p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder has a weak understanding of current child protection issues. He does not know the procedures to follow if he has concerns about an adult or a child. The childminder does not provide parents with information about how to contact Ofsted. The childminder has a poor understanding of the learning and development requirements. He does not demonstrate a suitable understanding of how good quality teaching supports children's development. The childminder does not find out about children's skills and abilities when they enter the setting. He has a poor understanding of the required progress check for children aged between two and three years, what this should include and who it should be shared with. The childminder does make use of professional development opportunities to improve his skills and knowledge.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder's insufficient knowledge of the learning and development requirements means that children do not benefit from activities that help them to develop the skills they need to learn effectively. He does not share information about the assessment of children's progress with parents. The childminder does not provide parents with sufficient information about how the early years foundation stage is delivered in his setting or how they can support their children's learning at home. The childminder does not take into account children's interests, abilities or preferences for learning. As a result, activities lack challenge and do not interest or motivate children. Children do not enjoy a good balance of child-initiated play and adult-led learning. Interactions with children are poor and the childminder does not offer enough support for play. They do not have enough opportunities to explore, experiment, be creative or share their ideas. Children practise

early writing skills using paper and pencils. They begin to solve problems while using simple jigsaw puzzles.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's welfare is not assured because of significant weaknesses in leadership and management. The childminder does not provide a stimulating environment and children are not motivated to learn. Resources are not easily accessible to children, which means they can make few choices about their play. The childminder does not effectively promote children's understanding of why a healthy diet is important. He does not provide a good range of healthy meals, snacks and drinks. The childminder helps children to understand simple rules. During play with other children, he explains why sharing and taking turns is important.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children are not making enough progress from their starting points. Their welfare and learning is not supported adequately as there are significant weaknesses in the childminder's knowledge and practice. Activities provided are not sufficiently helping children to develop further skills. Consequently, children are not prepared well enough for school.
