p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. The childminder does not follow all necessary procedures in the event of a child protection issue. A concern was raised by a parent about an unexplained injury to a child. The childminder failed to notify child protection agencies and Ofsted. This is a failure to comply with legal requirements. This failure significantly compromises children's safety and well-being. The childminder does not maintain clear daily records relating to children's attendance. The time of children's arrival and departure on any given day is not clear. This means that children's welfare cannot be assured. The childminder completes some assessment of children's learning. However, she is not fully aware of what children might typically achieve at different ages, in particular children's early communication and language development. The childminder does not evaluate her childcare. She has not identified areas in her practice

that need development. As a result, there are breaches of legal requirements and teaching practice is poor.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The childminder does not consider how to plan activities or support to match children's individual learning needs and interests. This means children are not successfully challenged to make good progress. The childminder does not recognise when to extend and adapt children's play to enhance their learning. Very young children handle stacking beakers but are not shown how to build or play with them. They explore toy vehicles using their mouth, but are not supported by the childminder to name them or to understand how they work. The childminder has a poor understanding of how to support young children with their communication and language. She does not name everyday items or introduce clear first words. This hinders the progress children make. The childminder recognises when babies are motivated to stand and walk. However, she does not plan effectively for this. Babies pull themselves to standing and side step

holding onto furniture, keen to practise their new skills. However, the childminder does not identify how she can adapt activities to provide enough challenge in this area of their physical development.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership and management significantly compromise children's safety and well-being. Poor teaching means that a large majority of activities do not maintain children's attention or challenge them adequately. The childminder does not gain an understanding of children's interests or support them to become confident about their learning. Documents containing details of medications administered to children could not be found on the day of inspection. The childminder does not consistently record children's accidents and injuries. This compromises her ability to meet children's health needs and ensure their safety. The childminder does not organise and present indoor and outdoor activities and equipment well enough. The few resources that are accessible are not well used to meet the needs of children and promote all aspects of their learning. The childminder forms warm relationships with children and offers praise

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

at appropriate times. This helps them to feel valued and secure. She sets a good example for children in relation to manners and respect. As a result, children learn to behave well. The childminder exchanges information with parents and works with other professionals involved in the care of children. This promotes continuity of children's care.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not make the progress they are capable of because teaching does not focus on their individual needs and next steps for learning. Children struggle to become independent and gain confidence in their own abilities. They do not learn to persist well and try new things in line with their age and stage of development. Children do not make good enough progress in their communication and language skills or physical development. They show some level of confidence as they explore their environment. Outcomes for children are not good enough. Children are not equipped with the skills they require for their future learning.
