The provision is inadequate

n The childminder does not have a secure understanding of how to recognise all possible signs of abuse that a child may be at risk of harm and how to address allegations. n The childminder has not established effective partnership working with parents and other professionals involved in children's care. n The childminder lacks awareness of supporting children who may have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This means she is poorly prepared to gather relevant information from parents when they start and support the children to settle and make progress taking into consideration their individual needs. n The childminder does not assess children's progress, or plan suitable activities and experiences to support children's development adequately. Required assessments are not undertaken. This means that any gaps in their development are not identified or addressed promptly. n Risk assessment is not robust to identify potential risks to children. Poor organisation of

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed practice and interaction between childminder and children during play and care routines. She discussed planning, teaching, learning and assessments with the childminder. n The inspector spoke to the childminder and children when appropriate. n The inspector looked at a range of documentation, including children's records, childminder's training, feedback from the local authority and policies and procedures shared with parents. n The inspector accompanied the childminder and children on a visit to the park. n The inspector took into account parental feedback at inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. Although the childminder has completed recent training for safeguarding her knowledge is not sound to take prompt and required action to safeguard children. This includes children who may be at risk of harm from extreme behaviours and views. The childminder demonstrates a poor commitment to meeting legal requirements. She has not done enough to focus her professional development in raising quality of her teaching and partnerships. Her lack of awareness of children with SEND means such children's placements are terminated without exploring how best to settle and support them. Although some observations are undertaken they are not meaningful to inform the childminder to assess children's ongoing progress in all areas of their development. Therefore, children have poor learning opportunities and resources that do not support their actual development. Parental feedback at inspection is positive,

comments include the provision as a welcoming and family environment.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Poor organisation of resources means children have limited opportunities to make choices of their own. The childminder makes selections for the children, often this is ad- hoc with no reflection to what is suitable for the child's current development. For example, older children are given toys appropriate for younger infants. Children make do with what is given to them by the childminder and appear to be used to this. Play and learning is not purposeful. The quality of teaching is weak with children left to play on their own in the main. The setting is not arranged to engage children into play when they arrive.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Poor organisation of how the premises are used means young children are put to sleep immediately next to children playing on the floor. This means children who are playing are told to whisper and not make too much noise with the toys, therefore children have become used to this as part of the routine whilst other children sleep. Children are supported to learn about personal safety, such as road safety. However, potential risks in the home are not identified, such as the storage of adult exercise equipment. Children are familiar of the childminder and her family. The children behave well, they receive praise from the childminder and they are encouraged to develop good manners. The childminder is caring and attentive of children's basic needs.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children are not supported to gain skills they need to prepare them for the next stage of their learning and school. This is because there is a lack of purposeful activities planned and provided, in reflection to children's actual individual development.
