p.1

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

 At the time of inspection, the childminder had not ensured required checks had been completed for all persons who live on the premises where she now provides childcare. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register requirements.  The childminder does not evaluate the quality of her provision adequately to identify all weaknesses, including the breach of a statutory requirement.  Children do not have many opportunities to increase their understanding of their own and other people's cultures.  Children cannot easily access resources to enable them to make decisions about what they want to play with.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The childminder forms strong bonds with the children in her care. Children settle well when they first start. They are happy and confident.  The childminder provides simple reminders to encourage children to behave well.  The childminder assesses and monitors children's achievements effectively. Children make good progress in their learning and development.

Due Date

 use evaluation more effectively to clearly identify breaches in requirements and areas for development in practice, to improve outcomes for children  provide more opportunities for children to learn more about similarities and differences between other people  create more opportunities for children to choose what they want to play with, to increase their independence further.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector toured the areas of the setting that the children use.  The inspector spoke to the childminder regarding the suitability of those who live on the premises.  The inspector looked at written policies and other relevant documents.  The inspector observed the childminder's interactions with children and evaluated an activity with her.  The inspector spoke to the childminder during the inspection to determine her knowledge of the requirements of the early years foundation stage and the Childcare Register.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder had to relocate her childminding business recently and failed to ensure that Ofsted was fully aware of the changes to her childminding arrangements, as required. The childminder is now clear about these requirements. She had not obtained a Disclosure and Barring Service check for the family member who owns the home from where she childminds, as required. However, there is no significant impact on children's well-being because the childminder understands her responsibility to ensure children are not left unsupervised with any person whose suitability has not been checked. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to identify and report any concerns about a child's well-being. She builds effective relationships with parents and other professionals involved in children's care and, together, they provide continuity that benefits children's learning. The childminder attends some training. She has used new knowledge to improve the

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses her knowledge of the children's abilities and interests well to extend their learning and development. She provides good opportunities for children to develop their physical skills. For example, she encourages them to complete puzzles, and to develop their agility when they visit the park and soft-play centres. The childminder supports children's language development well. For example, she models new words for children to repeat.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder promotes children's physical well-being. For example, she provides time for children to take regular naps and changes children's nappies sensitively. She encourages children to eat well and to exercise. The childminder encourages children to eat by themselves and to dress with minimal adult intervention. She helps children build social skills. She teaches them how others might be feeling, and to manage their emotions. For example, the childminder shows them their faces in a mirror when they are upset so they recognise what feelings look like. Children enjoy receiving praise and encouragement for their efforts. The childminder has realistic expectations about what children can achieve and helps them to recognise their own successes. She helps them prepare for their move to other settings. For example, she teaches them new routines, such as collecting older children from school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain confidence and learn useful skills that prepare them for future learning and for moving to pre-school and school. They learn the names of colours and shapes, and have good opportunities to socialise with others. Children play cooperatively together. For example, they explore play dough, share tools and talk to each other.
