Previous inspection: Satisfactory 3 How well the early years provision meets the needs of the range of children who attend Requires improvement The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children Requires improvement The effectiveness of the leadership and management of the early years provision Requires improvement The setting does not meet legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision requires improvement. It is not yet good because:

 The childminder demonstrates she does not have rigorous knowledge and understanding of the learning and development requirements. This has an impact on her ability to assess children's progress in order to understand their needs.  Children's ongoing learning is not effectively supported. The childminder does not use information gained from observation to plan for the next steps in children's learning.  The childminder has not fully addressed identified priorities for improvement, in order to develop and advance the quality of practice.  The childminder does not gather sufficient information from parents about children's starting points to enable her to plan effectively from the beginning.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The childminder has an adequate understanding of the safeguarding procedures for protecting children, which ensures they are kept safe.  Children are happy and demonstrate they feel secure and enjoy their time in the childminder's care. They form close relationships with the childminder, which support their emotional well-being.

who attend. This requires improvement

Children generally enjoy their time in the childminder's care. They are occupied and participate in a suitable range of activities. The childminder does not have a deep knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage. This means she does not fully understand how to provide children with challenging activities that match their learning needs. The childminder does not use what she knows about children's interests to plan for the next steps in their learning, as a result, children do not make the best possible progress. Parents are kept adequately informed about their child's day. However, the childminder does not gather enough information about children's learning on entry to the setting. This means the planning is not effective to promote children's individual learning needs. Young children begin to explore new vocabulary because the childminder talks with them. She asks them questions to help develop their growing language skills and become confident

communicators. Overall, children gain suitable skills to support their future learning.

p.3

requires improvement

The childminder is welcoming and affectionate with children. She spends time giving children the care and attention they need. She uses lots of praise to give encouragement when children are helpful and cooperative, building their self-esteem. Children gain an awareness of safety; the childminder reinforces appropriate routines regarding road safety. Children begin to become independent as they find and help themselves to the toys and resources. They make choices about what they want to play with and select resources from toy boxes themselves. This means children are suitably prepared for the move to other settings. Children accompany the childminder on outings when taking other children to school. They benefit from fresh air and exercise. Children learn sensible routines, which help them to understand about keeping healthy.

p.3

provision requires improvement

The childminder has completed all statutory training with regard to the safeguarding and welfare requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. A range of policies and procedures are in place and shared with parents, such as the safeguarding policy. All required checks of adults in the home have been undertaken so children's welfare is effectively safeguarded. The childminder does not make effective use of self-evaluation. She does not monitor children's learning adequately enough to ensure all children make good progress. The childminder does not have a good enough understanding of what children need to learn next. This means children do not the best possible progress in their learning. The childminder has an understanding of the importance of working in partnership with other providers.
