p.1

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

 The childminder has not kept up to date with recent changes to ensure she is clear of all her roles and responsibilities, in particular with regard to changes in guidance to helping protect children.  The systems used by the childminder to monitor children's individual learning are not sufficiently thorough. She has not completed the required progress check for children aged two years. This is a requirement of the Early Years Foundation Stage.  The childminder does not use all play areas and resources effectively, to extend the children's play experiences and all-round development fully.  The childminder does not use all opportunities to work with other early years settings children attend, to develop further consistency between all settings.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children are happy, settled and have positive relationships with the childminder.  The childminder interacts positively with children to support their communication and mathematical development.  Children's health is supported well, including through the childminder's daily routines and procedures.  The childminder provides children with appropriate messages to help them learn to play together well.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. Overall, the childminder understands the safeguarding and welfare requirements. She has sufficient knowledge of the procedures to follow if she has any concerns. However, she is not proactive in keeping herself up to date with changes, such as government guidance to help protect children within her setting, in their family or in the wider community. The childminder shares information with the parents about their children's well-being and development. However, she has not established partnerships with other early years providers that are involved in the children's care. The childminder considers ways to develop her practice; for example, she meets up with other childminders regularly to help her reflect on aspects of her practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder knows the children well and offers children a varied range of play and learning experiences that keep them suitably occupied and interested. She has some assessment systems in place, which help her to monitor children's progress appropriately. However, she does not make sure that the required checks for all children aged two years are completed. Some aspects of learning are not planned for as well as possible. Nonetheless, children join in various creative play activities. For example, they enjoy moulding the dough to make a face, adding two eyes, a nose and a mouth. The childminder gets involved in the children's play, asking questions to help promote conversation and develop children's language appropriately.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder interacts with children in a friendly and caring manner, supporting their emotional well-being effectively. Her sensitive support helps young children to become confident in managing their personal care needs and gain independence. Overall, children have access to an adequate range of resources and play equipment. However, the childminder does not organise the play environment, resources and activities to offer children the full opportunities to become independent learners. Children behave well and show consideration towards the needs of others.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children enjoy their time with the childminder. They develop confidence and some useful practical skills to help prepare them for moving on to school. For example, children pay attention to stories and develop careful listening skills. However, the childminder does not always make the best of the play space, activities and experiences to enable all the children to reach their full potential. Children do not always make the best possible progress in relation to their starting points.
