n The childminder demonstrates a sound understanding of the indicators associated with a wide range of abuse. She also understands the procedures to follow if she has a concern about a child. The childminder is aware to refer allegations made against any adults working with the children to the local authority designated officer. However, she has failed to follow these procedures when previous concerns have been identified about the conduct of an assistant. This, therefore, does not ensure children are safeguarded from potential harm. n The childminder is an experienced practitioner and understands how to support children to continue to build on their prior knowledge and skills. She intends for children to develop their listening, attention, speaking, independence and social skills to prepare them for future learning and their eventual move to school. n The childminder shows that she recognises how to promote children's

communication and language skills. For instance, involving children in conversations, reading stories and asking questions to help promote children's growing vocabulary and their thinking skills. n The childminder spoke about the importance of managing children's behaviour and understanding the cause for the behaviour. She understands how this will enable her to manage the behaviour in a developmentally appropriate way in line with the child's individual needs. As children grow and develop, the childminder is aware to support their awareness of how they are feeling. She understands how this helps children to learn how to manage their own behaviour. n The childminder understands the importance of working in partnership with parents to meet children's needs and to support their learning and development. She intends to introduce home visits, so that positive relationships can be developed with the parents and child from the outset. She also intends to invite

The childminder believes this will promote the regular exchange of information and promote continuity of care and learning for children. n The childminder explains how she would promote children's good health through implementing appropriate health and hygiene routines. She aims to provide children with opportunities to clean their teeth to help them to develop good oral health routines. n The childminder has maintained public liability insurance and a current paediatric first-aid certificate to ensure she can protect children's well-being. She is aware of the importance of ensuring any assistants working with her are deployed effectively, so that she can oversee their practice. She explains how this will enable her to support their continued professional development. The childminder is also aware of how to risk assess all areas of the home and garden to ensure

7 June 2022 There were no children in the early years age range present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no early years children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
