p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder lacks secure knowledge of some of the child protection procedures she must follow. She has not informed the local child protection agency of an allegation that has been made against her. Also, the childminder has not taken sufficient steps to keep her knowledge updated about some wider aspects of safeguarding issues, such as the 'Prevent' duty guidance. Despite the childminder being familiar with her own complaints procedure, she has not followed this effectively to record all complaints. She is unable to demonstrate how she has investigated matters and any improvements she has made in relation to concerns or allegations raised by parents. That said, the childminder does recognise the possible signs that a child may at risk of harm. She knows that she must report any concerns about a child's safety and welfare. The childminder has increased resources to help develop children's imaginative

skills. However, she has not focused enough on her own professional development and training to addresses weakness in her practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder gives children time to explore by themselves and knows when to purposefully interact to extend their learning further. For example, she provides more programmable toys for children to press buttons and name the letters of their name to support their interests and literacy skills. The childminder models thinking well. She encourages the children to work out how many pieces of food they are willing to share with their friends. This helps to develop their mathematical skills and deepen their friendships and social skills. The childminder tracks children's progress closely. She quickly narrows any identified gaps in their learning so that they make good progress. The childminder uses a wide range of methods to exchange information with parents. She shares ideas with parents to help them to support their children's continued learning at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management has the potential to compromise children's safety and well-being. That said, the childminder is attentive to children's individual needs. Children demonstrate that they feel safe in her care. Their behaviour is good. Children enjoy completing simple tasks themselves and show great pride when they achieve, such as helping to tidy away the toys. The childminder takes children to local community play sessions to help develop children's social skills with children of a similar age. Children demonstrate some good physical skills. They move around the home with confidence and manage stairs independently.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the necessary skills for their future learning and for their eventual move on to school. Children make good progress from their starting points. They are active learners, curious and motivated in their play. Children build on their reading interests well and learn to handle and explore books with confidence.
