The provision is inadequate

n The childminder does not have a secure understanding of the 'Prevent' duty and, therefore, is not fully aware of the signs that may suggest children and their families are potentially at risk from extreme views and ideas. Records required for the safe management of the provision are not all easily accessible and available for inspection. n The childminder does not provide the appropriate support for her assistant. She does not evaluate her practice to focus on ways to improve practice and outcomes for children. Her assistant is left in sole charge of children without having completed a relevant first-aid qualification. This compromises children's welfare and safety. n The childminder fails to assess children's progress effectively or provide activities that meet children's individual learning needs. Children do not make adequate progress from their starting points. Parents are not actively involved in their children's ongoing

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this had on children's learning. n The inspector held a number of discussions with the childminder. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons working with children and living in the household. n The inspector spoke with the children during the inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The childminder does not have a secure knowledge of the requirements of the early years foundation stage. She has not thought carefully about her own practice, or that of her assistant, and where she might need to make improvements. As a result, there are breaches of legal requirements. Required records relating to all children's attendance and aspects of the childminder's training could not be found on the day of inspection. On occasions, the childminder leaves her assistant in sole charge of children. Her assistant is not trained in paediatric first aid. Consequently, children's welfare cannot be assured. Children's learning and development are not effectively promoted. Arrangements for safeguarding are ineffective. The childminder does 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. These weaknesses significantly compromise

children's safety and well-being. The childminder has an adequate knowledge of the procedures to follow in the event of a child protection concern.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Weaknesses in teaching and assessment have a significant negative impact on children's learning and development. The childminder does not fully understand how to assess children's progress to precisely identify their stage of development or gaps in their learning. Although she carries out some observations of children as they play, she is not sufficiently aware of the expected levels of development for their ages. She does not consider what each child needs to achieve and planned activities do not meet children's learning needs. For example, during activities, the childminder focuses on trying to teach very young children letters, colours and shapes, rather than supporting them in their listening, attention and language skills. Consequently, these children do not make good enough progress. The childminder does not maintain meaningful partnerships with parents. Children's learning in the setting and information gathered from parents

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

regarding children's learning at home is not discussed. Subsequently, this prevents parents from becoming actively involved in their children's ongoing learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's welfare is not adequately protected. The childminder does not consistently encourage children's progress. Activities do not take account of children's ages or capabilities. Children who are less confident are not consistently supported well to develop their personal and social skills. Nonetheless, children generally behave well. They are mostly happy and form appropriate attachments with the childminder. The childminder has flexible settling-in procedures, which she agrees with parents. This appropriately supports children's transition from home to her care. The childminder provides children with healthy snacks, and offers drinks regularly to support their physical health.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not make the progress they are capable of because teaching does not focus on their individual needs and next steps for learning. Children are not supported well enough in their communication and language skills. They do not learn to persist well when completing tasks as the childminder distracts them as she moves them on to other activities too quickly. Children show some curiosity and eagerness to explore their environment. They develop their physical skills, for example, as they use mark-making equipment, and learn to feed themselves at mealtimes. Children do not gain the skills they need to prepare them well for school and for their future learning.
