p.1

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

 The childminder does not hold a current first-aid qualification, which is a breach of requirements. She had overlooked the expiry date on her most recent certificate.  The childminder does not keep all required records readily available. This is a requirement.  The childminder does not display her registration certificate, which is a requirement.  The childminder's self-evaluation is not effective enough to help her identify when requirements are not met.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children enjoy their time with the childminder. They form close bonds and develop increasing confidence and independence.  The childminder knows each child well and supports their learning and development effectively. Children make good progress.  Partnerships with parents and other early years professionals are positive. Ongoing communication helps the childminder to support children's individual needs well.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children's activities, and the childminder's interaction with them, in the childminder's home.  The inspector talked to the childminder about children's activities and progress.  The inspector took account of parents' views, obtained from letters they had written.  The inspector looked at a sample of documents, which included the childminder's first- aid certificate, children's information records and their records of progress.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to recognise if a child is at risk of harm and what measures to take if she is concerned. Although the childminder knows what information she must record about the children in her care, she does not always make the records accessible. Although parents have seen the registration certificate, the childminder does not keep it available to display. The childminder is interested in how children learn in different ways and continues to develop her knowledge. However, she does not reflect successfully on all aspects of her provision, which results in requirements not being met.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder makes good use of her previous teaching experience to support children's learning well. She observes children's play and achievements and provides challenging activities to match their interests. For example, children show an interest in animals and insects. The childminder provides models that encourage their imaginative play, and real- life experiences, such as bug hunts and visits to local attractions, to extend their learning. The childminder interacts with children with a purposeful approach. She supports their language development well. For example, she names objects and repeats words again, particularly when supporting children who are learning English as an additional language.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children are happy and confident. Parents report positively on how quickly their children settle; they appreciate the 'warm and friendly' atmosphere. Children learn about respecting others, for example, by taking turns. The childminder teaches children good habits for caring for their bodies and provides regular opportunities for playing outside. For example, she takes them on walks in the local area, to play parks, woodlands, and the beach. Children benefit from the physical challenges that activities such as these provide. The childminder has not updated her first-aid training to keep her certificate current. However, she knows what to do in the event of an emergency and if a child is injured. Therefore, the impact on children's health is not significant.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are prepared well for the next stage in their learning and starting school. They develop independence and increasing confidence. For example, they make choices and let adults know their needs. Children show an interest in sounds and letters; they learn to recognise familiar written words, including their name. Children practise useful practical skills, such as using tools, pouring drinks and preparing food.
