p.1

The provision requires improvement

The childminder provides a wide range of learning experiences for children. For example, she takes children out to playgroups to socialise with other children and on nature walks to learn about the environment. However, the childminder does not implement her learning intent well enough to ensure that children make better progress in their learning and development. Even though the childminder recognises the need to support children to achieve secure outcomes in the prime areas of learning, she does not encourage children to develop their self-care skills, such as feeding themselves and wiping their faces independently.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

The childminder sets high expectations for children's behaviour and children behave well, overall. The childminder is quick to address any unwanted behaviour and encourages children to share. However, the weaknesses in planning the curriculum mean that children do not always maintain good levels of engagement and concentration during their play and learning. On some occasions, planned activities do not meet the developmental stages of all children.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

Despite the weaknesses in the curriculum implementation, children appear settled and feel happy in the childminder's care. The childminder has secure attachments with children, which helps them to feel content in her care. Children seek out the childminder for reassurance when they become unsettled. They have become familiar with the routines and explore the play areas confidently.

n Partnership with parents is not yet good. Although the childminder shares information about children's care routines with parents, she does not tell parents what their children are learning, how they are progressing or what they can do to support their children's learning at home. The lack of effective information sharing with parents does not provide continuity and consistency in children's learning. n The childminder does not provide suitable sleeping arrangements for children. She places children in pushchairs to sleep. The childminder recognises the health implications of this and takes steps to minimise the risk by not placing children in pushchairs for long periods of time and supervising them closely when they are asleep. However, she has not considered that this inhibits children's ability to move around while sleeping, to further support their physical development. n The childminder supports children's communication and language development

well. She talks to children, and introduces new words and sentences through everyday conversations. As a result, some children gain confidence in speaking. However, the childminder does not monitor all aspects of her teaching well enough to help children to make good progress across all areas of the

18 January 2024 curriculum. Children have fewer opportunities to learn how to look after themselves. For instance, the childminder does not encourage children to wash their hands before meals and this is not part of the daily routine. n Children begin to learn the difference between right and wrong. The childminder encourages children to share resources and take turns during their play and learning experiences. She is aware of some of the triggers of negative behaviour and uses effective methods, such as distractions, to calm children down before their behaviour escalates. This approach helps to minimise any unwanted disruptions to children's learning. n The childminder risk assesses her learning environments well to remove any potential hazards to children's play. She has a good knowledge and understanding of child protection. The childminder can identify when there are concerns about a child's welfare and knows the correct reporting procedures.

n The childminder supports children to gain an awareness about the differences and similarities in people and cultures. She frequently takes children out to the local community to interact with people and learn about other cultures. This helps children to become familiar with cultures and learn to appreciate diversity.
