The inspector held discussions with the childminder, including to evaluate an activity together. n The inspector spoke with children at appropriate times during the inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding arrangements are not effective. The childminder does not have a good understanding of the need to inform Ofsted of changes to those living on the premises. The childminder does not obtain written permission from parents to administer medication. She does not keep a record of medicine administered. That said, she has a suitable knowledge of the signs of abuse and neglect, and knows where to refer any concerns she may have about a child's welfare. The childminder does not reflect on her practice effectively to make improvements that support children's ongoing care and learning. She does not have a programme of professional development that is sufficiently focused on improving her knowledge, skills and practice. The childminder encourages parents to share information about their child's learning at home.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder does not provide children with stimulating and engaging activities. Toys and resources are extremely limited. The childminder does not plan activities to engage and motivate children. Babies do not have opportunities to explore and investigate sensory resources. Children who try to engage in play are frequently disturbed by the childminder who interrupts or stops their play to respond to the behaviour or frequent demands of others. The childminder does not build on young babies' skills as her attention is drawn to managing conflict. Consequently, this results in poor teaching as children are not provided with good-quality learning experiences. Furthermore, children's early listening and concentration skills are not supported well as a result of the loud background noise from a mobile telephone used by another child to watch programmes.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The childminder does not ensure that children are kept safe at all times. For example, she does not understand the importance of ensuring children are not left unattended in highchairs or alone at sleep times with bottles of milk. The childminder does not ensure that outdoor activities are planned and taken on a daily basis. Behaviour strategies are not effective. The behaviour of some children has an adverse impact on younger children's care and learning, and there are frequent times when they receive less attention and support. This results in children who frequently cry. For example, babies cannot have a cuddle when they demonstrate they want one. This does not support their emotional well-being.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children are not learning the skills and attitudes needed for future learning. They do not learn to share and take turns. They do not learn to engage in activities for long periods. Children are not provided with enough opportunities to make good progress.
