p.1

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

 The childminder does not hold a current paediatric first-aid qualification or keep a daily record of children's attendance. She does not support children's well-being effectively.  The childminder has failed to obtain information about who has parental responsibility for children. This does not support children's welfare effectively.  The childminder does not consistently share information about children's progress with other settings that they attend to ensure consistent support for their learning.  The childminder has not evaluated her practice since her last inspection. She has failed to identify breaches in requirements of both the Early Years Register and the Childcare Register.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The childminder has a caring approach towards the children. Children have developed strong attachments to her.  Children make good progress in their learning. The childminder interacts with the children well. She provides interesting and challenging experiences to support their learning and development effectively.

p.2

Due Date

 strengthen links with other early years settings that children attend to provide greater continuity of learning  develop self-evaluation to help identify and remedy weaknesses and improve experiences for children.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed activities and the quality of teaching in the childminder's home.  The inspector spoke to the childminder and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector checked the evidence of suitability for all adults living on the premises and the childminder's qualifications, and talked to her about how she evaluates her practice.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation including children's records, safeguarding procedures, and written policies and procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is aware of the procedures to follow if she has any concerns about children in her care. She has not reflected on her practice since her last inspection and has failed to identify breaches in requirements. She keeps most required records. However, she does not complete a record of children's attendance as they arrive and leave the premises to accurately show who is present at any given time. She has developed appropriate partnerships with parents. Information is shared through daily diaries and a chat when they leave or collect their children. However, the childminder has not obtained information from parents, as required, regarding who has parental responsibility for the children in her care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children's learning well. She observes and tracks their progress effectively and uses the information to plan for their next steps in learning. The quality of teaching is consistently good. The childminder supports children's early communication and language skills effectively. For example, she talks to them as they interact together. The childminder shares her time well between older and younger children. She includes younger children in all activities at levels appropriate for their stage of learning. The childminder supports children's physical development well. Children enjoy playing outside and going on visits around the local area to explore the world around them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder's first-aid qualification has expired and she has not yet renewed this. She has some understanding of how to deal with accidents but this is not up to date. This does not support children's well-being. Children are well behaved. They show care and concern for younger children. For example, when a young child falls over, an older child goes over, asks if they are all right and helps the childminder give them a cuddle. The childminder is a good role model and teaches children good personal hygiene practices such as washing their hands before eating.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and happy in the childminder's care. They enjoy looking at books alone and with the childminder. Children learn about sharing, taking turns and being kind to others. They develop their independence effectively and learn the skills they need for their future learning.
