p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The childminder does not evaluate her practice effectively and requirements are not all met. She has not addressed all of the actions set at the previous inspection. n The childminder does not identify risks to children's safety effectively. n The childminder does not ensure that areas where food is prepared are clean. She does not maintain equipment well enough to ensure that infection does not spread. n The childminder does not teach children clear boundaries for their behaviour. n Teaching does not take account of what children know and are ready to learn next. n On occasions, the childminder does not teach new vocabulary to younger children effectively.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Children demonstrate that they feel secure. They form positive relationships with the childminder. n Parents praise the childminder's provision. They say that she keeps them informed of children's progress and shares information about daily care routines. n Children go on interesting outings that help them to learn about the world. For example, they go to pick blackberries. This helps children to understand where food comes from and they learn to be careful of the thorns.

p.2

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during daily routines and activities. She discussed planned activities with the childminder and assessed the impact that interactions and activities have on children's learning. n The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as evidence of the childminder's suitability to work with children. n The inspector took account of the views of parents and carers.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder does not manage risks to children's safety well enough. For example, she places wooden items on a gas hob. This poses a fire risk. The childminder has improved some aspects of food safety since the previous inspection. However, hygiene remains poor overall. For example, kitchen surfaces and the floor are not clean. A plastic-covered mattress used for sleeping and nappy changes has been extensively repaired with tape. This means that it cannot be cleaned effectively. The childminder has improved her knowledge of child protection matters. For example, she knows the action she must take if an allegation is made against her. In addition, she demonstrates an understanding of the 'Prevent' duty guidance. The well-qualified childminder demonstrates an intention to improve. She has benefited from advice and training provided by the local authority.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder has begun to accurately track children's progress towards the early learning goals. However, her teaching does not take account of what children need to learn next. For example, pre-school children demonstrate that they do not have the skills and knowledge they need to count small groups of items. The childminder asks children questions that require them to count how many items there are. However, she does not teach them the counting skills that they need. This does not help children to make good progress. That said, the childminder leads children in interesting conversations about past events, such as an outing to collect blackberries. Children's early literacy is promoted. For instance, they frequently visit the library to choose books. However, the childminder sometimes does not introduce new vocabulary effectively enough when she interacts with younger children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management impact negatively on children's welfare. Furthermore, the childminder does not consistently promote children's positive behaviour. For instance, some children ignore her instructions when she is out of sight. This sometimes compromises children's safety and does not help them to develop self- control. However, children develop good habits in personal hygiene. For example, they know why they must wash their hands after digging in soil. Children help to prepare food. For instance, they put their own choice of toppings on individual pizzas. This promotes children's independence and they begin to express their own preferences. Children play outside every day. This helps to promote their well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Weaknesses in teaching mean that children do not make good progress from their starting points. However, they develop the basic skills and knowledge they need to start school. Children know the words and actions to familiar rhymes. They enjoy listening to stories. Children put on and take off their shoes. They develop independence in using the toilet. Children demonstrate curiosity and ask questions. They talk about events in the past and future. Children know that eating fresh fruit helps to keep them healthy.
