p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder does not have an accurate overview of the quality of her setting. There has been a significant decline in the quality since the last inspection. There are several breaches of the requirements that pose a significant risk to children's safety. For example, the childminder has knowingly not held a first-aid qualification for over twelve months. Her understanding of how to respond to medical emergencies is weak. The childminder has a poor understanding of wider child protection issues and she lacks a suitable understanding of reporting procedures. This means that she is unable to respond appropriately to concerns about children or in the event of an allegation. Parts of the childminder's home are extremely unclean. For example, the microwave where children's food is prepared has a thick build-up of spilt food and grime. The childminder stores children's bottles without lids on kitchen

worktops. The worktops are covered in food spillages and animal hairs and animal's used feeding bowls are placed on top of worktops. The childminder is not aware of food hygiene requirements. For instance, during the inspection, she stored children's lunches containing meat and cream uncovered in the microwave for over two hours. She then reheated the meals and served them to children without checking that they had reached the required temperature. This places children's health at significant risk. The childminder does not ensure that she has all required fire safety equipment available. This poses a risk to children in the event of a fire. The childminder does not consistently comply with the legal requirement for recording children's attendance. Additionally, she is unaware of the requirements or her responsibilities under the 1998 Data Protection Act to safeguard children.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder does not accurately observe children and assess their learning. She does not liaise with parents when children first start to find out about children's prior skills and knowledge. This means that the childminder is unable to identify if children's stage of development is appropriate for their age or identify any gaps in their learning. The childminder does not provide children with suitable challenge during activities or free play. For example, when making dough with older two-year-old children, the childminder ignores their many requests to join in and tells them to sit and wait. This impacts negatively on children's motivation and learning. The childminder does not promote children's speaking skills effectively. For example, one-year-old children are offered minimal interaction, language or eye contact. They become bored and often attempt to engage visitors into interacting. Children initiate a game with the childminder.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

For instance, they start to roll a ball to knock down skittles. Children count the skittles that they have knocked over. However, the childminder fails to challenge them further.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership and management impact significantly on children's welfare. That said, children behave well. The childminder takes children on outings and they access fresh air each day. The childminder offers some opportunities for children to learn about the wider world. For example, children explore cultural celebrations.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

The weaknesses in the childminder's teaching, assessments and planning have a negative impact on children's progress. Children are not well prepared for their next stage in learning or school. Despite this, children are confident and seek praise and encouragement for their achievements. For instance, they are eager to share their achievements with the childminder.
