p.1

The provision requires improvement

Children make themselves busy in the childminder's home as they play with the resources on offer. However, the resources offered and input from the childminder during children's play are limited. Children are not routinely challenged to build further on what they already know and can do. For example, children sit for extended periods and colour pre-printed pictures with wax crayons.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

The education and experiences that children receive do not fully extend their learning. The childminder has previously completed some professional development, such as around changes to the early years foundation stage. However, she has not targeted her learning to areas that would help to enhance her teaching skills or improve her understanding of how children learn and develop.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

The childminder's expectations of children are not consistently high. This has an impact on children's attitudes towards their learning and play. For example, children stand on toys and books without comment from the childminder. That said, on other occasions, children generally behave well and do learn some useful skills through their play and during the routines of the day. The childminder encourages children to share the toys. Children wait patiently when asked and eat healthy snacks and meals at the table with their peers. Children are content and feel safe in the company of the childminder and their peers. Children show that they have formed bonds with the childminder as they go to her for cuddles when they are tired.

n The childminder uses observation and assessment to track children's progress and to identify gaps in their learning. However, weaknesses in the planning and delivery of the curriculum mean that children do not make the best progress possible. Children are not always supported to learn in the ways that work best for them. For example, the childminder repeatedly asks young children to 'stay still' while they play. n The childminder reads stories to children and uses some interesting words, such as 'crinkly' and 'crunchy'. However, her use of correct vocabulary is inconsistent, which means that children sometimes hear and practise incorrect words. This means that children's communication and language skills are not supported as effectively as possible. n Some children attend other settings as well as the childminder's provision. The childminder does not engage effectively with other professionals in these

The childminder carries out tasks for children that they could learn to do for themselves, such as cutting up fruit for their snack. n The childminder understands and supports the specific needs of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) appropriately. She works with other professionals involved in their care and takes advice from an advisory teacher who visits the provision to further assess children's needs. The childminder uses additional funding to take children on outings to a sensory soft- play centre which supports their specific needs. n The childminder has improved relationships with parents since her last inspection. She gives parents regular information about their children's learning and development. She offers ideas about how they can support their children's learning at home and advice on parenting. Children visit the library with the

childminder where they select books to take home and share with their parents. Parents are happy with the care that their children receive. n Although the childminder has limited outside space at her home, she visits local parks each day. Children access the fresh air and play areas where they can develop their physical skills. The childminder takes children on outings. For example, they go on regular visits to the nearby zoo. This helps them to develop some understanding of the world. n Regular outings in the local area mean that children begin to understand how they are different from and similar to other people. The childminder helps children to learn how they are unique as they play with their peers with SEND.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder's understanding of safeguarding practices and procedures is sufficient to ensure that children are safe. She understands how to identify children who may be at risk of harm and how to intervene in a timely manner to ensure their safety. The childminder understands what to do if she is concerned about the welfare of a child. She understands the procedure to follow in the event of an allegation being made against herself or a member of her household. The childminder has a sound understanding of radicalisation and extreme ideologies as well as county lines and why this is a local concern.
