Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

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

 The childminder does not plan activities to cover all areas of learning successfully. Children do not make the best possible progress.  The childminder lacks consistently good teaching skills. She does not offer good enough challenge and extension when she engages in play with children.  The childminder has not effectively addressed all areas for improvement since her last inspection. For example, she has not prioritised her professional development to upskill herself and develop knowledge of children’s learning and outcomes for children.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The childminder has a secure understanding of safeguarding children and how to protect them from harm. She keeps her knowledge of how to keep children safe up to date.  Children are keen take part in physical activities, such as active play in the garden.  Parents are suitably informed about children’s care and learning, and are pleased with the childminding service.

Due Date

 develop self-evaluation to identify strengths and areas for improvement, including opportunities for professional development to improve the quality of provision for teaching and learning.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector spoke to children, observed their play activities indoors and outdoors, looked at the available resources and read relevant documentation.  The inspector discussed the childminder's leadership and management, including safeguarding and self-evaluation methods.  The inspector looked at feedback from parents and took account of their views.  The inspector carried out a joint observation with the childminder.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of what to do if she is worried about a child, including protecting children from others with extreme views. She keeps her first-aid qualification up to date so that she can care for children in an emergency. The childminder supervises children appropriately and manages risks well to help keep children safe, such as when they use the trampoline in the garden. She reflects on some aspects of her work. However, she does not evaluate her service well enough to identify and target key weaknesses, particularly in children's learning and development. The childminder liaises well with other providers who also care for the children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder does not fully meet all of the learning and development requirements. Her quality of teaching is variable. She observes and assesses children accurately but the delivery of their next steps, to build consistently on what each child knows and can do, is not evident in everyday practice. For example, when children show an interest in bees and butterflies in the garden, the childminder does not use her skills, knowledge and resources effectively to extend their learning further in understanding about nature and the world around them. Children make play choices from the varied toys which are available to them, such as the small-world cars, garage and road map, and they talk happily about their play. The childminder interacts with them appropriately to encourage thinking and talking skills and some aspects of mathematics, such as counting.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder encourages children to feel happy and safe, and shows them kindness, warmth and understanding. They enjoy plenty of sympathetic reassurance and develop well in their personal, social and emotional development. Children are supported to behave well and to learn boundaries of behaviour, often telling friends who come to play the rules. They receive guidance and positive praise from the childminder. The childminder promotes children's good health. For example, she provides active play outside and lots of exercise, walking in the fresh air each day on their local outings in the community. Children develop good physical skills, such as kicking a ball into a goal and pedalling a tricycle backwards and forwards.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children are not making the progress that they are capable of because not all areas of learning are planned for well. However, children are developing some skills for their future lives, such as when they sing songs and rhymes, and to be personally independent when managing their self-care needs.
