This provision is inadequate

 The childminder does not use risk assessment effectively to identify and remove potential hazards so that all areas of the premises are safe for children to use. She has not checked that the glass in the playroom doors is safe. This compromises children's safety.  The childminder does not support children who are learning English as an additional language to reach a good standard in speaking English so they are ready for starting school.  Children do not make adequate progress in their development. The quality of teaching practice is poor. The childminder does not ensure that every child's learning and care are tailored to meet their individual needs. She does not engage children in purposeful play to build on what they know and can do to provide good challenge.  The childminder does not accurately assess all areas of children's development and share these with parents. This prevents her from identifying and reducing any gaps in

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. There are breaches of the statutory requirements. The childminder does not risk assess her premises effectively to identify and reduce any potential hazards to keep children safe. Teaching practice is poor. Although the childminder observes children's play and identifies their individual achievements, she does not regularly check and evaluate children's learning with parents to identify and act on any gaps in children's development. The childminder has some understanding of child protection procedures. For example, since registration, she has completed additional training relating to the 'Prevent' duty guidance, which has developed her understanding further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder does not engage children in planned purposeful play. For example, children often play repetitively with the same resources and lack sufficient challenge in their learning and development. Although the childminder teaches children in their home languages, she fails to provide sufficient opportunities for them to reach a good level of English. Furthermore, she does not tailor children's learning to meet their individual needs. These weaknesses in teaching prevent children from making good progress in their development. Despite this, children enjoy listening to music, taking part in action rhymes and playing musical instruments. The childminder supports children's understanding of the world. For example, children run through fallen leaves, watch trains on outings, and help to plant and water sunflowers and tomatoes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's health and safety are not given high priority, which places them at risk. The childminder does not ensure that all areas of the premises are safe. She has not checked that the large doors in one of the playrooms are fitted with protected glass, particularly following an extensive crack to one section of the doors which is partially covered with safety film. Overall, the childminder is a positive role model to children. She forms secure emotional attachments with children, who are happy, settled and well behaved. The childminder supports children to form friendships and develop their social skills, for instance, during outings to toddler groups. The childminder provides children with nutritious food and regular opportunities to play outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children are generally motivated to play independently. They concentrate well while using resources that interest them, for instance, while making marks on a chalkboard. However, children are not well prepared for school or their next stage of learning. Children who are learning English as an additional language are not working within the range of language development that is typical for their age, given their starting points. They do not develop good communication skills in English.
