p.1

This provision is inadequate

 The childminder has not made sure she has a current paediatric first-aid certificate at all times.  The childminder's knowledge of procedures to safeguard children is not in line with current legislation and local guidelines. She does not have a deep enough understanding to be able to quickly recognise specific concerns about children's welfare and respond rapidly.  The childminder does not make the most of what she knows about individual children's interests and preferences to plan highly challenging and motivating activities.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children form secure attachments to the childminder and they are happy and confident in her care. They are encouraged to become independent and they are learning to respond to simple boundaries and are supported to share with others.  Children enjoy learning through play. The childminder interacts sensitively with children as they explore interesting resources. She shows them how to use tools and gives them time to follow their own ideas.  Children make good progress in their learning. The childminder makes regular assessments of what they can do to find out what they need to learn next.  The childminder works in partnership with parents. She shares information about what children have been doing so parents can continue their learning at home.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector looked at documentation, including evidence of qualifications and children's records. She also discussed the childminder's safeguarding policy.  The inspector spoke to the childminder and children throughout the inspection. She discussed the childminder's plans for improvement and took account of the views of parents spoken to on the day.  The inspector viewed the areas of the home used for childminding and checked evidence of the suitability of the childminder and those living in the house.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder has not kept up to date with changes to legislation and local procedures. She has completed some training but is not familiar with the specific risks of radicalisation and her responsibilities covered by the Prevent Duty to keep children safe. The childminder does not have a current paediatric first-aid certificate. Nevertheless, professional development helps the childminder continually review and improve her resources and she has identified training to help improve her teaching. Links with the local school and teachers have helped the childminder support children to become ready for school. The childminder builds good partnerships with parents to help them work together to manage children's behaviour.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses interesting resources that capture children's attention and she effectively extends their learning as they play. She introduces ideas about making marks and shapes using a variety of tools and different materials. The childminder responds to children as they investigate and she gives them time to follow their own ideas. She talks to them about what they are doing and asks them questions that make them think. The childminder makes regular assessments of children's development to identify what they need to learn and shares this with parents. She observes children as they play and notices how each child learns differently. However, she does not make the most of this detailed knowledge when planning specific learning experiences for individual children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management compromise children's welfare and safety. However, the childminder has refreshed her knowledge of first aid and has a suitable understanding of how to deal with accidents and injuries in the event of an emergency. The childminder builds secure relationships with children that promote their confidence and self-esteem. Children are encouraged to develop good eating habits and enjoy fresh air and exercise during trips in the local area. They learn about different cultures and get involved in community events in the surrounding area.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning from their individual starting points. Toddlers develop good language skills and become confident at making their own choices in their play. The childminder supports older children to become independent and start to recognise some letters ready for school. Children's good behaviour shows they feel safe. All children learn to think about others, take turns and respond to simple boundaries.
