p.1

This provision is inadequate

 The childminder has not provided Ofsted with information about all persons caring for children to enable them to carry out suitability checks.  Recruitment procedures are not robust to ensure that new assistants are suitable in their role. This compromises children's safety and welfare.  The quality of teaching is variable. The childminder does not support assistants enough to ensure that children are fully challenged in their learning.  The childminder and her assistants do not share enough information about children's learning with other early years settings that children attend.  The childminder does not gather enough information from parents about children's prior learning when they first start.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children are happy and have a positive relationship with the childminder and her assistants, demonstrating they are emotionally secure.  The childminder observes children as they play and identifies what they need to learn next. She shares their assessments and development with parents to help them know their child's levels of learning.  Children learn about their local community and visit places of interest.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector completed a joint evaluation of an activity with the childminder.  The inspector held discussions with the childminder and her assistants. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons living in the household.  The inspector spoke to children.  The inspector took account of the views of parents through reading the written feedback provided.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder has not provided Ofsted with information about assistants working with her. Therefore, they have not been able to complete the necessary suitability checks. Furthermore, the recruitment process is not robust to ensure that these persons are suitable in their role. This compromises children's safety and welfare. However, the childminder is aware of the signs of abuse and where to report concerns. The childminder has procedures in place to ensure that children leave her premises with a suitable adult. Self-evaluation is not effective because it does not identify that some legal requirements are not being met.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder works alongside her assistants. However, she does not provide them with enough support to provide consistently good levels of teaching. This means that children are not always challenged in their learning. That said, children do enjoy learning to link letters of the alphabet with the sounds they represent. The childminder and her assistants help children to know that information comes from different media. For example, they show children images of letters on an electronic device. The childminder encourages children to develop their physical skills. She asks them to stand up and move their bodies to music. Children enjoy stamping their feet and stretching their arms. The childminder speaks to parents daily when they collect their children. She helps them to continue to support their child's learning at home, such as encouraging their listening skills. However, the childminder does not find out information from parents about their child's prior

achievements when they first start. She does not share enough information with other early years settings that children attend to support consistency in their learning and development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

People responsible for children's learning and safety have not had their suitability verified with Ofsted or the childminder. This means that children's welfare is not promoted. However, children behave well. They develop positive social skills and learn to share and take turns. The childminder and her assistant praise children for their achievements, helping to raise their self-esteem. They talk to children about the rules and boundaries in the home, to help children to know what is expected of them. Children follow their interests and access resources independently. The childminder provides children with a range of healthy snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

The quality of teaching is variable, therefore, children do not make consistently good progress. However, children are learning some skills in readiness for their eventual move on to school. Children are keen to explore and investigate outside. They pour water and use containers to develop their understanding of measure. Children confidently say when a container is full or half full of sand.
