p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n The childminder does not make good enough use of what she knows from observing and assessing children's development. She does not always provide activities that are suitably challenging and engaging. n The childminder does not use information from parents to help her rigorously monitor children's progress and better target their next steps in learning. n The childminder sometimes does not allow children to fully explore the resources and activities they have chosen for themselves, to further enhance their learning.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The childminder is extremely friendly and a positive role model for children. She creates a welcoming, homely atmosphere which children enter happily. n The childminder supports children's self-confidence and self-esteem very well. She gives children praise for trying and encourages them to try again. n The childminder supports children's physical health well. She encourages children to play outdoors for exercise and fresh air. They use physical play equipment to develop their large and small muscles.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder does not use rigorous methods to monitor children's progress or discuss this regularly with parents. She identifies some of children's achievements but does not use these to sharply focus on children's next steps in learning. The childminder is suitably qualified. She is currently undertaking a higher level qualification to enhance her existing knowledge of child development. This demonstrates her commitment to develop the overall quality of her setting. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands how to identify and manage a range of safeguarding and child protection issues. She updates her risk assessments to identify and minimise potential hazards in her home. Children are encouraged to keep themselves safe when using equipment.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder understands child development. However, she does not make effective use of what she knows about children's interests and existing skills to plan activities that are sufficiently challenging and enjoyable. The childminder does not always make good use of opportunities to let children fully explore activities to their own satisfaction. She sometimes tries to move children on too quickly to different activities. However, children enjoy exploring resources. They seek the childminder out to become involved in their games. For example, they bring her a doll and play food resources to feed the doll. The childminder talks to children as they play, modelling descriptive words and introducing number language. She counts, for example, as children carefully stack blocks. They knock the tower over, giggling.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is very positive and upbeat. Her caring, friendly attitude helps children to feel safe and confident in her home. She successfully promotes children's sense of achievement using well-timed praise and encouragement. The childminder helps children to understand equality and diversity. For example, she sings songs which help children understand how to say 'hello' in different languages. Children show they are willing to try things they find challenging. The childminder cooks fresh, nutritionally balanced meals which meet children's dietary requirements. She reminds children to drink water throughout the day, to keep them hydrated.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Overall, children do not make the best possible progress from their starting points due to the weaknesses in planning. Children are sociable and polite. They seek adults out for support, where required, and are gaining appropriate communication skills. They begin to make links between actions and words as they sing action rhymes. They develop their hand and finger muscles using play dough, in preparation for writing.
