Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

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

 The childminder does not have a good knowledge of the learning and development requirements. She is not fully confident to assess children's development accurately or to plan for what they need to learn next.  The childminder does not keep up to date with current early years practice or gain a good awareness of the indicators that children are at risk of radical or extremist views.  Children do not always fully benefit from activities planned to develop their play and concentration.  The childminder does not evaluate her work accurately to improve teaching and ensure that children make good progress.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The childminder provides a nurturing and loving environment for young children. She helps them to develop secure emotional attachments.  The childminder assesses the risks to the premises and for outings well and children play in safety.  Parents receive daily information about their children's day and the childminder offers flexible arrangements to help parents' work commitments.

p.2

Due Date

 ensure children develop their concentration and exploration skills more fully to aid their learning  implement more effective self-evaluation processes to help identify how teaching can be consistently good to improve outcomes for children.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the childminder and the children during activities.  The inspector spoke with the childminder at appropriate times throughout the inspection, regarding her practice and the arrangements for observation, assessment and planning.  The inspector checked the documentation the childminder uses to support her practice.  The inspector discussed the childminder's self-evaluation processes.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder has addressed most of the weaknesses identified at her last inspection. For example, she is aware of completing the progress summary for children aged two years. However, improvements are inconsistent. The childminder does not evaluate her practice well enough to identify where she can improve her teaching, for example, or to keep updated with the need to be vigilant about children being unduly influenced by others. Overall, safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a suitable understanding of child protection issues and the procedures to follow if she is concerned about a child's welfare. Links with parents are positive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder lacks some awareness of the learning and development requirements and this hinders her ability to plan carefully for what children need to learn next. Despite the childminder making some notes on the children's day, she does not use this information to accurately assess their achievements. Nevertheless, the childminder does provide a suitable range of resources, which encourages children to learn in some areas. She supports children's early communication skills well. For example, she talks to children, repeating words to encourage young babies to copy. They have great fun playing with a large ball and learn how to roll it to make it move. However, the childminder changes the activities frequently and does not always give children enough time to explore the toys at their own pace.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder's home is welcoming to children and she has a warm and caring approach. She conducts suitable daily checks of her home to ensure children play in safety. She ensures safety gates are secure to protect young children from accessing other areas of the home. The childminder is a good example of how to support children's behaviour. For example, she regularly tidies up the toys and explains to children that this is so they do not trip over. The childminder supports children's physical well-being effectively. She provides time for them to take regular rest and encourages them to eat well and to have time outside in the open air. Parents comment that they are very happy with the service that the childminder offers.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children develop their early independence skills as they learn to feed themselves and hold their own water beakers. Their physical skills develop rapidly as they have many opportunities to practise walking. However, planning and teaching are not effective enough to ensure that every child makes at least good progress in all aspects of their learning and to prepare them securely for their future learning.
