Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

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

n Teaching lacks planning and is not sufficiently focused on the next steps in children's development. n Safeguarding is not yet sufficient enough in relation to monitoring existing injuries. This means that children are not consistently well protected. n Self-evaluation is not good enough to ensure that it is focused on children's learning. As a result children are not well prepared for the next stage in their development. n The childminder and her assistant have not yet gained a sufficient knowledge of the areas of learning to ensure that children make good progress in their learning and development. n Children's personal hygiene is not always promoted adequately. For example, children are not encouraged to wash their hands before having snacks.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The childminder and her assistant have worked hard since the last inspection to focus on updating their knowledge and skills. They completed training which benefits the welfare of the children. n The childminder provides a positive role model for children and shows them how to develop new skills. n Children are happy, secure and settled i the childminder and her assistant's care. n The childminder and her assistant promote behaviour in a consistently positive way. They continually praise children's achievements, which helps to develop children's self- esteem and confidence.

n ensure self-evaluation is secure enough to focus on improving the learning of the children attending and how the service can be improved n ensure routines that promote good personal hygiene are consistent, for example, by teaching children to wash their hands before eating food.

p.2

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector held a number of discussions with the childminder and her assistant. n The inspector took account of the views of parents through written feedback provided. n The inspector looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons living in the household.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistant have worked hard to improve their knowledge around safeguarding since the last inspection. They have attended training and talk about what they have learned together in order to protect children. They are confident in what they would do if they have a concern about a child and they talk to parents about any existing injuries. However, the childminder has not yet considered how she would monitor existing injuries to successfully safeguard children at all times. Evaluation of what the childminder does well is developing. However, she does not identify what can be improved to bring about the most benefit to children's learning. Daily risk assessments ensure that children are cared for in a safe environment. The childminder ensures that children have opportunities to take measured risks. For example, young children begin to learn how to use the slide in the garden independently.

p.3

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Some routines, such as promoting children's personal hygiene, are not always consistent.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder and her assistant are gradually becoming more confident in understanding the areas of learning. They are beginning to develop more understanding of each child's development stages. However, the childminder does not sufficiently focus on children's next steps in their learning. Consequently, children's learning is not always successfully promoted in relation to their individual needs. The childminder is beginning to develop some skills to plan and assess each child's individual development. However, she is less confident in this area. The childminder is beginning to provide a positive role model for the children which supports her in helping to promote their learning. She consistently shows them how to learn new skills, such as blowing the trumpet and how to use stickers to decorate their pictures.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have lovely warm relationships with the childminder and her assistant, even though they have only attended the setting for a short amount of time. The childminder works successfully with parents to get to know the children's needs and routines and follows these in her setting. Consequently, children are settled, happy and approach adults easily for support, to make their needs known. The childminder and her assistant consistently focus on using praise for children's achievements. This works very well in their setting, meaning that children are confident, and have high levels of self-esteem. Celebrating achievements is very much a focus for all of the children who attend. When children overcome their fear of dogs or receive certificates of achievement from school, other children give them a round of applause and they get a medal. Resources and toys are stored at children's level to enable them to successfully make choices. This means

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children move on to other settings with the set of skills that they need to help them continue their learning. However, lack of planning to enable them to make good progress in their development impacts on them making as much progress as they possibly can.
