This provision is inadequate

 Children's safety and welfare are compromised. The childminder fails to meet the requirements of the Early Years Register and the Childcare Register. She does not have a secure understanding of all signs that a child's welfare may be at risk and does not know what to do if an allegation is made against her or her assistants.  The childminder fails to ensure suitability checks are undertaken for all adults in regular contact with children. She has failed to inform Ofsted about changes to adults living and working on the premises. She does not maintain a record of each child's attendance and fails to follow correct procedures to administer children's medication.  The childminder lacks sufficient competency in English to meet children's needs adequately. Her interactions with children are weak and do not support their language development sufficiently. Partnerships with providers in other settings children attend

She does not plan suitable activities to support their next steps in learning. Children make inadequate progress.  The childminder does not understand the importance of working in partnership with parents. She does not gain information about children's early achievements or understand how to respond to any complaints from parents. Self-evaluation is poor.

p.3

Inspection activities

 The inspector looked at a range of documentation including the childminder's and assistants' training information, policies and procedures she shares with parents, and children's records.  The inspector observed practice and interaction between the childminder and children during play and daily care routines. She discussed planning, teaching and learning with the childminder when observed in play activities with children.  The inspector discussed suitability checks for all adults living, working or in regular contact with children on the premises.  The inspector looked at all areas of the home and garden used for minding purposes, and the play materials and equipment on offer.  The inspector accompanied the childminder to collect children from the nursery.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder lacks awareness of all the possible signs that a child may be at risk of harm including from extreme behaviours and views. The childminder does not have a sound understanding of working with Ofsted to assess the suitability of all adults coming into contact with children and fails to maintain required records to support children's welfare effectively. She does not record children's attendance or obtain parents' written permission when they ask her to administer any medication to their child. The childminder lacks knowledge of how to address and respond to parents' complaints. She lacks capacity to evaluate her provision effectively and raise standards. This is evident as she has not improved sufficiently since the previous inspection. Assistants working with the childminder are poorly supported in their development, as the childminder's understanding is weak. Their main role is to translate information for the

childminder and assist with record keeping.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder does not plan activities to support children's learning adequately. She misses many opportunities to provide children with effective challenge and does not recognise if they are able and confident to move on to the next stage of their development. Planned activities are poorly delivered and the learning outcomes identified are not supported. The childminder observes children engaged in activities but does not assess their progress accurately, including their skills in English, or plan for what they need to learn next. She is not aware of the requirement to complete the check for children aged between two and three years, so that any gaps in their development are identified or addressed promptly. Teaching is poor. Children do not receive the support they need to extend their learning. For example, the childminder repetitively asks children to count and recognise colours, which they can do well already. The childminder's inability to speak

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

confidently in English hinders children's ability to develop their language skills. For example, she does not pronounce everyday language accurately and there are periods where she does not speak to children at all.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in the childminder's safeguarding knowledge and her practice compromise children's welfare. The childminder has used local authority guidance to take some steps to improve since her previous inspection, such as in children's safety. She has purchased a few additional play materials since the previous inspection. However, she does not use these resources to support all areas of children's learning effectively, and they do not meet children's ages and abilities. Children behave well and receive adequate adult supervision.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not have sufficient opportunities to acquire the skills they need for their future learning and for school. They play very much in isolation, making do with what the childminder selects for them. Children do not receive sufficient challenge to meet their differing learning needs. The childminder's poor understanding and use of English significantly limits children's development of their communication, language and literacy skills.
