p.1

This provision is inadequate

n Children's safety is significantly compromised. The childminder has insufficient knowledge to carry out her role effectively in relation to child protection. She fails to report concerns about children's welfare to relevant agencies with statutory responsibility, as required. n The newly registered childminder demonstrates variable teaching skills. Her interaction is not consistently purposeful to build on what children know and can do, particularly in the area of communication and language. n The childminder works with her co-childminder, but they do not regularly self-reflect and look at ways they can improve their knowledge and the provision for the children. The childminder's evaluation of practice is not accurate.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Children enjoy plenty of choices in their play and select toy resources from the good range available. There is a strong emphasis on outdoor play in the garden, which supports children's health, physical growth and development. n The patient and calm childminder has a caring manner and builds good relationships with children. Children are well behaved and are happy in the homely environment. n The childminder builds strong relationships with parents and communicates with them effectively. Parents report positively about the setting and of their children's progress.

p.2

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector observed children's play and learning activities inside and outside and talked to children. n The inspector carried out a joint observation with the childminder. n The inspector held a leadership and management discussion with the childminder and looked at relevant documentation. n The inspector took account of the views of parents after reading written feedback.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The childminder does not have a secure knowledge of the indicators that would cause concern about children's welfare. She fails to act on signs that children may be at risk of harm and does not report concerns to agencies with statutory responsibilities, without delay. Self-evaluation is weak because the childminder has not identified breaches in the requirements of the early years foundation stage. Documentation is well organised and available for inspection. The childminder liaises with parents when children first start, to gain information about their care needs so she can help them settle.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Overall, the childminder provides interesting activities and toys that most children are keen to explore. Generally, she understands how children learn and what interests them. For example, she provides wheeled toys, balls and chalks in the garden to encourage children to develop physically. Regular assessments of what children can do are completed and are accurate. However, the childminder does not use these effectively in the implementation of play activities. For example, she does not consistently role model vocabulary and phrases to young children who are learning to talk. Nevertheless, children receive some opportunities to look at books and join in song time while watching television.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's welfare is not adequately supported because of the weaknesses in safeguarding. However, the childminder makes sure children are appropriately supervised, such as in the garden and at mealtimes. Children benefit from healthy snacks and regular drinks to keep hydrated. The childminder knows children's care routines and meets these well. For example, when babies show signs of being tired, she puts them to sleep in a cot with their comforter. The childminder is sympathetic and understanding to children's emotional needs. For example, when new children feel sad and unsettled, she cuddles them and they to look at a picture of their mummy and daddy together.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Although children are developing well in their personal social and emotional skills, they do not make the best possible progress in other areas of their development. Some children show strong attitudes to learning. They are keen to get involved in making play dough and show good skills, such as being personally independent at snack time, cutting up fruit. Some children are learning to count. Overall, children are suitably prepared for their next stage in learning, such as school.
