p.1

This provision is inadequate

 The childminder does not have up-to-date safeguarding knowledge to ensure she has a secure understanding of recent changes to legislation designed to protect children from harm. This compromises children’s welfare.  The childminder has not established a programme of professional development to ensure she knows how to embed changes into her safeguarding practice to help protect children's welfare.  The childminder misses opportunities to teach children about the consequences of their behaviour to help deepen their understanding about the impact of their actions.  Self-evaluation is weak. The childminder does not ensure that she meets all the statutory requirements. She has not identified weaknesses in her safeguarding practice which put children's welfare at risk.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children make good progress and develop the skills needed for their future learning. The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn and teaching is strong. She supports children's communication skills well, such as modelling sentences for children while reading to them to help develop their vocabulary and speech.  The childminder monitors children's progress well, such as through regular observation, and uses this information to successfully plan suitably challenging activities.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector looked at a range of documentation, including children's records and the childminder's policies and procedures.  The inspector viewed the parts of the premises used for childminding and talked to children at appropriate times.  The inspector observed the interactions between the childminder and the children and the activities they engaged in.  The inspector held discussions with the childminder about children's learning and about how she reflects on the quality of her service.  The inspector considered the views of others, including the written views of parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder has gaps in her safeguarding knowledge and is not aware of current changes to legislation, such as 'Prevent' duty guidance and how this has an impact on her practice when protecting children's welfare. This puts children at significant risk. However, she knows how to recognise and report any signs that indicate a child may be at risk of abuse or neglect. The childminder supervises children well to keep them safe. For example, to ensure they do not go into the garden unsupervised. The childminder does not reflect on her practice effectively. She fails to meet all of the welfare requirements and does not recognise weaknesses to ensure she can take action to improve practice. She does not ensure her knowledge is kept up to date with changes in early years practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder teaches children well. She supports and extends older children's thinking skills effectively, for example, while encouraging them to answer questions during activities and inviting them to share their ideas. Children enjoy creative experiences, such as making cards for their friends, exploring different media and using different tools to make marks. Children learn to use resources with good control and successfully think of their own ideas. The childminder establishes effective partnerships with parents and other professionals to provide a consistent approach in supporting children's care and learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management mean the childminder does not assure children's welfare. The childminder does not help children to understand the impact of their actions to help them learn how their actions affect themselves and others. However, the childminder forms warm relationships with children and supports their emotional needs effectively. Children are happy and confident They eat nutritious food and learn how to be healthy. They benefit from being physically active, for example, while using apparatus in the local park.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points and develop skills that support their next stage of learning. Children communicate clearly and listen well. They learn to use writing tools with good control and develop their hand muscles well. They develop good social skills, such as interacting with others confidently. Children learn to handle books carefully, talk about the pictures to tell the story and develop good early reading skills in preparation for school.
