What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector had a tour of the areas of the home used for childminding purposes. n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities and assessed the impact on children's learning. n The inspector looked at evidence of the suitability of adults working and living on the premises, a sample of policies and other relevant documentation. n The inspector completed a joint observation with the childminder. n The inspector spoke with the childminder and children during the inspection. She looked at written feedback from parents and took account of their views. Inspector Susie Prince

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder has not provided Ofsted with information needed to check the suitability of people temporarily living on the premises. She also has an insufficient knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures and wider safeguarding issues. For example, the childminder does not know how to identify children who may be at risk of exposure to extremist views or what to do if an allegation is made against adults in her setting. The childminder has a weak understanding of statutory requirements and has failed to identify significant weaknesses in practice. Although she completes essential training, such as first aid, she does not make the most of opportunities to engage in professional development activities.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder's assessments are not accurate. She has a weak understanding of individual children's learning needs. This means that some activities are not planned or challenging enough or adequately focused on the areas where children most need support. The childminder does not review children's progress between the age of two and three years or provide parents with a written summary. Furthermore, she does not share important information about children's achievements with other settings they attend, to promote continuity in their learning. Despite this, the childminder interacts positively with children. For instance, she helps them to play imaginatively as they pretend to prepare food.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The childminder does not supervise her assistant effectively. For example, she has not trained him to understand her safeguarding policy and procedures. In addition, she sometimes leaves him in sole charge of children and has not ensured that he holds a valid paediatric first-aid qualification. This compromises children's safety. Nevertheless, the childminder's home is effectively risk assessed, safe and hygienic. Children confidently explore their surroundings. Parents say that they appreciate the daily verbal feedback provided and enjoy looking at photographs.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Weaknesses in the way that the childminder assesses children's progress mean they do not make the progress they should in their learning. However, children develop some of the important skills they need in readiness for school. For instance, children engage in turn-taking games. They play harmoniously together and their behaviour is good.
