p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n At times when the childminder is minding more than three children, she does not provide them with consistently good learning experiences. Consequently, she does not ignite children's individual interests and they are not fully motivated to play and learn. n The childminder does not plan effectively for each child's learning. Consequently, activities and the learning environment do not consistently provide appropriate levels of challenge and engagement, or fully meet children's individual learning needs. This means that the childminder does not support children fully to make as much progress as possible. n The childminder does not reflect on the quality of the provision effectively enough to identify where improvements can be made to promote children's learning fully. Her professional development is not sufficiently focused on developing her teaching skills to achieve good outcomes for children's learning.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The childminder is friendly and kind. Children form close attachments with her and enjoy being in her care. n The childminder encourages children to attempt everyday tasks for themselves and helps them to gain independence. Children persevere as they dress in their outdoor clothes. n The childminder provides children with activities to help them to develop their understanding of the world. Children learn about growth and changes over time, such as plant decay.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector spoke with the childminder and children at appropriate times during the inspection and carried out a joint evaluation of the teaching and learning with the childminder. n The inspector had a tour of the areas of the childminder's home used by children. n The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as policies and children's records. n The inspector took account of parents' views.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a suitable understanding of the procedures to follow if she has any concerns about a child's welfare. She does not reflect accurately on the service she provides and the quality of the provision has declined. The childminder has not given careful enough consideration to how she will meet the learning needs of all children on days when she is minding more children than she usually does. Although she meets their individual care needs, their learning experiences are not all sufficiently catered for. The childminder does not actively seek ways to maintain and continue improving her personal effectiveness and teaching skills. The childminder works effectively with parents and her co-childminder to exchange information about children's needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The quality of teaching is variable. The childminder makes accurate assessments of children's progress. However, she does not use this information consistently well to plan learning experiences that challenge each child. She does not organise some activities to successfully engage and motivate all children. For example, the childminder did not organise a cooking activity effectively to ensure that all children had enough tools and, as a result, they quickly lost interest. This said, children enjoy practising their physical skills, such as using bicycles and scooters. The childminder provides opportunities for children to develop their early literacy and mathematical understanding. Children learn that text conveys meaning as they look at recipes. They explore their understanding of capacity, such as full and empty.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder helps children to learn about effective hygiene routines and making healthy food choices. However, she does not place a high enough regard on maintaining a stimulating learning environment to ensure that it fully reflects children's interests. This means that, at times, she is unable to keep children fully motivated and interested in their play and learning. The childminder helps children to gain an awareness of the wider world. They meet new people in the local community and learn about diversity. She is a positive role model and lets children know what her clear expectations are. This supports their good behaviour effectively and children learn to share and take turns.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Due to the weaknesses in teaching, children are not fully supported to make the progress they could. However, they gain some useful skills that prepare them for their future learning and starting school. Children develop their communication skills. They listen and respond to questions as they attempt to recall past experiences. They develop stories in their role play and use their imaginations, for example pretending to sell ice cream to their friends. Children gain an understanding of the uses of technology and learn to operate calculators.
