This provision is inadequate

n The childminder has failed to notify Ofsted of adults living on the premises. This means that the appropriate suitability checks have not been completed. This is a significant risk to children. n The childminder does not demonstrate a good understanding of safeguarding practices and procedures, including wider safeguarding issues. She is not aware of the correct procedure to follow in the event of an allegation being made against her or someone living or working on her premises. n The childminder does not effectively manage children's behaviour. She does not promote enough positive reminders to help children to develop good levels of self- esteem. Children do not have good enough opportunities to learn how their feelings and behaviours can have an impact on others. n The childminder does not ensure records are stored securely and readily available for inspection. This compromises children's welfare.

p.1

This provision is inadequate

n Children are not provided with a good level of challenge during activities. They become disengaged and lack motivation to learn. The childminder does not plan activities based on what children need to learn next. She does not accurately assess children's learning, including completing the required two year progress check in a timely manner. n Partnership working with parents is ineffective. The childminder does not gather the views of parents regarding the overall quality of practice. Furthermore, she does not provide effective strategies to fully engage parents in their children's learning. This does not help to promote a consistent approach to children's learning needs. n The childminder has not sought ways to help develop her knowledge and skills. She does not identify and address weaknesses in practice.

It has the following strengths

n Children participate in physical activities. They are provided with healthy choices during mealtimes and are encouraged to follow hygiene practices. This helps to promote children's awareness of how to lead a healthy lifestyle.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder has failed to notify Ofsted of an adult living on the premises. This means that the appropriate suitability checks have not been completed. This puts children at risk of harm. In addition, the childminder does not demonstrate a good understanding of wider safeguarding issues. She is not aware of the correct procedure to follow in the event of an allegation made against her or a member of the household. The childminder does not ensure records are available for the purpose of inspection. This includes the appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service check numbers. The childminder does not ensure she provides parents with enough opportunities to share their views regarding the overall quality of the setting. She does not review her practice and identify areas of improvement. Furthermore, the childminder does not seek ways to develop her knowledge and skills to help improve outcomes for

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Despite her qualifications, the childminder does not provide children with enough challenge during activities or encourage children to develop their own thinking skills. For example, children use building blocks to create towers. The childminder sits and observes this before taking children's models apart and telling children she is 'fixing their models'. This does not help to promote children's self-esteem. The childminder completes observations and assessments of children's learning. However, she does not accurately identify and plan for what children need to learn next. In addition, she does not ensure the required two-year-old progress check is completed in a timely manner and shared with parents. This does not help to identify gaps in children's learning.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The childminder does not manage children's behaviour effectively. Children are not provided with opportunities to develop an understanding of how their behaviour has an impact on others. In addition, the childminder does not use positive reinforcements when dealing with children's behaviour. She does not liaise with parents well enough to share information regarding children's learning needs. In addition, she does not promote effective and consistent strategies to help children develop good levels of confidence.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children are not provided the suitable key skills to help them make the best possible progress and prepare them for their eventual move to school. At times, they become disinterested and demonstrate challenging behaviours. However, children develop suitable levels of independence and manage their self-care needs well. Children engage in conversation with visitors. They learn to count and make comparisons between different heights of objects. This helps to promote their mathematical understanding.
