p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n The childminder does not complete the progress check for children aged between two and three years and share this information with parents. This does not support the childminder in helping children to make good progress. n The childminder does not consistently model correct words for the youngest children to promote the rapid development of their language and speech skills.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Children build secure relationships with the childminder and her assistant. They are caring and attentive to children's care needs. n Since the previous inspection and following her own self-evaluation, the childminder has made improvements to how she supports children's independence. For example, children proudly put their shoes on by themselves and show independence at mealtimes. n Parents praise the childminder and her assistant. They comment that their children are happy, confident and thoroughly enjoy the time they spend together. n The childminder and her assistant act as positive role models to children. Children are learning how to share, take turns and consider one another's feelings.

Inspection activities n The inspector spoke with the childminder, assistant and children at suitable times throughout the inspection. n The inspector looked at a range of documentation, including the childminder's qualifications, policies and procedures. n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector took account of the views of parents through reading the written feedback provided. n The inspector and the childminder jointly observed and evaluated the effectiveness of an activity together.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder does not have a secure knowledge of all the learning and development requirements of early years foundation stage. For instance, she has not completed the required progress checks for children aged between two and three years and shared the findings with parents. As a result, she has not focussed on improving outcomes for young children swiftly enough. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure knowledge of child protection issues and clearly knows the signs of abuse and neglect. She knows how to make a referral and ensures her assistant knows the processes that must be followed. The childminder is aware of the importance of keeping children safe and ensures her assistant follows her policies and procedures correctly. The childminder has regular supervision meetings to support her assistant's ongoing professional development. The childminder completes mandatory training and develops her childcare

knowledge. For example, she reads childcare literature and networks with other childminders.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder interacts with children in their play. She makes some observations of children's achievements and plans activities that she knows will be of interest to them. She shares information with parents about children's activities and well-being. The childminder supports children's communication and language sufficiently. However, very occasionally incorrect words are being used when talking with children. This means children do not always hear the correct pronunciation of words to fully support their communication and language development. The childminder supports children's mathematical development. For instance, children weigh out ingredients during a cookery session. They recognise some numbers and use the skills of adding and subtracting as they decide how much honey they need to make the mixture sticky.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy regular outings in the local community. They visit local shops, parks and recently visited the fire station, they are developing a good understanding of the world around them. The childminder has made secure links with other early years provisions that children attend, this supports continuity of care. Children are learning how to lead a healthy lifestyle. For example, they regularly play outside in the fresh air and help to make healthy foods, such as flapjacks and soup.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

The lack of assessment means the childminder is not always able to swiftly identify and address any emerging development concerns. Consequently, children are not making good enough progress. However, children do gain some skills to help them for their future learning, including going on to school. For example, they gain good social skills and develop self-care skills. Children are keen to explore the available toys and resources with confidence. They learn about the similarities and differences between themselves and others.
