p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The childminder and her assistant do not have a clear understanding of the signs of possible abuse or neglect, to enable them to take appropriate action to protect children from harm. n The childminder and her assistant do not have a secure knowledge of their responsibilities to protect children from extremist views and behaviours. n The childminder does not show a suitable understanding of changes that must be notified to Ofsted, such as events which may affect her suitability. n The childminder does not gain precise information on entry about children's development from parents and carers, and gain knowledge of other professionals working with the children, to help ensure the needs of all children are met. n The childminder is not aware of the plans in place for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Therefore, she is unaware of children's specific targets. This means there is not a shared understanding between all those involved

with individual children. n The childminder does not make the most of opportunities to share enough information about children's learning and development with other providers where children also attend. n The childminder and her assistant have not identified highly effective professional development opportunities to raise the quality of their practice to an improved level. n The childminder does not make the best use of opportunities to reflect on her practice and improve her provision. She does not gain feedback from parents and children to help her in identifying and securing improvements.

p.2

n share detailed information about the development of children with other settings they also attend to promote a more consistent approach to their learning and development n strengthen professional development opportunities to raise the quality of practice to an improved level and keep knowledge of new legislation and initiatives as current as possible n implement a robust action plan to swiftly address weaknesses identified through self- evaluation, and gain feedback from parents and children to help improve practice in order to bring about continual improvement.

p.2

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the interaction of the childminder and her assistant with the children and spoke to them and children throughout the inspection. n The inspector had a tour of the areas used for childminding. She also completed a joint observation with the childminder and discussed the impact this had on children's learning. n The inspector checked evidence of the childminder's and her assistant's training certificates, and evidence of the childminder's suitability and the suitability of all people living and working on the premises. n The inspector looked at and discussed a range of documentation, including safeguarding procedures and children's records. n The inspector discussed the childminder's self-evaluation.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The childminder does not have a sufficient understanding of the requirements of the early years foundation stage. She does not use self-evaluation effectively and has failed to identify significant weaknesses in her practice. This has resulted in breaches in the statutory requirements. Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder's and her assistant's knowledge of the different types and possible signs of abuse is too weak to ensure children are protected from harm effectively. They also have a poor understanding of potential signs that children are being exposed to extremist views and behaviours. The childminder and her assistant have completed paediatric first-aid training. However, they do not sharply focus their professional development effectively enough to keep their knowledge of new and relevant legislation current and up to date. The childminder has a poor understanding of changes that must be notified to Ofsted.

p.4

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

She suitably risk assesses her garden, ensuring younger children cannot access the trampoline. She supervises them while outside, ensuring they are playing safely.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder speaks to parents daily to pass on information about their children's general care routines and what they have enjoyed doing. However, the information she obtains from parents on entry is not sufficient enough to further plan for children's individual learning from the start. The childminder observes children in their play and plans some next steps for their development. However, these are not precise enough to help children to move on to the next stage in their learning, especially for children with SEND. She does not know which professionals are working with children with SEND. This means that the childminder is not able to quickly support targets to ensure children reach identified individual goals and seek additional support from relevant services when required. Nevertheless, children enjoy the activities the childminder offers. For example, they explore and make marks in different ways, such as with chalks outside. The

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

childminder encourages children to recognise shapes, find colour items and count toys. Children enjoy linking bricks together and lining these up. This promotes their mathematical awareness. The childminder supports young children's communication and language suitably. For example, she demonstrates threading and talks about what is happening. This helps children with SEND to repeat words they hear.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management mean that children's welfare is not assured. Partnership working with parents, outside professionals and other settings children also attend is not fully effective. As a result, children with SEND do not benefit from continuity and do not get the help and support they need. Nonetheless, children behave well. The childminder adopts a positive approach to managing behaviour to help foster children's self-esteem. Children respond positively, follow instructions for handwashing and help to tidy up. This promotes suitable hygiene procedures and familiar routines.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children with SEND make limited progress. Activities do not offer sufficient challenge as they are not closely linked to children's individual learning needs. Despite this, children enjoy positive attachments with the childminder and her assistant. Children develop some skills that motivate them to move forward in their learning. They work things out for themselves as they complete jigsaws and thread small hoops. This promotes their hand-to-eye coordination and physical skills suitably.
