p.1

This provision is inadequate

 The childminder has failed to follow the correct procedures to provide Ofsted with all the information required to enable them to check the suitability of people living on the premises.  The childminder does not clearly identify strengths and areas for improvement and plan how best to develop her provision further.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The childminder has effective partnerships with parents and other professionals. She regularly exchanges information with them about children's development. This enables everyone involved to work together and fully support children's good progress.  The environment is carefully planned by the childminder, who supports children's engagement in a wide range of play and activities. Children make their own choices and the childminder quickly adapts and changes activities in response to children's emerging interests.  Children show that they feel safe and secure in the childminder's care. She talks to them about what she is doing, provides reassurance and lets children know what is coming next, supporting their emotional well-being very well.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector looked around parts of the home used for childminding purposes.  The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact on children's learning.  The inspector looked at a range of documents, including policies and procedures and discussed evidence of the suitability of adults living on the premises.  The inspector jointly evaluated an activity with the childminder.  The inspector took account of the views of parents provided through written feedback.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder has failed to provide Ofsted with all the information that they require to check the suitability of all adults living on the premises. This means that children's safety and welfare are compromised. However, the childminder can identify possible signs and symptoms of abuse. She can talk in detail about how she would report any concerns following local procedures. The childminder is experienced. She has completed training to develop her knowledge and skills in areas, such as supporting children who have social and communication difficulties. The childminder provides opportunities for children to socialise at local activity sessions. Parents particularly like that their children have these experiences with the childminder. Systems for self-evaluation are not used effectively to identify areas for improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder carefully listens and watches children in their play. This helps her to find out more about what they are thinking and enjoying. She uses these observations well to plan activities and good teaching supports children's next stages in learning. For example, activities are quickly adapted when children's interest wanes. Familiar resources are always close at hand for children to go back to. This helps to promote children's confidence and security in the setting. The childminder talks to children about what they are doing and repeats key words. She uses sign language alongside speech to help children understand what she is saying and to encourage them to communicate.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The childminder has failed to ensure children's safety and welfare. Adults who are not known to Ofsted are living on the premises. The childminder reminds children of the behaviour that she wants and explains the behaviour expected of them. She also talks with parents about how best to support this phase of development. She supports children's understanding of good hygiene routines. Children wash and dry their hands before snack using their own individual towels which they are beginning to recognise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are happy and motivated in their play. They enjoy looking at a range of books and have clear favourites. They carefully hold each book, turning the pages and anticipating what is coming next. Children show good physical skills. They climb into wheeled vehicles and negotiate space. Children are starting to do things for themselves, such as putting on aprons and their own shoes. Children use paintbrushes and mix colours together. They make bold marks on paper, concentrating on what they are doing.
