p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The childminder does not have a secure understanding of safeguarding or of who to report any concerns to that she may have about a child in her care. This compromises children's welfare. n The safeguarding policy is not in line with current guidance set by the Local Safeguarding Children Board. It does not cover the safe use of mobile phones and cameras at the setting. The childminder has a poor knowledge about what she would do if there was an allegation about a person living on the premises. This puts children's well-being at risk. n The childminder's knowledge of current safeguarding legislation and guidance is not up to date. Furthermore, she lacks sufficient understanding of how to identify someone who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme views or radicalisation. n The childminder does not give sufficient attention to maintaining the required written information about all of the children she cares for. In particular, basic personal details

are not recorded for all children. n The childminder does not have any awareness of the Data Protection Act 1988. n The childminder does not have a secure understanding of the seven areas of learning, in order to identify gaps in children's learning effectively. n Self-evaluation is weak. Children's welfare is compromised because the childminder fails to reflect on the quality of her practice actively or identify breaches of requirements. The childminder has not undertaken any professional development activities to raise her quality of teaching and improve outcomes for children further.

It has the following strengths

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder's policies and procedures are not in line with current guidance set by the Local Safeguarding Children Board. The childminder does not keep up to date with child protection requirements and fails to recognise the signs and symptoms of abuse. Additionally, she is unsure about the procedures to follow if there is a concern about a child. The childminder has not given any consideration to potential risks associated with the use of mobile phones and cameras at the setting. She is unclear of the correct procedure to follow in the event that an allegation is made about herself or a household member. Furthermore, she is not aware of current legislation, with particular regard to identifying and following up concerns about children or families being at risk of exposure to extreme views or radicalisation. Children are put at risk further as some records are incomplete. They do not include contact details for

their parents or details of who has parental responsibility. Although the childminder obtains consent from parents to take photographs of their child, she does not have any awareness of the Data Protection Act 1988, specifically relating to taking, using and sharing images of children. Self-evaluation is not effective. The childminder does not identify and address weaknesses in her practice. She does not seek training for her continued professional development, in order to improve the quality of teaching.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Since the last inspection, the childminder has improved her knowledge and understanding of how to observe and assess children's play effectively. She has introduced individual learning files for each child. However, her understanding of the learning and development requirements, specifically the prime and specific areas of learning, is not yet embedded. Nevertheless, the childminder provides a range of resources to help motivate children in their learning. For example, children enjoy looking at books with the childminder, which helps to support their literacy skills. Children learn to count the number of cars out loud, with support from the childminder. They show an interest in songs and join in singing familiar nursery rhymes.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Significant weaknesses in the leadership and management greatly compromise children's health, safety and well-being. However, the childminder keeps an accurate record of children's daily attendance. Children's behaviour is suitable, given their ages. They listen and respond to the childminder's instructions and develop suitable physical skills as they use the musical instruments. Children are provided with a range of healthy meals and snacks. They follow effective hygiene routines, such as washing their hands before eating. Children take regular trips to local parks and toddler groups, which help to broaden their experiences of the world around them and build on their social skills.

p.4

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children are not always supported well enough. Nevertheless, they learn some skills that prepare them for the next stages in their development, such as nursery or school. Children are confident, relaxed, know where to find their favourite toys and understand the daily routines. Younger children develop their physical dexterity in preparation for writing, for example, by making marks with chalk.
