p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n The childminder does not monitor her service sufficiently well. She does not ensure that she maintains the required insurance for transporting children in her car while on outings. n Children have few opportunities to participate in role play or activities that help them to develop an understanding of technology.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The childminder establishes close relationships with parents and children from the start. She gathers information about children's needs and interests and uses this to help engage them in learning. n The childminder takes effective steps to support children who speak another language at home. Children have frequent opportunities to socialise and interact with others. This contributes to their communication and language development and they progress well. n The childminder offers high levels of reassurance and comfort to children when they feel insecure. Children's emotional well-being is supported well. n The childminder makes use of resources within her local area to extend children's learning experiences. Children enjoy visits to playgroups, the nearby children's centre, park and library. This helps them to develop a deeper understanding of their place within a wider community.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is alert to the potential risks posed to children. She knows what to do if she has concerns about children's welfare and knows how to access safeguarding advice and support. The childminder has effective systems that contribute to keeping children safe. For example, she shares her mobile phone policy with family members to ensure a consistent approach. The childminder completes training to help her identify and address areas for further improvement and now holds a first-aid qualification. However, her evaluation fails to identify some of the weaknesses in her provision. The childminder understands the importance of communicating with parents. She takes effective steps to ensure information is regularly shared, such as the use of technology to assist translation.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Children generally progress well. The childminder provides effective support to children who need encouragement to take part in activities. She uses their interests well to help them engage in learning. Children develop their hand muscles to draw and make marks on paper. The childminder shares stories with children that they enjoy. This helps them to develop their literacy skills. The childminder provides good opportunities for children to use the language they speak at home during their play and learning. For instance, she makes effective use of key words and phrases gathered from parents, and seeks the support of other practitioners to help with translations. This helps to develop children's communication and language development and they quickly begin to understand and use English. The childminder provides inconsistent opportunities for role play and children are not fully supported to develop an understanding of technology.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder implements a range of procedures that contributes to the health, safety and well-being of children. For example, she maintains accurate records of children's accidents and shares information with parents. However, she does not provide appropriate car insurance to further support their well-being. Children behave well and show that they are happy and secure in the childminder's care. They demonstrate their close bonds with the childminder, for example, as they seek her out for reassurance when around unfamiliar adults. The childminder gives effective support for children to value the language that they speak at home.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children who speak another language at home sing in English as they play. Children show their independence as they take responsibility for their personal care without support. They learn the basic skills needed for their next stages in learning and for school.
