Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector spoke with the childminder and children at appropriate times during the inspection and carried out a joint evaluation of the teaching and learning with the childminder. n The inspector had a tour of the areas of the childminder's home used by children. n The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as policies and children's records. n The inspector took account of parents' views. n Had the childminder not resigned her registration soon after the inspection, Ofsted would have taken enforcement action.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The childminder has not taken effective action to address the weaknesses raised at previous inspections to improve the quality of children's learning and development. The quality of the provision has declined even further, demonstrating a poor capacity to improve. Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder does not have a sufficient regard for the safety and well-being of children. She fails to complete effective risk assessments and identify hazards that put children at significant risk of harm and injury. She leaves household chemicals and personal effects in sight and easy reach of children. This includes, cleaning products, correction fluid, liquid air freshener, earrings and rings. In addition, trailing electrical wires, stacks of ceramic tiles and ladders pose further risk of significant injury to children. Their safety is severely compromised. The childminder does not hold all necessary information relating to children's parents. She has a suitable

knowledge of child protection procedures to act should she have any concerns. The childminder is not effective in identifying weak areas of her own practice. Although she completes training, this does not impact positively on the quality of her teaching. This means that children do not make the progress of which they are capable and they fail to thrive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The quality of teaching and learning is weak. The childminder does very little to plan for children's learning needs. The childminder has a very poor understanding of the different ways young children learn and how to plan appropriate levels of challenge to enhance their play and engage them fully. For example, children become frustrated as they try to cut paper with scissors but cannot achieve success due to poor quality tools. Furthermore, the childminder does not provide any alternative activities for them. She fails to provide a sufficient range of interesting activities and resources to motivate them to play and explore. The childminder stores children's toys in a pile behind the sofa which are inaccessible to children. The environment is not conducive to children's learning and development. This has a significantly negative impact on their play experiences and limits their engagement in learning. The childminder has a poor

understanding of the progress children are making. Although she completes a progress check for children aged between two and three years, her assessment information is insufficient and inaccurate. This means that any gaps in children's learning and development cannot be addressed swiftly and compromises their learning and development. This significantly hinders the progress they make.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership and management significantly compromise children's safety and well-being. The childminder is not vigilant to ensure their safety. All children are exposed to significant risks and cannot play and explore safely. The childminder fails to support children's emotional security. When children struggle to manage their feelings and behaviour she makes negative comments about this to them. This means that children do not receive positive interventions to help them to learn about what is acceptable behaviour and overcome their difficulties.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children's learning and development experience is very poor. Weaknesses in teaching and assessment and a poor knowledge of how children learn impact very negatively on the progress that they make. Children are not well prepared for the next steps in their learning. They are not safe.
