Inspection activities

 The inspector was shown areas of the premises used for childminding purposes.  The inspector discussed the children's development and how the childminder works with other providers.  The inspector examined a selection of documentation, including the incident log, accident records and children's records.  The inspector observed the childminder's interactions with the children.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder fails to recognise and respond adequately to potential risks to children's welfare. For example, when a child disclosed information that suggested their safety was compromised while in the care of others, she failed to report her concerns to relevant agencies. The childminder did not take decisive action when a stranger approached children during a recent outing. She has not considered what to do to effectively minimise such risks in the future. The childminder fails to maintain a safe play environment. On the day of the inspection, power tools, a hammer, and disinfectant sprays were accessible to young children. The childminder does not meet the requirement to keep a record of children's attendance.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder fails to identify gaps in children's development and she does not do enough to support children's learning. Children do not enjoy a varied range of activities that complement their learning elsewhere. The childminder fails to provide them with access to any toys or planned activities on their return from nursery. They sit compliantly for long periods of time waiting for younger children to wake up before embarking on the school run. The childminder does not use information that other providers have shared with her effectively to inform her assessments or planning for children's learning. Younger children also spend long periods of time on the school run or being a part of the childminder's daily tasks, such as dog walking or personal appointments. They do not benefit from enjoyable activities based on their interests.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's safety is compromised because the play spaces are not safe and they are exposed to risks. The childminder does not provide children with a range of play opportunities or resources that ignite their interest or motivate them to learn. Older children are provided with adequate opportunities to develop their self-care skills. Children who attend after nursery do not develop a sense of self-worth as they receive very little positive attention. There are too few opportunities for children to learn about keeping themselves safe or to learn about the wider community. Children rest according to their home routines.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children make poor progress in their learning and development in the childminder's care. They show low levels of self-confidence and independence. They do not readily engage with others or make choices in their play. Children do not develop the key skills needed for the next stages in their learning, including school.
