p.1

The provision is inadequate

There are weaknesses in the childminder's safeguarding knowledge and the arrangements for risk assessments. This compromises children's safety and well- being. However, this does not impact on the quality of the education that children receive while they are in the childminder's care. The childminder gets to know the children well and this enables her to form secure bonds with them. She follows children's interests to support their progress. For instance, when children choose to play with wooden counters, the childminder supports children to correctly count the pieces and name their colours. This helps children to enhance their mathematical knowledge.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children enjoy interacting with the childminder. She encourages them to develop their communication and language skills through stimulating conversations. Children recall their past experiences and ask questions to enhance their knowledge. For instance, when children notice a stop sign on a toy bus, they demonstrate their curiosity by wanting to know what it means. The childminder explains this clearly in an age-appropriate way. This helps children to develop an understanding of the world.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

The childminder promotes positive behaviour, which supports children to behave well. She encourages children to tidy up when they finish their activity, and to say 'please' when they ask for something. The childminder also encourages children to find ways to resolve conflicts. This enables children to gain an understanding of how to manage their own behaviour.

n The childminder has not implemented an effective safeguarding policy. Consequently, she is not familiar with the local safeguarding partnership procedures to report concerns and manage allegations against herself and household members. This does not enable the childminder to respond to safeguarding concerns in a timely manner, and this impacts on the welfare of children. n The childminder does not always implement effective risk assessments during daily routines. For instance, during mealtimes, she does not ask children to finish their mouthful before speaking. This does not enable children to gain an understanding of how to eat safely in order to reduce the risk of choking. n The childminder failed to notify Ofsted of a significant change in circumstances. She does not have a secure understanding of the events that she is required to notify to Ofsted. However, the childminder was able to demonstrate that this did

2 October 2023 to find out about their child. This enables her to get to know children, so that she can support them to settle. The childminder regularly assesses children's progress. She is aware of her responsibility to complete a progress check for children when they are two years old. This enables the childminder to identify what children need to learn next. She shares assessments and ideas for home learning with parents. This helps children to receive consistent support with their ongoing development. n Children are supported to enhance their evolving vocabulary. For instance, the childminder encourages them to describe tastes and textures of food. The childminder suggests that apples are 'crunchy', and children repeat this back. This shows that children develop an understanding of new words and how to pronounce them correctly. n The childminder promotes good hygiene routines. She regularly reminds children

to clean their hands before and after eating. Children are guided by the childminder to ensure that their hands are cleaned properly. This helps children to develop an understanding of how to manage their own health care routines. n Parents are happy with the care that the childminder provides for their children. They appreciate the home-from-home environment that she offers. Children enjoy their time with the childminder and they learn new skills, such as eating with cutlery. This helps children to develop their physical skills. n The childminder helps to promote children's interests in books. For instance, she takes them to the local library and she encourages them to choose their own books. This helps children to develop a love of reading. n Children benefit from interesting experiences, where they learn about the similarities and differences between themselves and others. For example, the childminder teaches them about different traditions and events throughout the

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

Safeguarding

The childminder does not have a robust understanding of the local safeguarding partnerships procedures to raise concerns about children's welfare. She also is not aware of how to manage allegations against herself and household members. The childminder does not implement an effective safeguarding policy. This impacts on her ability to refer concerns in a timely manner. However, the childminder recognises the signs and symptoms of abuse. The childminder does not consistently implement effective risk assessments, particularly during mealtimes. This does not help to keep children safe from harm.
