This provision is inadequate

n The childminder does not implement robust daily risk assessments and procedures to ensure children's health, safety and well-being. n Children's behaviour is not managed consistently. The childminder does not provide children with clear messages and boundaries. This results in disruptive behaviour and puts children's safety at risk. n Self-evaluation is not effective. The childminder does not seek feedback and include the views of parents and children when evaluating the quality of her setting. She does not take action to improve her practice or address any areas of weakness identified. As a result, children do not receive the individual support they need in their learning. n Partnerships with parents and other professionals are not effective. The childminder does not work collaboratively with parents where she has concerns about their child's progress. She does not act promptly to refer children to external professionals where

gaps in their development emerge.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. The childminder demonstrates a significant weakness in her ability to identify risks. She does not implement robust procedures to help protect children in her care. For example, children handle compost from the food-waste compost bin. They then eat fruit from the plants in the garden before washing their hands. The childminder fails to recognise this puts children's health at risk as they are exposed to harmful bacteria. Furthermore, although the childminder knows that insects and small creatures have laid eggs on the fruit plants, she continues to allow children to eat the fruit before washing these. The childminder does not help children to understand the impact this can have on their health and well-being. That said, the childminder has a good understanding of the necessary procedures to follow should she have a concern about a child's welfare. The childminder does not identify and

address key weaknesses in her practice. She does not recognise effective training opportunities for her continued professional development. As a result, children do not receive the targeted support they need to help close any gaps in their learning. Children do not make the good progress of which they are capable.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Although the childminder monitors children's progress. She does not use this information to identify effective next steps or address any gaps in their learning. The childminder does not act promptly to refer children to external professionals where significant gaps in their development emerge. She does not provide parents with adequate information about the individual support their child needs. Children do not receive the early help they need to swiftly help close any gaps in the learning. The childminder does not utilise partnerships with other professionals involved in a child's care. For example, she does not share key information with the nurseries children attend, to help ensure a consistent approach towards their learning. The childminder does not incorporate children's interests into engaging and stimulating activity and provision plans. As a result, children become bored and start to disrupt their friends' learning. This unsettles other children

and distracts them from their learning where they were otherwise happy and settled.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The childminder does not set clear boundaries and consistent expectations of children's behaviour. She does not manage unruly behaviour promptly and consistently. This leaves children confused about what is expected of them. As a result, children's behaviour becomes increasingly disorderly and disruptive. For example, children throw sand in their friend's face. They tease their friends and do not listen when they ask them to stop. The childminder fails to consistently respond to this, which leads to children becoming fractious and unsettled. The childminder has not implemented effective handwashing routines to promote children's health and hygiene. That said, the childminder provides children with healthy snacks and well-balanced meals. Children develop good physical skills as they help to butter and cut their toast into halves.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children are not supported to make the best possible progress. Children are not actively engaged and motivated learners. They do not consistently learn how to be kind, caring and considerate towards other people. As a result, children are not as well prepared for their next stages of learning and eventual move to school as they could be.
