This provision is inadequate

n The childminder has failed to supply Ofsted with the required information to check the suitability of all persons aged 16 and over living or working on the premises. n The childminder has not established efficient systems to ensure her knowledge is kept up to date.

For example, the childminder does not fully understand how to assess children's stage of development, or plan activities that continuously support children to make good progress. n Required records regarding information about children's progress between the ages of two and three years are not available. n The childminder does not share accurate information about children's ongoing development with parents and other settings that children attend. This does not fully support continuity of learning. n Self-evaluation is not sufficiently developed to clearly identify areas for development,

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The childminder does not have effective arrangements in place to help her identify weaknesses in practice. Consequently, she has failed to rectify areas that require significant improvement. The childminder has not prioritised her professional development to ensure she has up-to-date knowledge of the learning and development requirements. The childminder does not fully understand how to accurately assess children's learning and development, and how to plan next steps in their learning and development. This means that the childminder is not able to quickly identify any gaps in learning or seek additional support when required. She has not sustained previous knowledge gained, indicating a limited capacity to continuously improve or maintain good practice. The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. The childminder has not passed the required information to Ofsted to ensure that suitability checks have

taken place for all those over the age of 16 living on the premises. However, although this is a breach of requirements, the impact on children is minimal. This is because people who are not vetted are never left unsupervised with children. The childminder has sufficient knowledge of the different types of abuse and knows the procedure to follow should she have a concern about a child's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder observes children as they play. However, she does not take into account children's individual needs when planning activities. The childminder does not consistently assess children's progress based on an accurate knowledge of their achievements. This means that children are not supported to make the best possible progress. Although the childminder has knowledge of the requirement to complete a written progress check for children between the ages of two and three these records were not available during the inspection. In addition, systems to share information about children's ongoing learning and development with parents and other settings that children attend are not yet effective. Nevertheless, children enjoy listening to stories, which helps to develop their early literacy skills. They independently access resources, such as small pebbles, which they make towers with and count. Older children play

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Safeguarding weaknesses in leadership and management mean that children's welfare is not completely assured. However, although the childminder has breached requirements children are consistently supervised by the childminder, therefore the impact is minimal. Children have regular opportunities for outside play and benefit from fresh air and physical exercise during daily routines, including trips out into the community and to local playgroups. This provides regular opportunities for children to develop their confidence and build relationships with their peers.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not make enough progress. Activities do not offer sufficient challenge as they are not planned or closely linked to children's individual learning needs. Despite this, children enjoy positive interactions with the childminder. For example, they enjoy exploring play dough. During this activity children learn about shapes and they count, which supports some mathematical development, in preparation for starting school.
