p.1

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

 The childminder does not complete a daily record of the names of children cared for on the premises and their hours of attendance. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register.  The childminder does not encourage children to understand her expectations and the potential risk of eating while they walk around.  Children do not have enough opportunities to think solutions through and test their ideas.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The childminder provides children with varied indoor and outdoor activities to complement their school experiences. She provides a good range of resources. Children make independent choices, play cooperatively and behave well, overall.  Children follow good hygiene practices, for example washing their hands before they eat and after stroking the pets.  The childminder develops strong relationships with parents and there is a regular two- way flow of information. Parents appreciate how the childminder effectively supports children's emotional well-being and is responsive to their changing needs.  The childminder evaluates her provision well, overall. She identifies ways to improve the service she offers, for example, by sharing information more consistently with the school.

Inspection activities

 The inspector completed a tour of the setting with the childminder and discussed risk assessments.  The inspector accompanied the childminder on the school run.  The inspector observed the childminder's interactions with children as they played inside.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation including the childminder's self- evaluation, and policies and procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her responsibilities to report any concerns she has about a child to appropriate agencies. However, the childminder does not complete a daily register of children's hours of attendance to maintain their welfare. The childminder works in partnership with parents and professionals to support children's individual needs. The childminder seeks the views of children to improve her practice such as creating wish lists and involving them in the planning of activities. Overall, she keeps her knowledge up to date, for example by exchanging information with other childminders. She identifies her training needs such as to extend children's interest in outdoor play and forestry skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides children with good opportunities to be physically active after their day at school. For example, children enjoy jumping on and off the play equipment and balancing on the low wall. Children enjoy being creative. They develop good physical skills and coordination. For example, they shake the paint bottles and squeeze them into their containers. The childminder provides a good range of equipment for children to choose the appropriate tool for the task. She talks to the children about their initial designs helping them to gather the correct materials. Children create imaginatively and communicate their ideas well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

There are weaknesses in the recording of children's attendance that impact on children's welfare. The childminder knows the children well and they form strong bonds, which helps to support their well-being. The childminder provides many opportunities for children to learn about diversity and be respectful of the people in their community. The childminder listens to parents' feedback and provides a healthy snack, which now includes more fruit. However, she does not consistently encourage children to follow expected behaviour and sit down while they are eating to support their understanding of possible risks.
