p.1

This provision is inadequate

 Safeguarding is inadequate. The childminder does not understand her responsibility to make Ofsted aware of all people living on the premises so their suitability can be checked. This puts children at risk.  Children's welfare and safety are compromised. The childminder does not identify and eliminate risks to children. She does not ensure children are supervised at all times to keep them safe.  The childminder is unaware of the requirement to share her inspection reports with parents.  The childminder does not consistently tailor her teaching practice to effectively meet the individual needs and interests of all children in her care. This does not help them to build on what they already know. Children do not make as much progress as possible.  Self-evaluation is ineffective. The childminder fails to recognise breaches of the requirements for the Early Years Register and the Childcare Register, and the negative

impact of these on children's care and learning. She does not take appropriate action to ensure all outcomes for children are good or better.

It has the following strengths

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the childminder and children playing together.  The inspector observed all areas of the house used by minded children.  The inspector and the childminder participated in a joint observation.  The inspector reviewed a sample of documentation.  The inspection took place as the result of a risk assessment process.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder has not made Ofsted aware of an additional person living at the childminding premises to enable suitability checks to be made. The childminder fails to remove hazards which are in reach of children, such as chemicals, heavy objects and hot tea. During the inspection, the childminder left children unsupervised in this unsafe environment on more than one occasion. These weaknesses put children's safety at risk. The childminder has not shared her previous inspection report with parents, as required. However, generally she communicates well with parents, for example, sharing information about children's learning and development and who cares for them. Since her last inspection, she has implemented a system to obtain parents' permission to administer medication. She now records children's hours of attendance. The childminder implements and follows a good complaints procedure. She does not reflect

effectively on her practice to identify all weaknesses.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Since her last inspection, the childminder has more closely monitored children's learning and development to plan activities for them. However, she does not consistently adapt activities to engage all children and does not consistently build on what they know. This also has a negative impact on those children who are learning English as an additional language. The childminder gives children choices and listens to their views. She reads stories to them to help them to develop their literacy skills. The childminder completes some online research to help her to learn more about child development. For example, she recently learnt that singing supports learning, and is trying to use more singing in her daily practice.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses identified in safeguarding children mean that their safety and well-being cannot be assured. The childminder supports children to follow healthy lifestyles. She provides a healthy and varied menu, and she encourages children to eat their food. Water is available to children throughout the session. She encourages children to be active, which supports their physical well-being. They also have good sleep routines. Children develop a secure relationship with the childminder and play happily in her care. The childminder effectively helps children to behave well. For example, she reminds them to share with each other.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children make adequate progress from their starting points, although sometimes they are not sufficiently included and engaged in activities and become bored. They develop confidence and interact well with others. They enjoy reading and use some mathematical language during play, such as when they count. Overall, children gain the basic skills they need to prepare them for their future move to school.
