p.1

The provision is inadequate

n The childminder and her assistant do not have a secure understanding of the 'Prevent' duty and, therefore, they are not fully aware of the signs that may suggest children and their families are potentially at risk from extreme views and ideas. n The childminder does not provide the appropriate support for her assistant. She does not evaluate their practice to focus on ways to improve outcomes for children. n Children's safety is compromised. The childminder leaves children for short periods of time with a registered assistant without obtaining parents' prior consent. n The childminder does not record the times children arrive and leave her care. This prevents her from fully ensuring children's safety. n The childminder's does not have her records and information easily accessible. n Teaching is weak and the outcomes for children are poor. The childminder does not provide appropriate activities and interaction to help the children make progress.

p.1

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder and her assistant do not have a secure knowledge and understanding of the signs that may indicate a child and their family are at risk of being exposed to extreme views and ideas. The childminder does not act swiftly to promote children's safety. For example, when children are being transported in her car and being left with her assistant without parental permission. The childminder does not maintain an accurate daily record of the hours of attendance of children looked after on the premises. These are breaches of legal requirements. Although previously raised as an action, the childminder still does not have all required documents available at inspection. The childminder does not provide appropriate support for her assistant and does not evaluate their practice to see where improvements can be made. The childminder and her assistant know how to recognise when a child may be at risk of

harm and the procedures to follow for child protection should they have any concerns.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder has a poor understanding of the learning needs of young children. She does not provide stimulating resources for younger children or recognise opportunities to extend their learning. For example, she offers children a basket with natural resources in, but does not engage with them to develop their interest or promote their imaginative play. The childminder has not considered how to organise her provision effectively to promote children's independence and motivate them to choose and enjoy their play and learning. The range of resources and activities available is extremely limited. The childminder makes observations of children's learning in her home and at the local groups they attend. However, she does not use the information she collects from these observations to plan suitably challenging activities and experiences for all children. The childminder and her assistant prepare an activity where children have to find the

dinosaurs and compare them with the picture in a book. However, children are also having their snack and very quickly lose interest in the activity as they continue to eat their crisps.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership and management has a significant impact on children's safety and welfare. Despite this, children's behaviour is suitable. Children are encouraged to follow handwashing routines and use disposable towels. The childminder and her assistant regularly take children to parks and the children's centre to socialise with other children.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children make insufficient progress in their learning and development. This is because the childminder does not provide them with the opportunities that help them learn the skills they need to prepare them for the next stage in their learning. Children approach the childminder for lots of cuddles and reassurance.
