p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The childminder has failed to provide Ofsted with all of the information required to check the suitability of everyone in the household aged 16 years and over. n The childminder does not make sure that she updates her knowledge and understanding of safeguarding matters. n The childminder's records of children do not promote their welfare. For instance, she does not keep a record of the name and address of every child on roll. n The childminder does not make sure that information about children and parents is stored safely. This means that their privacy is not rigorously protected. n The childminder does not use assessments of children's prior learning effectively enough to promote their good progress. She does not share information about children's learning with everyone involved in their education. n The childminder does not use self-evaluation effectively to recognise and rectify weaknesses.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n We carried out this inspection as a result of a risk assessment, following information received about this childminder. n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities. She assessed the impact that interactions and activities have on children's learning. n The inspector made a tour of the provision. She looked at relevant documentation, such as evidence of the childminder's suitability to work with children. n The inspector took account of the views of parents and carers.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The childminder does not use self-evaluation well enough to recognise and rectify weaknesses. Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder demonstrates some knowledge of changes that must be notified to Ofsted. However, she has not provided Ofsted with the information required to complete suitability checks for every member of her household aged 16 years and over. Although the childminder demonstrates basic knowledge of local child protection procedures, she has not kept her knowledge of broader safeguarding matters up to date. For example, the childminder's knowledge of the 'Prevent' duty is weak. This does not help her to protect children from the influence of extreme views. There are significant gaps in the information that the childminder keeps about children. For example, she does not record the name and address of every child on roll and details of everyone who has parental responsibility for them. The

information that she does write down is not stored safely. This is demonstrated when the childminder cannot find confidential records that she has completed.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder provides toys and activities for children. For example, children thread tubes onto strings and this helps to promote their physical development. Children demonstrate their imagination when they tell the childminder that they are making a rocket. The childminder gathers information from parents when children first attend her provision. She makes observations of children's learning. However, she does not use her assessments of what children know and can do effectively enough. This means she does not identify next steps for their learning that promote their rapid progress. In addition, the childminder does not share information about children's progress effectively enough with other settings they attend. This means that continuity in their learning is not promoted well enough.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management have a negative impact on children's safety and welfare. However, the childminder demonstrates a friendly manner. Children seek her company and welcome her ideas. The childminder implements some procedures that help to promote children's welfare. For example, she records children's accidents and injuries, and shares the information with parents. The childminder teaches children to manage risks sensibly. For example, she tells them how to cross the road safely when they walk to the childminder's home from school. The childminder teaches children to make choices that contribute to their good health. For instance, they know that eating sweets increases the risk of tooth decay. The childminder and children work together to establish house rules. This helps children to understand the expectations for their behaviour.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Weaknesses in teaching mean that children do not make consistently good progress from their starting points. However, most children develop the basic skills and knowledge they need to start school. Children develop independence in matters of personal hygiene. They can put on their coats and shoes with increasing independence.
