p.1

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

 The childminder has not completed the process to notify Ofsted of all persons aged over 16 years living on the premises to ensure suitability checks are finalised.  The childminder does not always gather sufficient information from parents regarding children's capabilities on entry to plan for their next steps in learning from the outset.  The childminder does not consistently share information with other settings children attend to complement their learning further.  Although the childminder makes some evaluation of her practice, she does not always do so effectively to help her develop her teaching further. She does not include the views of all parents and children to fully support her continuous improvement.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children behave very well. They understand the childminder's expectations and have a warm bond with her. Children enjoy their play and are motivated to learn.  The well-qualified childminder provides a welcoming environment. Children have easy access to a range of resources and equipment that reflects their individual needs and interests.  Children have high levels of confidence and self-esteem. The childminder praises children effectively and is a positive role model.

Due Date

 develop the gathering of information from parents about children's capabilities when they start and use this information to plan for their next steps in learning  improve the sharing of information with other early years settings that children attend, so there is a consistent approach to their learning and development  develop self-evaluation to identify areas to further improve teaching and outcomes for children, and include the views of parents and children.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector completed an evaluation of an activity with the childminder.  The inspector held discussions with the childminder. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons living in the household.  The inspector spoke to children during the inspection.  The inspector discussed the childminder's self-evaluation.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder knows the procedures to follow should she have any concerns about a child's welfare. However, she has not provided relevant information to Ofsted about all adults living on the premises to complete a relevant suitability check. However, this does not have a significant impact on children's welfare as they are supervised at all times. The childminder completes risk assessments to identify and address potential hazards. She has begun to evaluate her setting however she does not fully involve parents and children. The childminder does not identify all areas to improve her practice and teaching further. She has not established links with other settings where children also attend to help support continuity in their care and learning. The childminder shares information with parents to ensure they are kept informed about their child's day. However, she does not gather enough information from parents when

children first start. This has a negative impact on her ability to plan effectively for children from the very beginning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are beginning to use their imaginations. They dress up and pretend to be their favourite superhero. Children enjoy decorating biscuits and learn about colours as they mix different food colouring into the icing sugar. The childminder supports children's mathematical development appropriately. For instance, she teaches children new words to compare the size of objects. Children have fun playing with the pirate ship and toy figures. The childminder makes regular observations and monitors children's progress. She knows children well and plans effectively to close any identified gaps in learning, so children quickly catch up.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Weaknesses in leadership and management mean that children do not always enjoy the highest level of well-being. Children have many opportunities to play out in the fresh air, such as on outings to the local parks. The childminder teaches children how to keep themselves safe, for example, when crossing busy roads on outings. Children show their understanding of good hygiene practices, such as when washing their hands before mealtimes. The childminder responds to their needs appropriately, providing them with drinks, food and rest to support their well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop their independence and self-select from a wide range of resources. They develop confidence, learn to socialise, take turns and be considerate of one another. The childminder encourages the children to become independent and to manage their own care needs, such taking their own shoes off when coming indoors. Children confidently interact with adults. They make good progress in the care of the childminder. Children develop a wide range of skills in preparation for their learning at nursery and eventually school.
