p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. The childminder has not effectively assessed the risks in her setting to ensure children are protected from harm. This has a significant impact on their welfare. For example, the childminder has not secured her outdoor premises, so children are able to leave unattended and unauthorised persons can gain access. In addition, some equipment is unsuitable for use due to rust, and children can access drawers where sharp knives are stored and a low-level fridge containing alcohol. The childminder does not keep daily records of children's hours of attendance and has not notified Ofsted about significant changes to her premises or people working with her. However, the childminder understands her role in reporting child protection concerns and can identify signs and symptoms of child abuse. The childminder does not reflect on her own practice or identify areas to improve her

knowledge and skills. This has a significant impact on the quality of her teaching and ability to raise outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder does not monitor children's achievements regularly from the start. She does not collect sufficient information to accurately identify children's developmental needs and plan for their progress. During play, the childminder does not recognise where children need the most support or provide activities that match their individual abilities. Additionally, the childminder often misses opportunities to extend learning. For example, as children bake buns, their questions to the childminder relating to quantities are not acknowledged. Children's mathematical skills are not supported. Although the childminder has positive relationships with parents, she does not encourage them to contribute to their children's learning. She gathers information about children's likes and dislikes at the start through an 'All about me' booklet. However, the childminder does not involve them in starting point assessments or update them on their children's progress or

learning goals during their time with her.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The childminder compromises children's safety and well-being due to the weaknesses in her leadership and management. However, she is welcoming to children and their families, and uses consistent strategies to support children's good behaviour. Children begin to understand boundaries and are reminded to share and take turns from the start. Children settle quickly and explore the wide range of resources on offer to them. Children are emotionally secure. However, due to the weaknesses in teaching, children are not motivated to learn and often become distracted or disruptive in their play.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children often move away from planned activities and flit between resources they are interested in. Although this shows they are confident to explore and make choices in their environment, they are often unmotivated to learn during play. Children's learning is often interrupted and their emerging needs and interests are not supported. For example, as children begin to draw lines and shapes in flour, the childminder asks them to continue mixing cake ingredients and their concentration quickly deteriorates. Children do not develop their mark making and other key skills they require for their eventual move to school. Children demonstrate physical skills as they ride bicycles and climb apparatus in the garden.
