What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector looked at the areas of the premises that are used for childminding, including the outdoor area. n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector completed an evaluation of an activity with the childminder. n The inspector discussed self-evaluation, risk assessments and the childminder's policies and procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder does not have adequate systems in place to monitor the quality of the provision. As a result, several requirements are not met. The childminder left a child who was unwell in the sole care of an adult who is not registered as an assistant. This means that the child was not adequately supervised. Furthermore, this adult does not have a suitable knowledge of safeguarding practice or training to perform emergency paediatric first aid. This is a breach to the statutory requirements and puts children's safety and welfare at significant risk. Additionally, the childminder does not share arrangements for the supervision of children with all parents. She does not ensure that relevant personal information records for all children are easily accessible and available, as required. The childminder does not access professional development to help to improve the quality of her teaching and children's learning. That

said, she has a suitable understanding of the procedures to follow if she has concerns about a child's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Despite being well qualified, the childminder does not use information from her assessments of children's development effectively. Some children struggle to manage their feelings and behaviour. The childminder does not do enough to help to diminish these gaps in their learning. She does not provide targeted support for children to help them to reach their full potential. Despite this, the childminder engages children well in activities, such as in imaginative play experiences. For example, children enjoy playing 'shops' with the childminder. They pretend to purchase ice creams using real money and practise their early counting skills. The childminder joins in and extends children's vocabulary as they role play being a shopkeeper. Children are keen to take part and learn.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership and management significantly compromise children's safety and welfare. The childminder does not share information with other settings that children attend to help to promote continuity in their care and learning. She does not ensure that adequate support is in place to meet children's individual learning needs as they move between settings. Despite this, the childminder provides activities that promote children's physical development. For example, young children enjoy kicking a ball during play outside. They demonstrate suitable coordination skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

The weaknesses in the childminder's assessment of children's learning mean that they do not make the progress of which they are capable. However, children are gaining basic skills to prepare them for future learning and in readiness for school. For instance, young children are confident individuals. They access resources independently and make their own choices. Overall, young children are kind to one another. They respect each other's similarities and differences, such as when they discuss their individual family celebrations.
