p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n The childminder has not maintained a valid paediatric first-aid certificate. n The childminder does not reflect upon her practice well enough to ensure that she meets all statutory requirements. n The childminder has not developed highly effective partnerships with all other settings that children attend in order to fully support continuity for children's learning.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The childminder knows children in her care well and has a good understanding of what they need to learn next. She provides a wide range of resources and activities that she knows will interest and engage them. Children make good progress in their learning and development. n The childminder is calm and patient with children. She gives plenty of praise and encouragement, which helps to build children's self-esteem and confidence. Children understand her expectations and behave extremely well. n The childminder has formed effective relationships with parents. She keeps them regularly informed, through progress summaries, about their child's achievements and what they are learning next. This helps parents to support their children further at home. Parents are highly complimentary of the childminder. They comment that their children are treated as part of the childminder's family and that they really enjoy going

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of how to recognise and deal with any concerns about a child's welfare. She has attended a designated safeguarding lead course, which has also helped her to understand wider safeguarding issues. However, the childminder has not maintained a valid paediatric first-aid certificate. Nevertheless, the impact on children is reduced because the childminder is aware of relevant first-aid practice. The way in which the childminder evaluates her practice is not yet robust enough to support her in fully meeting all statutory requirements. However, she gets views from parents about her setting and acts upon the feedback given. The childminder talks to staff at other settings that children attend. However, the sharing of information on what children are learning next is not yet highly effective to fully support continuity.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder effectively adapts activities that children enjoy to support what they need to learn next. For example, children enjoy spending long periods of time playing with pipettes in the water tray. The childminder builds upon this interest and incorporates the different areas of learning into the play. For example, she supports children to count, such as how many squirts it takes to fill different containers. She adds a chalk board for children to make marks with the water, alongside a variety of brushes. She encourages children to pour water from different jars with wide and narrow necks and supports them to think about 'full' and 'empty', 'big' and 'small'. This helps to develop their control and strengthens muscles in their hands in preparation for early writing. She also effectively supports their mathematical awareness. The childminder joins in with children's imaginative play, for example, creating a story with the 'fish' in

the water. The childminder repeats what children say to help them to hear the correct pronunciation of words.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder has not maintained a valid paediatric first-aid certificate. However, the risk to children is not significant because the childminder has completed a shorter course. She demonstrates some knowledge of first aid and how she would respond to accidents. The childminder provides a welcoming environment where children make choices about their own play. Children's work is displayed and they enjoy talking about who drew which picture. This helps to develop their sense of belonging and promotes their independence well. The childminder regularly meets with another childminder and her minded children. This helps children to build friendships and develop social skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are happy and have formed secure relationships with the childminder and their peers. They happily share resources and play alongside each other, such as playing with cars and ramps. They enjoy making 'muddy puddles' with play dough and using a variety of toy characters and different tools to make marks. Children are making good progress in their learning and development. They develop the dispositions and attitudes needed for their future learning and in readiness for school.
