Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

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

 Although the childminder has completed recent safeguarding training, her knowledge of wider safeguarding issues is not fully secure.  The childminder does not obtain enough information from parents about children's learning and development prior to attending the setting.  The childminder does not have sufficient systems in place to review the quality of the service effectively enough.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The childminder provides a safe, secure, clean and well-planned environment that enables children to explore and play.  Arrangements to settle new children are effective.  Children behave well because consistent boundaries are in place to help them learn right from wrong.

p.2

Due Date

 improve the systems for reviewing and evaluating the service to more accurately identify what needs to improve and make sure provision is consistently of a good or better level.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector discussed with the childminder the progress she has made since her last inspection and her plans for ongoing improvement.  The inspector observed the children taking part in a range of activities.  The inspector looked at some of the childminder’s policies and procedures.  The inspector looked at feedback records to consider parents' views.  The inspector observed the quality of teaching and the impact this has on children's learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder does not have a clear enough overview of areas for improvement within her service. This means priority areas which need developing are not recognised and planned for. Although the childminder has completed safeguarding training, some aspects of her knowledge need further improvement. For example, she is unaware of the action to take if an allegation is made against an adult member of her household. Her knowledge of updated safeguarding guidance also needs improvement. Other aspects of safeguarding are effective. Records for the safe management of the setting are maintained appropriately. The childminder assesses risk on a daily basis to ensure children are kept safe. She involves parents and provides them with regular information about their children's progress and development. Positive comments provided in parental feedback indicate that they are happy with the service provided.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder does not gather enough information from parents and carers about what children can already do before they arrive at the setting. This means that planning and assessment of their progress is not always initially accurate. In general, the childminder provides children with a sufficient range of experiences that help them to gain the skills they need for the next stage in their learning. She interacts positively with the children and promotes their communication appropriately. She provides young children with enough space and time to move around the setting and explore their environment. All children benefit from being able to access the indoor and outdoor environment with ease. They are therefore able to make choices about where they wish to play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy each other's company and make good relationships with their peers. They communicate together socially when they sit opposite one another in highchairs to eat their meals. They listen well to the childminder and respond to her requests. Children learn about good hygiene practices as the childminder has good routines to support this learning, such as washing hands before snacks and lunch. Children learn about the rules in the setting through good role modelling and consistent boundaries. The childminder effectively distracts unwanted behaviour and discusses the strategies used with parents to ensure a fair approach.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children are making satisfactory progress. They are settled, self-assured and understand the childminder's routines. As a result, they can confidently make their needs known. Children learn to consider others and are courteous towards their peers. This can be seen when they offer one another breadsticks at snack time and say 'thank you'. They gain sufficient skills to enable them to move on to the next stages in their learning.
