p.1

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

 The childminder has not provided Ofsted with the relevant information to check the suitability of every person aged 16 years and over living on the premises, including obtaining enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks.  The childminder does not monitor all children's learning accurately to plan and provide challenging experiences, to help every child make good progress in relation to their starting points.  The childminder does not evaluate the quality of her provision effectively, to help her to identify and address the weaknesses in her knowledge and provision.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children are happy, settled and enjoy their time with the childminder. Parents provide information about their children's care needs and the childminder meets their routines consistently.  The childminder helps children to develop healthy lifestyles. For example, children enjoy lots of outdoor play and physical activities, and benefit from healthy meals.  The childminder encourages children to develop good behaviour and positive attitudes. For instance, children learn to share, take turns, use good manners and learn to respect diversity in their world.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed activities and the quality of the childminder's interaction with the children.  The inspector observed the management of children's care routines.  The inspector looked at children's assessment records and talked to children at appropriate times.  The inspector sampled the childminder's documentation and discussed her knowledge of the requirements of the early years foundation stage.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder has not provided Ofsted with the relevant information to check the suitability of every person aged 16 years and over living on her premises. This includes obtaining an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check, and as such is a breach of the Early Years Register requirements. However, this does not have any significant impact on children's safety or welfare because the childminder does not allow anyone else to have unsupervised contact with children. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder, otherwise, understands her role and responsibility to support children's welfare. She uses professional development to keep up to date with changes in child protection guidance. This includes recognising signs that a child may be at risk of harm and the procedures to follow if she has a concern about a child in her care. The childminder does not monitor or evaluate the quality of her provision to help her to identify weaknesses in her provision

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder completes some observations to assess children's learning. However, she does not undertake these consistently to gain a good understanding of children's development. She does not use her assessments well to plan challenging activities to build on children's learning. The childminder joins in children's play to help them have fun and to use their creative skills. For example, children draw and glue decorations to pictures. The childminder provides tools for them to use, such as tweezers to pick up small decorations. The childminder encourages some aspects of children's communication and language skills, such as talking in their play to help them understand their actions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The weaknesses in leadership and management do not have a significant impact on children's safety or well-being. The childminder provides a welcoming environment for children to play and explore. Children confidently lead their own play and create their own ideas. For example, they laugh together as they paint one another's faces, fingers and toes in a painting activity. The childminder provides children with encouragement to join in the activities, although these sometimes lack challenge for children.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Overall, children develop the basic skills they need for their future learning and the move to school. They learn to manage some tasks by themselves and develop good social skills. Children communicate their needs and feelings. They learn about keeping themselves safe, such as learning about road safety. However, the childminder does not help every child to make good progress in all areas of their learning from the start.
