p.1

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

 The childminder does not consistently target teaching as well as possible to ensure that activities offer children suitable challenge. Some children do not make the progress that they are capable of.  Although the childminder has completed the two-year progress check for some children, she has not shared the information with parents, as required.  The childminder does not focus enough on evaluating her practice and skills. She has not completed recommendations set at her previous inspection. For example, the childminder has not improved arrangements to work in partnership with other settings that share the care of the children.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children form close attachments with the childminder and enjoy being in her care. She responds to children’s needs and helps them to enjoy their play.  The childminder provides a range of resources and experiences for the children, including supporting them to develop healthy lifestyles. She offers them opportunities to develop social skills, for example, by attending community playgroups led by the childminder.  The childminder offers support so children learn to keep themselves and others safe. For example, she encourages them to work out why some toys are not suitable for the younger children.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector had a tour of the childminder's house and garden.  The inspector spoke to the childminder and the children at suitable times.  The inspector observed the childminder playing and communicating with the children indoors and in the garden.  The inspector looked at a sample of the childminder's records, including the children's records. She discussed the procedures for keeping children safe.  The inspector spoke to the childminder about how she plans to improve and develop the service that she provides.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge of how to keep children safe and of the procedures to follow if she has any concerns over a child's welfare. The childminder recognises the importance of taking action to improve her skills but has not reflected effectively on her practice and has not identified all weaknesses. For example, she does not understand how to fully complete the two-year progress check and share it with parents.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder undertakes observations of the children; however, she does not consistently identify if they are meeting expected development levels for their age. The childminder does not consistently offer enough challenging activities that address any gaps in the children's individual skills and knowledge. This means that, at times, children are not supported to make the good progress that they are capable of. The childminder has not addressed effectively a recommendation set at her previous inspection. She does not work in partnership with other settings to provide continuity for the children in their joint care.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder helps children to settle in and provides a warm and friendly environment. Children have access to a wide range of toys and learning resources, inside and in the garden. The childminder ensures that children have opportunities to socialise at a playgroup. However, she does not help them learn about the similarities and differences between themselves and others, to extend their understanding of the world.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children make progress and learn some important skills for their next stage of development, but they do not consistently participate in challenging activities. Nonetheless, children develop their speech and their understanding of sizes and shapes. For example, they enjoyed filling toy vehicles with cereal and discussing which held the most volume. Older children can use the toilet independently and are willing to persist at complex tasks, such as following printed instructions to build a car from construction bricks. Younger children are developing their independence and self-care skills. For example, they feed themselves at snack time.
