p.1

This provision is inadequate

 The childminder has not kept up to date with legislative changes and her understanding of the statutory requirements is poor. In addition, she fails to safeguard children's welfare or promote their learning and development adequately.  The childminder has failed to supply Ofsted with all the necessary information to check that all adults living at the home are suitable. This means children's safety is compromised.  The childminder does not fully maintain a daily record of the names of children looked after on the premises, including their hours of attendance  The childminder has a poor understanding of how babies learn and develop.  The childminder does not plan effective interventions to help children catch up when there are gaps in their learning. She does not fully provide parents with information about how they can further support children's development at home.  The childminder does not provide enough opportunities for children to become more

aware of the similarities and differences between themselves and other people.  Self-evaluation is not effective. The childminder does not fully reflect on her practice or set targets for improvements that raise the quality of her teaching and outcomes for children.  The childminder does not target her professional development plans precisely to achieve and maintain a good quality of teaching.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children have very strong, affectionate bonds with the childminder. They confidently ask for resources as they make some independent choices about their play.  Parents state they are pleased with the service and their children are happy to attend.

p.3

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector looked at children's records and a range of other documentation, including policies and procedures.  The inspector held discussions with the childminder throughout the inspection.  The inspector discussed the childminder's self-evaluation and took account of the views of parents.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Leadership and management of the childminding provision are inadequate. The childminder has a poor understanding of statutory requirements and lacks awareness of government guidance. Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder has not ensured that Ofsted can check the suitability of people over the age of 16 years living in her home. This impacts on her ability to ensure children's safety. The childminder does not understand her responsibilities with regard to protecting children and keeping them safe from harm. She has not maintained the required daily record of the names of all the children being cared for on the premises. This does not help to ensure children's safety, especially in the event of an emergency situation. Furthermore, recommendations for improvement raised at the last inspection have not been fully addressed. This demonstrates her lack of knowledge and ambition for children. The childminder holds a relevant childcare

qualification. However, she has not targeted her professional development to ensure she promotes children's learning well. The childminder is not aware of the weaknesses in her provision and has failed to identify where requirements are not met. The childminder maintains a secure home. She is aware of the signs of child abuse and understands how to refer concerns.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The quality of teaching is inconsistent. The childminder has a weak knowledge of the learning and development requirements. The childminder has some understanding of child development and what children enjoy doing. For example, she sits alongside children and names the different colours as they play with bricks. Babies are not always provided with stimulating activities. The childminder fails to respond to babies' cues and misses too many opportunities to engage them in playful interactions. The childminder gains information about children's routines and some developmental information when children start. However, she does not ensure that effective interventions are put in place to help very young children catch up in their learning. The childminder does not provide useful information to help parents support their children's development at home. Children play with jigsaws, which supports their developing hand-to-eye coordination skills. The

p.4

childminder interacts with the children and does support their language development by talking to them and repeating words back. The childminder has little awareness of how to promote children's developing understanding of diversity and the similarities and differences between themselves and other people.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The childminder has not assured children's welfare and development. Children's emotional well-being is, sometimes, not fostered well. This is because the childminder is inconsistent in meeting babies' individual care and learning needs. The childminder provides a selection of resources which she organises so that children can make some choices in their play. The childminder is a good role model. She gives older children consistent guidance about what is acceptable behaviour. Children cooperate and are learning to share and take turns. The childminder promotes effective hygiene practices, such as washing hands before meals and snacks. Children have plenty of opportunities to be physically active both in the garden and on trips to local play gyms.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children are not making as much progress as they can. Generally, children are working within the range of development that is typical for their age. However, the childminder does not identify gaps in their development swiftly enough or develop targeted interventions to support them to make better progress.
