Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

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

n The childminder does not use assessment effectively to track all children's achievements clearly enough to recognise what progress has been made. This means that she does not consistently identify and implement exactly what children need to learn next to support them to make progress. n The childminder does not reflect on her practice sufficiently. She does not plan ongoing improvements for her own development to promote good outcomes for children. n The childminder does not consistently inform parents of exactly what their child needs to learn next to help them to further enhance their learning at home.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The childminder interacts with children in a positive manner and at their level. She gives them plenty of praise and encouragement. This helps children to build good emotional attachments and promotes their self-esteem and confidence. n The childminder provides children with activities that encourage them to use resources that she knows they will enjoy and that will maintain their interest. n The childminder has high expectations of behaviour. She gives clear explanations to support children's understanding. They happily share and behave well. n The childminder supports children's communication skills well. She engages them in conversation while they play and during daily routines and she gives children time to respond to her questions.

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 assessed the impact this had on children's learning. n The inspector completed a joint evaluation of an activity with the childminder. n The inspector held a number of discussions with the childminder. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons living in the household. n The inspector took account of the views of parents through written feedback provided. n The inspector spoke with the children during the inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands how to assess risks and supports children to understand how to keep themselves safe. For example, she encourages them to tidy away the toys when they have finished playing with them. She has a suitable knowledge and understanding of the procedures to follow should she have any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder keeps mandatory training, such as first aid up to date. However, the way that she evaluates her practice is not robust enough to help her to identify improvements or training that will help her to improve her own knowledge. The childminder shares children's achievements with parents and tells them about their child's day. Parents are complimentary about the childminder and the care that their children receive. However, the childminder does not consistently inform parents of what their child needs to learn next to help to support their learning at home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder builds up a knowledge of individual children through observing them in their play, which helps her to identify their interests and some achievements. However, she does not use the information well enough, or consistently monitor the progress children are making and implement exactly what children need to learn next. The childminder supports children's mathematical knowledge well. She incorporates colour, number recognition and counting into their play. For example, when playing with trains she reinforces the written numbers that children read to her. The childminder reads non- fiction books with children where she tells them the names of different animals. This helps to build upon children's knowledge and understanding of the world around them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a homely environment where children make choices about their own play. She supports children to develop independence and self-care skills through every day routines. For example, children take their coats off and get their own tissues. They learn about people with disabilities and those who have differences and similarities to themselves. The childminder supports children to learn about keeping themselves healthy. For example, they discuss the healthy foods they eat and the childminder encourages them to drink plenty of water. Children have access to physical exercise through playing in the garden, going to the park and the daily walk to school. She supports children to develop skills, such as sharing with others and taking turns. This helps them to obtain some of the skills, attitudes and dispositions they need to be ready for school.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children make some progress in their learning and development. However, their progress is not monitored securely enough to ensure that what they need to learn next is clearly identified and implemented. Children enjoy playing with train tracks and completing jigsaws together. They share books, sing action songs and practise their colouring skills. They are settled, happy and have formed secure emotional bonds with the childminder and each other.
