The provision is good

The childminder has only recently returned to childminding and is focusing on the care of the youngest children. Babies are warmly welcomed into a safe, clean home and enjoy a caring and nurturing relationship with the childminder. Babies are happy and settled. The childminder is mindful that babies born during the COVID- 19 pandemic have had limited social interaction outside their immediate family. The settling-in process is very well used to support babies as they separate from their parents. Parents are initially encouraged to stay with their baby and explain individual sleep and feeding routines. This means that babies benefit from consistent care routines. For example, the childminder reads the story chosen by their parent before gently rocking the baby to sleep.

The provision is good

Babies enjoy a broad range of activities which help them to make good progress and provide a strong foundation for their future learning and development. Babies have excellent opportunities to develop their core strength through regular 'tummy time'. They smile happily as they enjoy songs and rhymes with the childminder. Babies excitedly wave their arms and reach out to grasp hold of their favourite brightly coloured animals as the childminder sings 'Old MacDonald Had a Farm'.

n Physical development is particularly well promoted. Babies are routinely encouraged to reach for and hold interesting play materials, such as small bottles containing different-coloured liquids and glitter. Young babies watch keenly as the childminder twists and turns the bottles before encouraging them to hold them independently. n The childminder has a good understanding of each child's capabilities and is clear about what she wants babies to learn next. She is knowledgeable about the importance of developing babies' core strength to help them to achieve recognised milestones. This includes sitting, crawling, standing and walking independently. The childminder is less confident in her knowledge and understanding of the educational programme for older children. n The childminder provides a varied range of sensory experiences. With support from the childminder, babies enthusiastically explore a wide range of textures.

For example, young babies enjoy patting the water with their fingers and scrunching different breakfast cereals. n The childminder values each child as an individual. Regular outings help to raise babies' and children's awareness of the local community. However, the childminder does not always make full use of ways to raise children's understanding of the lives of others, to help children to develop positive attitudes towards diversity and inclusion. n The childminder is a positive role model and demonstrates that she understands

4 May 2022 how to promote good behaviour through positive reinforcement. n Close partnership working with parents contribute successfully to children's emotional well-being. Parents are very well informed about their babies' time with the childminder. The childminder explains how she is supporting babies to make progress. She offers suggestions to help parents to continue to support their babies' learning and development at home. n In the main, the childminder manages her setting effectively. She has completed required training, such as paediatric first aid and child protection training. She has also undertaken further professional development through reading relevant documents and books. This has helped to increase her knowledge and understanding of ways to plan and deliver a well-sequenced curriculum for children under three years old. n The childminder is committed to improving the quality of her provision. She is

aware that training to further improve the quality of education provided for children over two years old has been limited. The childminder has accurately identified further training needs to improve outcomes for all children.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Risk assessments are completed and all reasonable steps to remove, minimise and manage risks are taken by the childminder. The childminder has a clear understanding of her role and responsibility regarding child protection. Recent training and updated guidance from the local authority mean that the childminder understands the procedure to follow if she is concerned about a child's welfare. This includes her responsibility to notify the local authority designated officer in the event an allegation is made against the childminder or a member of the household. Sleeping babies are very closely monitored. The childminder is very mindful of safe sleeping and discusses best practice with parents to help keep sleeping babies safe.
