p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n The childminder is not aware of her responsibility to complete a progress check for children aged between two and three years. As a result, parents have not been provided with a written summary of their children's development in the prime areas of learning. n The childminder does not keep an accurate record of children's arrival and departure times each day, as required. n The childminder does not consistently record comprehensive information about children when they start. Consequently, all the required details about the children are not available to the childminder if needed. n The childminder does not find out from parents what children know and can do before children start, to help her plan appropriately for their individual needs. n The childminder does not precisely focus her professional development on raising the quality of teaching to better support outcomes for children.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Children are happy and very settled in the childminder's care. They develop strong bonds with the childminder which helps to increase their confidence and self-esteem. n Children help the childminder to tidy away toys and resources. They know where to put their shoes as they follow and understand the rules in the childminder's home. Children's behaviour is good.

Inspection activities n The inspector had a tour of the premises. n The inspector observed the quality of teaching and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. She jointly evaluated the quality of teaching with the childminder. n The inspector held discussions with the childminder. She looked at relevant documentation, and evidence of the suitability of persons living in the household.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder does not have an effective process to complete a progress check for children aged between two and three years. Consequently, the childminder is unable to plan precisely for individual children's next steps in learning or identify any gaps that may occur in their development. The childminder does not make effective use of self- evaluation and professional development to identify and address gaps in her practice. Records are not maintained to show children's attendance. Consequently, it is not always clear when children arrive and leave the premises. The childminder has a sound knowledge of child protection and completes mandatory training to ensure that she keeps up to date with her knowledge. She is aware of the procedures to follow should she have any concerns about a child's welfare. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder does not ask parents for sufficient information about what their child already knows and can do when they first attend. This means she cannot make accurate assessments of children's starting points and plan appropriately. The childminder interacts well with the children. She offers some guidance during their self-selected activities. The childminder promotes children's mathematical understanding. Children reinforce their understanding of colours and shapes as they attempt to complete the jigsaw puzzles and mix paints together to create a different colour. Children have opportunities to independently choose what they want to play with. They especially enjoy craft activities and eagerly decorate a heart picture for their mothers for Valentine's Day.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder does not gather enough information from parents when their child starts at the setting. For example, she does not hold emergency contact numbers or information about who has parental responsibility for the child. Nevertheless, children have regular opportunities for fresh air and exercise. They visit the local park on the walk to school and use the large equipment to develop their physical skills as they climb, swing and balance. Children develop their self-care skills well. The childminder supports children to successfully put on their own coat and shoes and to feed themselves at mealtimes.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

The weakness in teaching means that children do not make consistently good enough progress in their learning. Despite this, children are developing the basic skills that they need in readiness for school. They listen to the childminder and follow her instructions as they prepare to go outdoors.
