p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n Although the childminder has a suitable knowledge of most areas of safeguarding, she does not have a secure understanding of some of the wider aspects and possible risks to children. n The childminder does not make effective use of all children's assessments and the activities she provides to support their next steps for learning well in all areas. n The childminder does not consistently exchange detailed information with parents and the other settings children attend to help complement and support children's development as well as possible.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Children are happy and settled, and develop warm and trusting relationships with the childminder. They laugh frequently and enjoy playing together. n The childminder helps children to develop healthy lifestyles. For instance, children benefit from lots of outdoor play, active games and enjoy sociable mealtimes with healthy food choices. n The childminder values professional development to improve her skills, and to support aspects of children's learning. For example, she uses ideas from training to encourage younger children to engage better in play and to move in different ways to develop their physical skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The childminder understands some of the signs that a child might be at risk of harm. She knows the correct procedures to follow if she has concerns about a child's welfare. However, she does not have a good understanding of all the wider aspects of safeguarding and the possible risks to children, such as children at risk of female genital mutilation. The childminder maintains a secure environment for children in her care. For example, she ensures all safety measures are in place before children arrive and completes risk assessments for all new outings. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder reflects on some aspects of her provision to make improvements. She ensures her assistant understands the policies and procedures to meet children's needs. The childminder obtains information about children's routines and development from parents when children start. However, she does not work closely with parents and other

settings children attend as children progress to complement their learning further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder observes children to assess their development and progress. However, she does not use assessments consistently well to prioritise children's next steps for learning to help them make better progress in all areas, such as language development. She does not use and adapt activities consistently well to help children learn new skills. For example, children enjoy chasing bubbles she blows from a bubble machine and wand. However, when they ask to have a turn she discourages them in case they break them or spill the mixture. The childminder provides some challenges to support children's learning further. For instance, she encourages children to count to support their mathematical development further and to find objects in a certain colour to reinforce their understanding of colour. She helps children to think and make decisions, such as with picture memory games, during which children concentrate well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The childminder does not use activities and resources consistently well to encourage children's ideas and motivation to learn. For example, children try to create games making pretend petrol for the car with leaves, and birthday cake ingredients from gravel outside. The childminder does not help them to find more suitable materials when she asks them not to use these, and children abandon their game. Children behave well and respond positively to the childminder's warm interactions. The childminder helps children to learn about their world, such as on walks to explore the natural environment and reading books to learn about people's diverse lives.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Overall, children make expected progress for their age in most areas of development. However, they do not all benefit from activities and support to help them make better progress in some areas, such as their language development and writing skills. Most children gain some of the skills they need for their future learning. They learn to manage tasks for themselves to build their independence and confidence. Children develop good social skills and learn to follow instructions well.
