p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The childminder does not always gather or record sufficient information about factors affecting children's home life. This means that she is not always aware of other professionals supporting these children, and what their roles are. n Children are not always offered the option to play outside, even when they ask to do so. Therefore they do not have opportunities to engage in large-scale physical play such as running, climbing and appropriate risk-taking. This compromises their physical development. n The childminder has accurately identified delays in some children's development. However, she has not taken swift or decisive action when further support would be helpful for these children. This puts these children at a disadvantage in the next stage of their learning. n On occasion, the childminder misses opportunities to engage with children. For example, very young children sit waiting in highchairs while the childminder prepares

their snack. They also sit and wait as the childminder is getting an activity ready for them to participate in. This means that the childminder is not extending the children's learning, or helping them achieve their full learning potential. n The childminder does not always seek appropriate medical attention for children. This compromises children's health.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The childminder has safely recruited a new assistant and offers her support and coaching in her role. n The childminder uses her assessments of what children can do when she plans purposeful learning activities. n Most parents are very happy with the care provided by the childminder. n The childminder reassures children when they become upset. They quickly settle because of the warm, nurturing relationship the childminder has developed with them.

p.2

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n enhance the existing hygiene practices to prevent illness and cross-contamination by ensuring that children are supported to wash their hands before eating n make better use of the existing assessment processes to support children more swiftly when a delay in their development is identified n improve the delivery of adult-directed learning to make sure children are not waiting for long periods of time between activities.

p.2

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector observed experiences for children. n The inspector discussed aspects of leadership and management of the setting with the childminder. n The inspector observed all areas of the setting. n The inspector took account of parents' views of the setting. n The inspector viewed a sample of relevant documentation, including some policies and procedures, and records of children's progress.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The childminder is able to identify some strengths in her provision. However, she has not effectively identified weaknesses in her practice, or where she has failed to meet the statutory requirements. The safeguarding arrangements are not effective. The childminder has a sound understanding of local child protection procedures. However, she does not always understand the role of other professionals who are supporting families using her setting. This means that she cannot contribute to, or be involved in, ongoing safeguarding assessments for children. The childminder supports her assistant to understand how to meet the needs of the children in their care effectively. Together, they have reviewed the assessment and planning processes. As a result, the childminder is clear about most children's achievements, and she generally plans relevant activities to extend children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder models appropriate language and vocabulary when playing with young children. For example, as children attempt to fit toy animals under a bridge, the childminder poses questions. She asks them if the animals are too big, too small or just the right size. She uses language which describes positioning, such as 'on top', 'underneath', 'over' and 'through'. This supports children's early understanding of mathematical concepts. She encourages children to persevere when they indicate they are about to give up on a task, therefore increasing their self-confidence. Nevertheless, there are too many missed opportunities to support children's learning and development. As a result, the quality of teaching is inadequate.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The childminder does not always make accurate records of accidents and injuries at the setting. She does not always record when children arrive at the setting with an injury sustained elsewhere. The risk of cross-contamination and illness is not always prevented by the childminder. This is because children are not consistently encouraged to wash their hands before eating. These factors compromise the children's safety, well-being and health. The children are generally well behaved, with minor incidents of unwanted behaviour being sensitively managed by the childminder. This demonstrates that children feel safe and secure in the setting. The children are offered healthy, balanced meals and snacks which promote their health.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Most children are making sufficient progress in their development. They are starting to develop some early writing skills, and an understanding of shapes, sizes and numbers. However, some children are not achieving typical levels of development in relation to their speech and language. Therefore, they are at a disadvantage as they prepare for the next stage in their learning. This, along with the weaknesses in the quality of teaching, hinders the potential outcomes for these children.
