p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The childminder does not keep written records each time medicine is administered to children and when an accident occurs. This is a breach in the safeguarding and welfare requirements. n The childminder is unable to provide relevant car insurance details to transport minded children. This is also a breach of the childcare register. n The childminder does not help children learn how to keep themselves safe to further support their safety and welfare, particularly when they play outdoors. n The childminder fails to ensure children have access to a wide range of challenging and enjoyable experiences to meet their individual needs in all areas of learning and development. Children do not have the best possible learning opportunities. n The childminder does not support children to learn about the similarities and differences of people and communities beyond their own. This does not help to prepare children for the wider world.

p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The childminder does not identify children's starting points when they first start, and she does not use observations to precisely identify what children need to learn next to help all children make the best possible progress. n The childminder does not consistently promote good hygiene practices, particularly during daily routines. n The childminder has not accessed training to help develop her knowledge and skills to a good level. n The childminder does not seek the views of parents to help continually improve her childcare service. n The childminder does not share information with other professionals to promote a consistent approach in children's care and learning, particularly other settings children also attend.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding arrangements are not effective. The childminder is in breach of requirement for keeping written records. She does not keep a written record when she administers medication to children or keep a written record of accidents, injuries and first-aid treatment. This has a significant impact on children's safety and welfare. The childminder does not have all necessary paperwork available for inspection. She cannot confirm she has the necessary car insurance in place. The childminder does not take necessary steps to minimise all hazards to children. She does not consistently provide an appropriate safe area outdoors for children to play, in particular when children play on a road outside her premises. The childminder knows what to do if she has a concern about a child's welfare and the local reporting procedure to follow to raise her concerns. The childminder keeps her mandatory training up to date. She has not identified other

training opportunities to update her skills and knowledge further. The childminder does not seek the views of parents to help identify further improvements. Links with other settings children also attend are not effective in supporting children's care and learning.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Expectations for all children are not high enough to help prepare children for the next stages in their learning and eventual move to school. The childminder does not use what she knows about children to plan enjoyable activities that provide challenge and help them to make the best possible progress. The childminder does not provide suitable, imaginative activities and experiences to meet the needs and interests of all children. This means children quickly lose interest. That said, children behave well. Even though children have daily opportunities to go outdoors, play and learning is limited. The childminder does not clearly track children's progress from when they first start. Next steps in children's learning and development are not precise enough to help children make good progress. The childminder provides parents with a summary of children's progress when they are aged two to engage them in their children's learning and

progress. She does implement some appropriate techniques to support aspects of children's learning. For example, she asks questions and encourages children to recognise colours and count to help promote their early mathematical skills.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Breaches in leadership and management have a significant impact on children's safety and welfare. The childminder has not considered how to promote children's awareness of the world around them. This limits children's opportunities to learn about people and communities beyond their own. The childminder does not consistently promote good hygiene practices or help prevent cross contamination, in particular when children wash and dry their hands. The childminder ensures children have easy access to drinking water throughout the day to help keep them hydrated. Young children play imaginatively, for example with a doll and pretend kitchen. Children enjoy the company of the childminder. They laugh and giggle as they sing songs together.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

All children do not make the progress which they are capable of making. Children do not have access to well-planned and organised play equipment and activities, indoors and outdoors. As a result, all children's individual learning needs are not supported well enough, and they are not as well prepared for their next stages in learning and eventual move to school. That said, children are confident and happy. They independently use the toilet, with support from parents and the childminder, and confidently put on their shoes.
