p.1

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

n On occasions, the childminder has not maintained correct adult-to-child ratios. She has now employed an assistant to minimise any impact on children's welfare. n The childminder's monitoring of children's progress and activity planning is not fully effective. She does not make accurate assessments to identify next steps in learning to support all children to make good progress, and to identify and address any gaps in their learning. n The childminder has not informed Ofsted about changes to people living in the home. n The childminder does not consistently encourage children to develop their independence skills fully and take responsibility for their own personal care needs. She is sometimes too quick to help children with tasks, such as managing their own clothing.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The welcoming and nurturing childminder provides an inviting and homely environment. Children develop close bonds with her as she takes time to get to know them. This contributes towards their emotional security and confidence. n The childminder promotes children's health and physical development effectively. She provides children with nutritious meals and healthy snacks. n The childminder has established positive partnerships with parents. She obtains useful information about children's care needs and provides parents with a daily account of their children's routines and activities.

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector completed a joint evaluation of an activity with the childminder. n This inspection was carried out following the risk assessment process. The inspector held a number of discussions with the childminder. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons living and working in the household. n The inspector spoke to children and the assistant during the inspection. n The inspector took account of the views of parents at the inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder has not ensured that she meets the correct ratios for children at all times. However, she has now employed an assistant and she has submitted the appropriate forms to Ofsted for approval. The childminder has procedures in place to monitor the suitability of the assistant and has plans for her to attend any necessary training, such as first aid. The childminder has not informed Ofsted about changes to household members. This is an administrative oversight on her part and does not put children's safety and welfare at significant risk. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good awareness of safeguarding children and the procedures to follow should she have any concerns about the welfare of children in her care. The childminder provides a safe and secure environment for children. She carries out regular risk assessments, indoors and outdoors, to identify and minimise possible hazards.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder demonstrates a understanding of each child's abilities and interests. She plans activities that motivate and engage children in their learning. For example, she prepares them to go for a walk in the local environment by asking them about what they might see. Children put forward suggestions, such as cats, people and cars. The childminder writes a list and they take it with them to refer to. There are lots of discussions about what they can see and the childminder includes mathematical skills, such as counting how many red cars there are. However, though the childminder has guidance for monitoring children's progress in their learning, she is yet to to carry out accurate assessments of their development. This means that she does not identify accurate next steps in learning for each child and whether there are any delays or gaps in their development. The childminder and her assistant support children's growing

communication skills well. For instance, they model the correct pronunciation of words and encourage children to repeat what they say.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Though the childminder has occasionally not met the correct ratios, the employment of a new assistant now limits the impact on children's safety. The childminder and her assistant are clear about what is acceptable behaviour. They work closely in partnership with parents to use the same strategies in the children's home and the setting. This provides continuity for children and they show that they are learning well about right from wrong. The childminder regularly takes children on outings and uses these opportunities to teach children about managing their own safety. For example, they stop, look and listen before they cross the road.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Weaknesses in assessment of children's learning and development mean that children do not make good enough progress. Nevertheless, children are developing some of the skills to support their future learning. They build relationships with one another and learn to take turns in their play. Children are confident to engage with visitors and in new social situations. They are developing their early literacy skills and enjoy making marks on paper and listening to their favourite stories.
