p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. The childminder does not ensure that she has records of each child's personal details, including information about their emergency contacts, who has parental responsibility and their health and care needs. This has significant implications for children's safety and well-being. The childminder does not recognise the importance of keeping an accurate record of the children's attendance. She does not consistently record the times that children are in her care. The childminder has not developed effective methods to evaluate the quality of her practice. Although she has made some improvements since the last inspection, she has not recognised where there are breaches in requirements. The childminder has a sound understanding of child protection issues and knows the procedures that she must follow to report any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder has not done enough to

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

develop her knowledge and understanding of how to assess children's learning and plan effectively for their future progress, or of how to deliver good-quality teaching.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder has failed to assess children's starting points and she does not understand how to monitor children's progress. She speaks to parents about their young children's routines, but she does not involve parents in assessing what children know and can do when they first start. Neither does she support parents to guide their children's learning at home. The childminder has failed to complete the required progress check for children aged between two and three years. Parents are not given a written summary of their children's progress. The childminder is nurturing and kind. She does help children appropriately with some aspects of their learning. For example, she models words to support the younger children's developing language skills as they play. However, the lack of clear assessment and planning for future learning means that children are not challenged sufficiently to make good or better progress from their

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's safety and well-being are compromised due to the childminder's failure to maintain the appropriate records. The childminder provides a welcoming environment and children are confident to choose what they would like to play with. The childminder acts as a positive role model and supports children to manage their behaviour appropriately. She supervises children well, to keep them safe. The childminder provides healthy snacks and children demonstrate a sense of emotional security as they cuddle her for comfort. However, children do not make the progress they are capable of in developing their personal and social skills because the childminder does not plan effectively or teach them well enough. The childminder does, however, provide opportunities for children to explore their community and socialise with people from backgrounds different to their own.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Due to the weaknesses in monitoring and assessment, it is not possible to measure the progress that children make. The childminder lacks understanding of what children need to learn next and children are not challenged enough to make good progress. Children do not gain the skills that they need for the next stage of their learning, or to be ready for school when the time comes.
