p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The childminder does not have a secure understanding of safeguarding or of who to report to should she have concerns about a child in her care. This compromises children's welfare. n The childminder's knowledge of current safeguarding legislation is not up to date. Furthermore, she does not have an understanding of how to identify someone who may be at risk of being exposed to extremist views or radicalisation. n The childminder does not practise good hygiene. For example, she fails to wash her hands in between children's nappy changes to prevent cross-contamination. As a result, children's welfare is compromised. n The childminder does not obtain all required information about children from parents before they start at the provision, to ensure that she can meet all children's needs. n The childminder does not make accurate assessments of what children know and can do, to help her to plan challenging activities that support children to make the best

possible progress. n The childminder not does not evaluate all aspects of her provision, to help her recognise where her knowledge and practice need to be improved.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector held a number of discussions with the childminder about her understanding of the early years foundation stage and how she safeguards children. n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector looked at a selection of children's assessment records, policies and procedures and a range of other relevant documentation. n The inspector took account of the views of parents that were provided through the childminder's parental questionnaires.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The childminder does not effectively review the quality of her setting. She has failed to identify weaknesses or recognise where she needs to make improvements. Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder has a detailed written safeguarding policy and has accessed some relevant training. However, she does not demonstrate a good knowledge of how to identify and report child protection concerns. The childminder does not have knowledge of the 'Prevent' duty guidance. She is not aware of the indicators that a child or family may be at risk of extreme behaviours or views. The childminder does not always ensure that she has obtained and recorded all required information about children before they start their placement. This includes information about children's dietary, health and medical needs. She understands her duty in relation to data protection laws. For example, she seeks parental consent to photograph children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The childminder does not consistently use the information gained from observations to make accurate assessments of children's capabilities and identify next steps in their learning. As a result, she is not clear about specific priorities for children's learning to support them to reach their full potential. Despite this, the childminder provides a good range of activities and some of these support children to develop new skills. For example, toddlers enjoy filling and pouring in the sand tray. This helps to promote their early exploratory skills and hand-to-eye coordination. Children enjoy taking part in song and rhyme time. The childminder offers this in both English and Polish. This helps children to develop their communication and language skills. Children enjoy exploring the well-resourced learning environment. They use their problem-solving skills to complete jigsaws. For example, children learn to recognise similarities within images they see.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

They use the small muscles in their hands to turn the jigsaw pieces until they fit.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership and management mean that children's safety and welfare are not effectively assured. At times, the childminder demonstrates poor hygiene routines. However, she does support some aspects of children's welfare effectively. The childminder is kind and caring. She has positive relationships with the children, who have formed secure attachments with her. The childminder encourages children to share and take turns and they behave well. She provides children with regular praise, such as 'good girl' and 'bravo', to develop their self-esteem. The childminder offers a range of healthy snacks for children. She provides regular opportunities for children to practise their physical skills. They enjoy playing on large equipment in the outdoor environment and during outings to the local park.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children make typical progress for their age. They learn basic skills that help prepare them for the next stage in their learning and starting school. Children become familiar with number names and counting. They explore a numbered floor puzzle and repeat number names after the childminder. This helps to support children's early mathematical skills.
