p.1

This provision is inadequate

 The childminder does not ensure that all potential risks to children have been identified and minimised.  Children's behaviour is not managed well enough. They are not developing a good understanding of right and wrong. Children do not learn how to keep themselves and others safe. Their understanding of good hygiene is not promoted effectively.  Children are not supported to play together or develop secure relationships with each other. Consequently, they are not developing some of the social skills they need to prepare them for school.  The childminder lacks understanding of diversity. Children have few experiences to increase their understanding of people and communities beyond their own. They are not encouraged to learn or recognise what makes them similar or unique to others.  Planning does not take into account children's stage of development. Activities and resources do not reflect their interests and children are not motivated to learn.

p.1

This provision is inadequate

Teaching is ineffective and is not matched to children's needs. Interactions with children are poor. The youngest children's communication and language skills are not promoted well enough.  The childminder is not aware that there are significant weaknesses in her practice. Monitoring of teaching and educational programmes is ineffective. There are no plans in place to help the childminder improve her quality of teaching.

 The inspector observed activities in the childminder's home.  The inspector spoke to the childminder and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector carried out a joint evaluation of an activity with the childminder.  The inspector took account of the views of parents from the childminder's review of her practice.  The inspector looked at children's records, discussed planning, and looked at a range of other documentation, including policies and procedures.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder does not identify all risks to children. For example, babies have access to small objects which pose a choking hazard. The childminder can identify the signs and symptoms that indicate a child might be at risk from harm or abuse. She understands the procedures to follow if she has a concern about a child or an adult. The childminder does not have a secure understanding of the learning and development requirements. She identifies children's starting points when they enter her care. The childminder completes assessments of children's progress and shares them with parents. However, the childminder does not use what she knows about children to provide them with activities that capture their interest or challenge them to learn more. The childminder does not have enough knowledge to identify key weaknesses in her practice. She has accessed additional training, but does not demonstrate a suitable

understanding of how good quality teaching supports children's development.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The standard of teaching is poor. Activities and resources are not planned well to take into account children's interests, abilities or preferences for learning. For example, the childminder does not provide enough support for children's interest in role play. Babies' attempts to communicate are not promoted and are often hampered by the use of comforters. Child-led play is not supported by good quality interactions. As a result, children are not well engaged or motivated to learn more. Children enjoy exploring interactive toys. They move their bodies to rhythms and imitate actions, such as clapping.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's behaviour is not managed well. The childminder does not consistently implement simple rules. This means children do not receive clear messages to help them develop a good understanding of right and wrong. They do not learn how to keep themselves and others safe. For example, children frequently climb up onto toys and low window sills from which they can fall. Toys are left discarded on the floor, which children often trip over. Children play alongside each other. However, they do not learn to take turns with toys and are not encouraged to play together and develop good friendships. This means they do not develop some of the social skills they need for school. Good hygiene routines are not always effectively implemented. For example, wipes that have been used to clean hands and noses are not disposed of appropriately. Children regularly spend time outdoors and play in the fresh air. They learn to independently put on their

shoes and coats. They enjoy a suitable range of healthy meals and drinks.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children are not making enough progress from their starting points and this does not prepare them well for future learning in school. They are not sufficiently supported to develop good language skills. They are given few opportunities to learn about the diverse community they live in, or the wider world. Children do not have enough experiences to help them understand about similarities and difference. They develop some early literacy and mathematical skills.
