n There are significant weaknesses in the childminder's knowledge, understanding and ability to meet the early years foundation stage requirements. She fails to meet children's learning needs and compromises children's well-being. n The childminder does not review her practice and has not addressed all the actions and recommendations raised at the last inspection adequately. She does not consistently seek professional development opportunities to improve her knowledge and skills, which hinders the quality of teaching practices. n Children's health is compromised at times. The childminder does not follow good hygiene procedures consistently to prevent cross-infection. n Observation, assessment and planning for children's continued learning and progress are weak. The childminder does not complete the required progress check for children aged between two and three years. Children do not make adequate progress when

Inspection activities n The inspector looked at the areas of the premises used for childminding and sampled relevant documentation, including children's records. n The inspector observed children engaged in activities, including their interactions with the childminder, and assessed the impact on their learning. n The inspector held discussions with the childminder and spoke with children at appropriate times during the inspection. n The inspector and the childminder jointly observed children and evaluated an activity together. n The inspector reviewed parents' feedback by sampling written documents.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The childminder does not evaluate her provision effectively to identify all areas for improvement. She has not addressed most of the weaknesses raised at her last inspection. The childminder's planning is weak and she does not monitor and review children's progress. She does not provide challenging activities to motivate children to learn. The childminder is unaware of her responsibility to complete an assessment of children's progress between the ages of two and three years. She does not review their progress promptly and identify any gaps in their learning and development. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a suitable awareness of the signs and symptoms that may raise concerns about children's welfare and she understands the procedures for reporting such concerns. She provides adequate support to her assistant, in those areas where her own knowledge is sufficient, such as keeping up to date with paediatric first-

aid and safeguarding training. However, even though safeguarding is effective, the childminder demonstrates a poor capacity to improve as she continues to breach requirements of registration.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The quality of teaching remains weak. The childminder observes children during their play. However, she does not use the information she gathers effectively to offer children sufficient challenges and plan effectively for their next steps in learning. She lacks understanding of the different ways that children learn. For example, she does not provide children with sufficient resources to explore and investigate and, at times, children wander aimlessly and become bored. This means that children do not benefit from rich learning experiences that help them make good progress. Children listen to stories the childminder reads to them and she provides some support for their communication and language skills, such as asking the children to repeat words and numbers. However, activities and play experiences on the whole lack challenge and are not consistently based on what children need to learn next. The childminder works with

parents and gathers useful information about children's welfare but not their learning. This means that activities are not based on a clear assessment of children's individual learning needs, which hinders their progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses identified in leadership and management compromise children's well being, learning and development. The childminder fails to support children's good hygiene practices adequately. For example, children sat to eat their snack without washing their hands after playing. She does not encourage children to wash their hands after nappy changes to help children understand good hygiene practices. However, the childminder does meet some of children's basic care needs sufficiently. For example, she provides children with healthy meals and water is available at all times. Children have some opportunities to develop their physical skills. They visit local places of interest, go for walks in the local community and attend playgroups. The childminder promotes positive behaviour and praises children's effort to help boost their confidence. However, children's lack of engagement and challenge in activities hinders their learning and emotional well-

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not make the progress they are capable of when with the childminder. They are not adequately prepared for school or for their next steps in learning. The childminder's poor understanding of the learning and development requirements means that children's individual learning needs are not met. Activities provided do not offer challenge or motivate all children to further develop their skills and make adequate progress.
