p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The childminder's knowledge of wider safeguarding issues, for example how to protect children from the risks of radicalisation and extreme views, is weak. n Children's safety cannot be assured because the childminder does not have an accurate record of children's attendance. n The childminder has a poor knowledge of her legal responsibility to notify Ofsted of significant events. n The childminder has not yet fully established a targeted programme of professional development to further enhance the quality of teaching and learning. n Self-evaluation is not sufficiently robust to fully identify and prioritise areas for improvement.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The childminder uses assessments effectively to track children's development. She uses this information to plan appropriate interesting activities. This motivates children to learn and helps them to make good progress. n The childminder manages children's behaviour effectively. She offers meaningful praise to children for their achievements, helping to raise their confidence and self-esteem.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The childminder does not identify weaknesses in her practice effectively. Arrangements for safeguarding are ineffective. The childminder is not aware of current wider safeguarding issues, such as indicators that children may be at risk of harm from extreme views. The childminder is not fully aware of the reasons she must contact Ofsted in the occurrence of significant events. Furthermore, she does not keep an accurate record of children's attendance. This means that she cannot guarantee children's safety in the event of an emergency. Nonetheless, the childminder completes regular risk assessments to help identify and minimise any hazards to children in her home. She has established links with the local school to help support children in their future transitions.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is actively involved in children's play. For example, she supports young children's communication and language effectively, as she plays alongside them. The childminder asks questions to support children's thinking skills and repeats words to help their understanding. The childminder offers a balance of adult-led and child-initiated learning experiences and has an accurate overview of children's development. The childminder speaks to parents daily to pass on information about their children's general care routines and activities that they have enjoyed. Children thoroughly enjoy using their imagination and taking part in role-play activities. For example, they play with dolls and put them on the apparatus outdoors, such as the small slide.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's safety is not assured. The weaknesses in leadership and management compromise children's well-being. However, the childminder has a friendly nature with children, who demonstrate that they feel emotionally secure in her care. Children's good health is promoted and they enjoy nutritious snacks and daily fresh air. Children have regular opportunities to play in the childminders garden and go on walks in the local community, which helps to support their physical abilities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and develop skills that help them prepare for starting school. For example, children attend a range of groups within the community. This provides regular opportunities for children to build relationships to support their social skills. Children learn to count and are encouraged to use number language in their play. This helps to develop their mathematical skills. Children develop their early writing skills as they experiment with different materials, such as paint.
