Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

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

n The childminder does not use observations well enough to evaluate children's learning and development, and help her identify precisely what they need to learn next. n The childminder's routines are not sufficiently well organised to ensure that children's learning and enjoyment are effectively supported throughout the day. n The childminder does not give children clear guidance about behaviour, to help them understand what they should or should not do.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The childminder has made some progress to address weaknesses identified at her last inspection. She has strengthened her safeguarding procedures, so that all adults living in her home undergo the required checks to assess their suitability. She knows she must report any significant changes or events to Ofsted and keeps accurate records of children's attendance. n Children develop warm and caring relationships with the childminder. They receive plenty of praise in recognition for their efforts, which helps to boost their confidence and self-esteem. n The childminder supports children's interest in books effectively. For instance, she provides masks and props to engage younger children as she reads a story about a caterpillar. n Children's language skills develop well. They use a good range of words to express themselves, and communicate confidently with the childminder and visitors to her setting.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n review the organisation of some daily routines, to ensure that these do not adversely affect the quality of children's learning and enjoyment n improve the way children's behaviour is managed, to help deepen children's understanding of how their actions have an impact on themselves and others.

p.2

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed a range of activities and discussed this with the childminder, to assess the quality of teaching and its impact on children's learning. n The inspector had discussions with the childminder at various points throughout the inspection. n The inspector looked at a sample of documentation. n The inspector spoke to children during the inspection and considered their views and experiences. n The inspector took account of parents' views from their written feedback.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder's provision is not yet good. However, with support from her childminding coordinator, she has improved her understanding of the learning and welfare requirements, and strengthened her systems for self-evaluation. This has helped the childminder to address most of the actions from her previous inspection successfully and to devise plans that focus on those remaining. For example, she accesses regular training to improve her planning and assessments, and attends weekly childminding- network meetings for general support and advice. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge of a broad range of safeguarding issues. She knows the signs that might indicate a child is at risk from harm and what to do should she have concerns about children's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The quality of the childminder's assessments is inconsistent and does not support children's progress as effectively as possible. For periods during the day, the childminder takes children away from their activities so that she can complete tasks, such as cooking. During these times children become bored, as there is not enough to interest and engage them. The childminder understands the importance of working with parents and has strengthened opportunities to exchange information about children's development and welfare when they join her setting. She reviews children's progress between the ages of two and three years, and shares this information with their parents. The childminder has broadened the range of learning resources for children. She provides a variety of age-appropriate activities, which supports children's all-round learning and development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder does not consistently support children's awareness of behavioural expectations or help them to understand the needs and feelings of others. For instance, when children disrupt their peers' play, the childminder packs away the activity rather than addressing the children's actions. The childminder has strengthened her understanding of welfare requirements. She ensures that children have sufficient space within her home, as well as opportunities to play outside each day, such as on visits to the local park. The childminder provides nutritious meals and snacks, which help children to make healthy choices. She supports their independence well.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Weaknesses in the childminder's teaching and assessments mean that children's learning is not supported as well as possible, therefore they may not achieve to the full extent of their abilities. However, children make progress and acquire skills and knowledge to support their future learning. Children learn how to count and begin to differentiate between small and large objects. They develop good hand-to-eye coordination, for instance, as they glue collage materials onto butterfly shapes. Children learn to operate simple tools effectively, such as a machine for shaping play dough.
