p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n The childminder does not have fully effective procedures in place for administering medicines. She does not obtain the required written permission from parents before administering particular medicines. n The childminder does not have effective procedures for recording the names of children being cared for each day and their hours of attendance. n At times, the childminder does not use her observations and assessments of children's learning effectively to help parents fully understand their children's achievements.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The childminder reflects on her own practice suitably well. She takes appropriate steps to improve her setting. For example, she has recently improved opportunities for younger children to play outdoors. This helps them to have access to fresh air and exercise each day. n The childminder gathers information about children's routines before they begin at her setting. For instance, she completes home visits and talks to parents about children's likes and preferences. This helps children to settle in well. n The childminder uses positive language and praises children's good behaviour. This helps to promote their self-esteem. n Children make good progress from their starting points. They are gaining the skills needed for the next stage in their learning.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector had a tour of the parts of the childminder's home that children use. n The inspector observed the childminder interacting with children and spoke with her at different times during the inspection. n The inspector looked at a range of documentation and spoke to the childminder about how she evaluates the effectiveness of her provision. n The inspector looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of the childminder and persons living in the household. n The inspector spoke to parents and considered their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder does not have an effective procedure for administering medicines. For example, she does not seek the required written permissions from parents to administer particular prescription and non-prescription medicines. She does not keep the required records of the children present each day and their hours of attendance. These are breaches of requirements. However, the childminder considers how to minimise risks to children's safety when they are on outings suitably well. For instance, she takes emergency contact details, a first-aid kit, drinking water, spare clothes and blankets during trips in her car. The childminder has a secure understanding of the potential signs and symptoms of abuse. She knows the procedures to follow should she have a concern about children's welfare. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children in her care well. She monitors what they know and can do. She identifies any gaps in children's learning and provides opportunities for them to practise their skills. This helps them to make good progress. For example, children develop their physical skills. They learn how to climb safely with alternate feet on play equipment at the local park. They practise drinking from a cup and feeding themselves with spoons. The childminder provides learning opportunities which children enjoy and engage with. For example, children's eyes light up as they join the childminder singing songs with actions. The childminder develops positive partnerships with parents. She seeks their views and considers these as she reflects on how to improve her setting. Through discussions with the inspector, the childminder shows that she understands how she can build positive relationships with other settings that children attend.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder does not have fully effective processes in place to keep the required records of information about children's welfare. Nevertheless, her home is bright and clean and she has considered the layout of the spaces used for children well. The childminder helps children to learn about their family and community. This helps to support their understanding of similarities and differences. For instance, the childminder encourages children to bring in photographs of their family and home. Children enjoy looking at these with their friends. The childminder seeks professional development opportunities. She has found out about how to develop secure attachments with children. This is having a positive impact. For example, the childminder develops consistent routines for particular times of day, such as nappy changing and sleep time. Children know what to expect and cooperate happily.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning. They develop their language skills, babbling and using simple words. They show an interest in books, and bounce and clap with excitement as they read stories. They develop their mathematical skills and begin to recognise numbers in their play. Younger children pull themselves up to standing and walk around holding onto furniture.
