p.1

The provision requires improvement

The childminder forms warm relationships with children. Less confident children seek him out for reassurance when in the presence of unfamiliar adults. Children respond well to the childminder's humour, hugs and gentle approach. The childminder provides frequent opportunities for children to socialise with others beyond his setting during regular outings in the local community. Children learn about and experience the diverse communities within their local area. The childminder plays music that reflects the backgrounds of some children and helps children to value what makes them unique.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

The childminder provides opportunities for children to make choices. For example, children eagerly offer the childminder self-selected books or tell him what fruits they would like for snack. The childminder acknowledges children's achievements. Children wait, take turns and share resources from an early stage. The childminder helps children to develop a love of books. The childminder helps children to understand the differing uses of technology, such as when selecting music for children to hear. The childminder shares useful information with parents and teaching staff at school.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

The childminder does not consistently implement learning opportunities effectively. Resources and routines are sometimes not well considered. For example, children are offered paper that has already been used and have limited opportunities to practise handwashing. Despite this, they learn the basic skills required to prepare them for their next stages of learning.

need to do better?

n The childminder has made some improvements since the last inspection. Information and records are organised and accessible. Children eat more nutritious food and the childminder shares menus with their parents. However, the childminder has not fully addressed some of the concerns previously raised. n The childminder has shared information with Ofsted about people living on the premises. However, he has not used the correct procedure to do this. This means that Ofsted has been unable to complete the required suitability checks for household members. There is not a significant impact on children's safety and welfare as all adults in the home have obtained an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. n The childminder takes steps to improve his professional practise. For example, he uses webinars to learn more about the early years foundation stage curriculum. However, the childminder lacks knowledge of the different areas of

learning. This hinders his ability to plan effectively for the individual learning and development needs of children in his care.

21 March 2025 n The childminder makes good use of community resources. This helps to extend what child know beyond their immediate environment. The childminder encourages less confident children to socialise and interact with others during regular play group sessions. Children learn about a wider range of food and scan items during visits to local shops. These experiences contribute to children's understanding of different people around them. n The childminder helps children to develop their mathematical awareness. He encourages children to match picture cards and recognise colours during play. Children point to, count and name the fruits eaten by a caterpillar during shared stories. The childminder introduces children to language, such as 'half' and 'whole' during mealtimes. n The childminder speaks about and names healthy foods as children play at the pretend kitchen. They use their imaginations well and are eager to offer him

pretend 'food'. The childminder helps children to understand his expectations during local outings, such as holding on to the buggy while walking. This contributes to children's awareness of how to stay healthy and safe. However, at times, routines are not used to help children develop and manage independent self-care. n The childminder works effectively with parents and other professionals when concerns about children's development arise. He encourages parents to seek professional support and advice and shares information with school staff. This helps them understand how to better support children and contributes to the continuity of children's care.
