p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n The childminder's assessments of children's learning are not robust enough to identify any gaps in their development. She does not identify precisely what children need to learn next. n Documentation, including children's individual records, is not always readily available for inspection, therefore the childminder is unable to demonstrate that she keeps and maintains required documentation. n The childminder does not always provide a stimulating learning environment. Children have limited independent choice of toys, which restricts their learning opportunities.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The childminder plans some activities that encourage children to use resources that she knows they will enjoy, and which will maintain their interest. n The childminder interacts with children in a positive manner. Children enjoy lots of eye contact with the childminder, who gives them plenty of praise and encouragement. This helps to promote children's self-esteem and confidence. n Children are settled and happy in the childminder's care. They seek her out for cuddles and she supports their emotional well-being. n The childminder helps children settle well. She ensures they experience continuity in their care routines. n The childminder builds partnerships with parents and other settings children attend. This supports consistency for children's care and learning.

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons living in the household. n The inspector completed a joint evaluation of an activity with the childminder. n The inspector held a number of discussions with the childminder. n The inspector took account of the views of parents through written feedback provided.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Following concerns raised at the last inspection, the childminder has taken some steps to address a significant issue identified. She has improved her knowledge of the learning and development requirements of the early years foundation stage. However, she has not given sufficient regard to ensuring all required records are organised and accessible during the inspection. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder keeps her knowledge of this area up to date. She is alert to any signs that may indicate a child protection concern. She knows how to deal with allegations and report any welfare concerns to the relevant professionals. She implements effective safety and security procedures, and children are protected from harm.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The quality of teaching is variable. The childminder builds up a knowledge of individual children through observing them in their play, which helps her to identify their interests and some achievements. However, although she observes children, it is not robust enough to clearly identify next steps in their learning. The childminder supports younger children's communication and language well. For instance, she introduces new words into their vocabulary as they play and explore. The childminder responds well to younger children's sounds and babbling, and gives them time to respond as she talks to them. The childminder gathers information from parents and shares daily information with them about their children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder does not make the most of the toys and the learning environment she provides for children. Children have a limited choice about what to play with and not all toys are easily accessible. This does not support children to make independent choices and decisions. The childminder shows she is very caring towards all children. She focuses her support on helping children feel safe and secure in her care. She readily provides cuddles for reassurance and supports children's health effectively. Children benefit from being outdoors each day. They have many opportunities to visit local groups and places of interest in the local community. This helps extend their knowledge and understanding of the diverse lives, cultures and backgrounds of people in the community. Children behave well. The childminder is a good role model and helps children to learn how to manage their feelings and behaviour. Children show their

understanding of good hygiene practices, such as when washing their hands before mealtimes. The childminder responds to their needs appropriately, providing them with drinks, food and rest to support their well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Weaknesses in teaching, learning and assessment mean that children do not make the progress that they are capable of. However, children acquire some of the skills that they need to be ready for their eventual move on to school. Young children develop good social skills and initiate play with the childminder, for example through simple peek-a-boo and hiding games. Children are starting to develop literacy skills. For example, they enjoy listening to stories and use the pictures to tell the story.
