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's assessment and future planning systems are new and therefore not yet as effective as they need to be to help plan activities that ensure children make good progress.  The childminder's self-evaluation routines are not fully effective in helping to identify areas where she could improve her practice and children's outcomes further.  Children do not have enough opportunities to develop the confidence to do things on their own, when appropriate, to aid their learning or social skills.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The childminder shares information effectively with parents about their children's care and the progress they make in their learning. Parents say that they value her service.  Children behave well. The childminder provides clear guidance and explanations to help them learn to manage their behaviour. For instance, she encourages children to share and take turns during activities.  Children form close relationships with the childminder. She provides a warm and caring environment and cares for children well.  Children are encouraged to learn about similarities and differences in people and communities different from their own.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the interaction between the childminder and the children during activities.  The inspector held discussions with the childminder about children's learning and progress.  The inspector looked at a range of documentation including policies and procedures and children's learning.  The inspector viewed the areas of the premises used for childminding.  The inspector held a discussion with a parent.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Since the last inspection, the childminder has improved some aspects of her provision but weaknesses remain in some areas. For example, self-evaluation routines are not effective in identifying areas that might ensure children's good outcomes. Information is shared with the parents regularly; for example, the childminder has daily books containing information on children's achievements that she shares with parents and other settings that children attend. These help to provide continuity of care and learning. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her role to protect children. She supervises children well and knows where to report any concerns she may have.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder provides a very welcoming and child-friendly environment. She knows the children's personal needs well. The childminder engages in a range of activities with all children and extends their speech and communication skills. For example, they sing action rhymes and play outside with bubbles. Children enjoy a variety of play activities and experiences that, overall, cover all areas of learning, but teaching does not fully ensure children make good progress. Recent changes to help the childminder assess children's progress to help plan more suitable activities are not yet fully in place or effective.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children behave well. The childminder has a consistent approach to managing behaviour. She discusses her expectations and approaches with parents. The childminder increases children's awareness of healthy lifestyles. For example, she offers nutritious snacks and meals, and provides plenty of opportunities for open air activities, such as when visiting local parks. The childminder teaches children some useful self-care skills, such as regular handwashing. However, children are not confident enough to do some tasks themselves when appropriate. Children enjoy weekly outings to local groups and activities, which allows them to socialise with other children from differing backgrounds.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children do not make the good progress in their learning of which they are capable. They are not prepared as well as they should be for their future learning. However, children are confident and play together well. They understand how to share and take turns with their friends, helping them gain appropriate social skills for the future.
