p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The childminder is not clear about the procedure to follow in the event of an allegation being made against her or a member of her family. Furthermore, she has not gained sufficient knowledge of the 'Prevent' duty guidance. This means that she is not aware of what to do if a child becomes at risk of extreme views. n The childminder does not prioritise her professional development to remedy weaknesses in her practice and raise the quality of teaching to the highest level. n The childminder does not effectively provide children with consistent boundaries and clear explanations of what is acceptable behaviour. Consequently, children do not always know what is expected of them and, at times, they display unwanted behaviour. n The monitoring and assessment of children's learning are ineffective. The childminder fails to accurately assess children's stages of development. This means that gaps in children's learning go unnoticed and children do not make good enough progress.

This provision is inadequate

n The childminder does not plan activities that challenge young children to achieve success in their next stage in learning. n The childminder does not carry out progress checks for children aged between two and three years.

It has the following strengths

n The childminder teaches children about good hygiene practices as part of their daily routines. For example, they wash their hands before snack time and after using the toilet.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The childminder lacks a secure knowledge of some of the child protection procedures she must follow. She has not taken sufficient steps to keep her training updated about some wider aspects of safeguarding issues. The childminder does not ensure her professional development is up to date. Consequently, gaps in her knowledge lead to children's learning needs not being met. That said, the childminder does recognise the possible signs that a child may at risk of harm. She knows how to report any concerns she may have in a timely manner. The childminder risk assesses the environment to prevent children being put at risk of injury.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Weaknesses in teaching and assessment have a significant impact on children's learning and development. The childminder does not accurately measure the progress children make. She does not plan activities to meet children's individual learning needs. The childminder fails to build on children's interests or extend their learning. Activities are generally mundane. The childminder does not offer children the challenge they need to make progress in their learning. As a result, children become bored and move quickly from one activity to another. The childminder does not review each child's progress, as required, between the ages of two and three years. The childminder offers parents daily verbal feedback about children's routines and daily experiences.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The identified weaknesses have a negative impact on the safety and welfare of children. Furthermore, the childminder does not help children to understand the importance of boundaries and expectations of behaviour. When children stand on chairs, she does not encourage them to get down or explain why this puts them at risk of injury. Consequently, children are not learning how to behave appropriately or keep themselves safe. Children have opportunities to be physically active on a daily basis. The childminder provides children with a varied and well-balanced diet. This helps children to learn how to lead a healthy lifestyle. Children demonstrate their positive relationships with the childminder. For example, they go to the childminder for cuddles and receive praise and reassurance. This helps children to feel confident and emotionally secure. Children confidently explore their environment and make independent choices about what they

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not make the progress they are capable of due to weaknesses in teaching. They lack enthusiasm to engage in their learning and struggle to maintain their attention. For example, although children show an interest in books, the childminder fails to sustain their interest. Consequently, their understanding of stories is not developed. They do not learn to persist well when completing tasks and struggle to build on what they already know and can do. Children are not fully equipped with the key skills needed for the eventual move on to school. Despite this, children use some mathematical language in their play. For example, they talk about shapes and size.
