Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

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

 The childminder does not consistently assess children’s stage of development accurately enough or prioritise what they need to learn next.   The childminder does not consistently support children’s communication and language well enough to help them to make good or better progress in this aspect of their development.   The childminder does not make the best use of her evaluation of the setting to focus her plans for improvement on developing her own practice and enhancing outcomes of the children she is caring for.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children are content and comfortable in the childminder’s care, and develop an attachment to her. She works well with parents and carers to meet children’s needs.   Overall, the childminder shares useful information with parents and carers. She provides an account of the children’s day so that parents and carers are kept up to date about their child’s routines. She provides information about children’s learning.   The childminder provides regular opportunities for children to develop their social skills. They attend stay-and-play sessions and they meet up with other children.   

Inspection activities

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

In the short time the childminder has been registered, she has started to reflect on her own practice and identify areas where she feels she needs to improve. However, the childminder does not focus her plans for improvement well enough. She does not ensure that she can achieve her targets to develop her own practice and enhance outcomes for children. The childminder does act on advice from her early years adviser. For example, she gathers useful information so that she knows what children can do in their development when they first start with her. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has completed training in safeguarding in preparation for childminding. She is able to explain the appropriate procedures to follow if she has any child protection concerns about a child. The childminder assesses the risks within the setting effectively to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder regularly observes children's learning. However, she does not make good enough use of this information to accurately assess what children can already do or to precisely establish what they need to learn next. The childminder does not provide a good enough focus on developing children's communication and language skills. She does support children's physical development effectively. For example, she supports younger children to stand and encourages them to crawl. Children enjoy exploring the toys and resources, how they feel and the sounds they make.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides age-appropriate toys and resources. She organises these effectively to promote children's safety and support their independence. The childminder has a suitable understanding of how to help children to learn about keeping themselves safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

The lack of accuracy in the assessment of children's learning and inconsistency of support for their communication and language means that children are not helped to make the best possible progress in their learning. However, children are developing some of the skills they need for their future learning. For example, they are confident to explore the environment and the toys and resources.
