Effectiveness of the leadership and management Requires improvement Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Requires improvement Personal development, behaviour and welfare Requires improvement Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

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

 The childminder does not use information from parents about what their children can do. She does not use her own observations to plan interesting and challenging experiences for them. As a result, children do not made good progress in their learning.  The childminder is inconsistent in her teaching. Older children do not have chances to use their imagination during play. There are too few resourced for children to fully engage in their learning.  Babies lack attention and interaction with adults. The childminder does not always listen to children or give time for them to respond during routines and play. She misses chances to develop their communication and language skills.  The childminder does not reflect on her practices well enough. She has not developed her knowledge and skills to help children make good progress.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children are well behaved. They are happy and settled in the childminder's care.  Children learn how to take care of their environment and themselves as part of their routine.

Inspection activities

 We carried out this inspection following concerns received about the childminder.  The inspector carried out observations of the childminder interacting with the children and held discussions with the childminder at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector assessed the quality of teaching and the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector looked at relevant documentation, including children's learning records and safeguarding policies and procedures.  The inspector took into account the views of parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder does not reflect on her quality of provision. This means she is unaware of areas of her practice which need improving. The childminder shows some commitment to attending training. However, she doesn't put in place what she has learnt in her practice. This means that she is less effective and children do not make good progress in their learning. Safeguarding is effective. Children have access to a safe environment. The childminder supervises children to keep them safe. She has a secure understanding of current and wider issues of safeguarding. The childminder recognises what to do if there is a concern about the welfare of children. She knows the reporting procedures to follow should concerns arise.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder has appropriate systems in place to track children's progress and learning. She shares information with parents about their children's care and achievements. Her observations of children are accurate. However, the childminder does not always use this information to support children's development. The childminder does not give children enough choice. For example, children are not always able to choose what to use or play with. Babies are not given enough attention. This means that they wander around and are not fully engaged in play and learning activities. Older children show interest as they explore texture and make shapes with red play dough. Although, the childminder interacts with the older children, she talks at the children rather than to them. As a result, she misses chances to develop their communication and language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Babies are happy to play alongside other children. However, the childminder leaves them to play alone. This means they do not get the appropriate attention and support to engage them in play. As a result, this limits the progress they make to their next stage of learning. Children are clearly secure and are happy in the childminder's care. They are well-behaved and play cooperatively alongside each other. The childminder works with parents to help children transition to other settings. She recognises when children do things well and praises them for their efforts. This helps children develop their confidence and self- esteem. The childminder promotes children's health and well-being. She gives children healthy snacks to eat. Children enjoy regular outings for fresh air and exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children are developing some skills for the future, such as their self-care. For example, children learn to take care of themselves and become independent. They use the toilet, feed themselves and help to tidy up. However, the childminder does not use what she already knows about children to plan challenging experiences for them. This means that children do not make as much progress as they could.
