourage children's physical skills well. Children climb with confidence, use bikes and develop fine-muscle movements as they thread discs onto a lace. n Children learn to cooperate, take turns and share. They work together as they gather the animals into a container and carry this outdoors to play. They are praised for their efforts, which boosts their self-esteem and confidence. n Children have suitable opportunities to develop their independence. They are encouraged to choose activities they wish to do and help tidy up the resources before lunch time. Resources are all easily accessible in the designated playroom and children help themselves. n Children learn about people's differences and similarities effectively. They play

with a range of resources that positively represent diversity. They also look at different festivals and cultures from around the world. This helps children value and respect others. n The childminder works well with other professionals involved in children's care and learning. For example, she has contact with the special educational needs coordinator to support the development of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

There are breaches in the safeguarding and welfare requirements, which means that children are not fully protected. However, the childminder ensures that her paediatric first-aid training is up to date. She has a secure knowledge of the signs and symptoms that a child may be at risk of abuse. Additionally, she knows the procedures to follow and professionals to contact if she has any concerns.
