p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n The childminder understands how to protect children, overall. However, she has not updated her knowledge and training further to include wider aspects of safeguarding, such as female genital mutilation and domestic violence. n The childminder does not always persevere in sharing information with other early years settings to help children settle. n The childminder does not gather as much information as possible when children start at the setting to help influence her initial planning. n As yet, the childminder has not used her training to provide a wider range of resources to extend children's thinking and creativity.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Children develop good communication and language skills. The childminder's positive interactions help children build vocabulary and extend their thinking to make connections between experiences. n Children form strong bonds with the childminder, who knows them well. They develop high levels of self-esteem. For example, children keenly look through their photograph album, recall their experiences and talk about their friends. n The childminder uses children's interests well to plan a range of experiences that they enjoy. Children make good progress from their individual starting points.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her responsibilities to report any concerns about a child's welfare. However, she has not extended her knowledge to include other aspects of safeguarding, such as female genital mutilation, radicalisation and domestic violence. The childminder evaluates her provision and has addressed recommendations raised at the last inspection. For example, she has made resources easily available to children so that they can make decisions about their play. The childminder works closely with parents to ensure she meets children's care needs effectively. She works with parents and other professionals to monitor children's progress and to close any gaps in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder involves children well in their learning and they show great motivation. She knows them well and assesses their progress efficiently. Children feel safe with the childminder, who helps them build their confidence to explore independently. Older children are confident communicators. They talk about a recent visit to the zoo, using specific language to describe what they saw. They show great curiosity when sharing a map and use language well to make comparisons. For example, children confidently ask if the hippopotamus is the same size as an elephant's trunk. The childminder questions children effectively to extend their thinking.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Gaps in the childminder's safeguarding knowledge affect her ability to support children's welfare fully. Nevertheless, the childminder protects children on outings and provides numerous opportunities for children to be outside and active. She helps children learn how to keep themselves safe. For example, she provides explanations so that children know why the cushions have been placed on the hearth and encourages them to think about what might happen if they were removed. The childminder is a good role model and helps children to manage their behaviour and to respect each other's choices.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and are well prepared for their next stage in learning. Older children develop good literacy skills, for example, as they use their knowledge of letters and sounds to begin to read independently. Children enjoy exploring number books and listening to stories. For example, older children recognise the numbers on the page and find the required amount of objects. They show interest in early calculation, making comparisons between the size of the groups.
