Childminder in Wolverhampton

This provision does not meet requirements

n The childminder has not kept up to date with the changes to the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage (EYFS), and the learning and development requirements. She does not have a secure knowledge of how to use the seven areas of learning and development to shape the educational programmes. In addition, she does not understand the need to complete a progress check at age two, for children aged between two and three years. n The range of resources, experiences and activities available for children are inadequate. The childminder reports she has thrown most of the toys and resources away due to contamination during the COVID-19 pandemic and not replaced them. As a result, there are insufficient play resources to provide enjoyable and challenging experiences for children. n The childminder has an appropriate understanding of how to challenge negative stereotypes about race, gender and disability.

provide age-appropriate opportunities for children to learn about diversity. However, this is hindered by the inadequate range of resources available to help promote positive images of diversity. n This is the childminder's first inspection since registration. She reports that because she has not cared for EYFS children recently she has not kept her knowledge fully up to date in relation to the recent reforms of the EYFS. She does read the latest bulletins from the local authority in relation to safeguarding and ensures all her mandatory training is up to date. n The childminder has a secure knowledge of child protection issues. She knows about the possible signs of abuse and the procedure to follow if she has a concern about a child's welfare. The home is suitably clean. The childminder recognises the importance of carrying out risk assessments to ensure her home is safe and children's safety assured on outings.

21 October 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.
