p.1

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

 The childminder is unable to demonstrate whether she has obtained a valid paediatric first-aid qualification. This is also a breach of requirements for the Childcare Register.  The childminder has not completed progress checks for the children who are aged between two and three years or shared these with their parents to support children's all-round learning effectively.  The childminder does not always take every opportunity to prevent the spread of germs between children during nappy-changing and hand-washing routines.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The childminder is attentive to the needs of the children. They demonstrate that they feel secure and comfortable in her care. Children have good relationships with one another and behave well.  Children's outcomes are good. The childminder knows her children well. She plans activities and games that she knows the children will enjoy.  The childminder makes effective use of the children's differing cultures to help them understand about similarities and differences between themselves and others.

Inspection activities

 The inspector toured the areas of the premises that children use.  The inspector read written comments from parents to obtain their views.  The inspector observed children and the childminder's interaction with them during their play and learning activities.  The inspector reviewed a sample of written policies and other documents the childminder uses to support her practice.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands child protection procedures and what to do if she is concerned a child may be at risk of harm. However, she is not able to demonstrate she has gained a valid paediatric first-aid qualification. The childminder meets most of the learning and development requirements. However, she has not completed the progress check for children aged two years and shared this with their parents to highlight their children's strengths and any areas where more support may be needed. The childminder implements effective measures to keep children safe and shares her policies with parents. She links with other professionals effectively, ensuring the care and learning children receive, including those with special educational needs, meets their individual needs. The childminder attends training to improve her practice and uses a range of effective strategies to gain the views of parents in her self-evaluation process.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children's interests and uses these to engage them in activities. For example, she uses children's favourite soft toys effectively to encourage them to join in with action songs as part of their regular singing sessions. The childminder liaises well with other settings where the children also attend. For example, she speaks to teachers about how they promote children's individual needs so that she provides equal support to improve outcomes effectively. The childminder observes the children well overall and checks that they are working comfortably at a level of development that is appropriate for their age and individual abilities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children develop confidence and independence effectively within the childminder's supportive relationships. For example, she encourages young children to feed themselves and older children to comfort younger ones if they become tired or upset. However, as the childminder was not able to show she has gained a valid first-aid qualification, children's welfare cannot be fully assured. The childminder talks to children about the types of food they eat at home and encourages them to make comparisons between themselves and each other. This helps them to understand the multicultural society in which they live. However, the childminder does not take all opportunities to prevent the spread of germs. For example, she provides hand towels for children to share and her nappy-changing routines do not always limit cross-infection as effectively as possible.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

As a result of the childminder's good teaching, all children make good progress from their starting points and are prepared for their next stage in education. Children with special educational needs are reaching the levels of development appropriate for their ability.
