Effectiveness of the leadership and management Requires improvement Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Requires improvement Personal development, behaviour and welfare Requires improvement Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

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

 The childminder does not use assessments and activities fully, to monitor children's learning accurately and to help them make good progress in all areas in relation to their starting points.  The childminder does not help children consistently to learn why some behaviour is unacceptable or how this makes others feel, to support their understanding of good behaviour further.  The childminder does not evaluate the quality of her provision effectively, to help her to identify and addresses the weaknesses in children's learning and in her own knowledge.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The childminder provides children with safe play areas and lots of outdoor play to support their health and physical development.  Children form warm and trusting relationships with the childminder. They explore confidently and lead their own play freely.  The childminder has taken steps to address the action and recommendation from the previous inspection. For example, she maintains an appropriate first-aid certificate and keeps written records of any medicine administered to children.

 support children better in learning about positive behaviour to extend their personal, social and emotional development  develop self-evaluation to identify and address all areas for improvement in the quality of the provision.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed activities and the quality of the childminder's interaction with the children.  The inspector observed the management of children's care routines.  The inspector looked at children's assessment records.  The inspector sampled the childminder's documentation and discussed her knowledge of the requirements of the early years foundation stage.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. Overall, the childminder has a sufficient understanding of her role and responsibilities to support children's welfare. She is aware of the importance of acting on any concerns and understands the correct procedures to follow in such an event. The childminder has attended some professional development, such as completing food hygiene training to support children's health. However, she does not evaluate and monitor the quality of her provision consistently. She does not identify the weaknesses in the quality of children's learning or the gaps in her knowledge regarding recent changes and new information.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder observes children during their play to find out what they can do and plans some next steps for their learning. However, she does not assess children's development accurately to identify the gaps in all areas of their learning. She does not use activities consistently to support them in achieving their next steps to enable them to make good progress. Nevertheless, the childminder encourages children to lead their own play and provides some challenge, such as through discussion and asking questions. For example, children get involved in moving sand around the play areas, which they spread out to make patterns and use to fill containers to make pretend drinks and meals. The childminder compares the sizes of the containers and asks children some questions about what they are making to encourage their communication and language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children enjoy lots of outdoor play time in the garden. For example, children create their own games, run around freely and use the many physical play activities to move in different ways. The childminder reminds children of her house rules to help them learn about what is expected of them. However, she does not explain to children consistently why their behaviour is unacceptable, to help them learn more about positive play and the feelings of others. The childminder provides parents with some information about their children's learning.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children are generally happy and settled. They share laughter in their play and proudly show the things they have made. Children make their own choices confidently and manage some tasks for themselves, such as washing their hands independently. Overall, children develop the basic skills they need for future learning and the move to school. However, the childminder does not help every child to make good progress in all areas of their learning from the start.
