p.1

The provision is inadequate

The childminder has failed to tackle all areas of identified weaknesses set at the last inspection. For example, the childminder does not use her observations and assessments effectively to plan suitably challenging activities. There are low expectations of what children can do and achieve. Children do not make adequate progress in their learning and development.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

In addition, the childminder does not organise the daily routines well enough, despite this weakness being raised at the last inspection. She continues to be preoccupied with domestic tasks, such as cooking. This hinders her ability to engage, motivate and support children's learning effectively. Children quickly become disengaged and, as a result, their behaviour deteriorates.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

A further weakness has been identified at this inspection. The childminder has insufficient understanding of all safeguarding issues. She fails to demonstrate that she is fully aware of the signs and symptoms that a child may be at risk of extreme views and behaviours. This puts children's welfare at risk.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children have formed a close and trusting relationship with the childminder. They enjoy cuddles with the childminder, which supports their emotional well-being. Children show that they are comfortable and settled in the setting.

n The childminder's understanding of how to observe, assess and plan for children's next steps remains weak. This hinders her ability to provide children with a wide range of learning experiences that challenge or motivate them to learn. For example, the childminder prepares a messy play activity with jelly and yoghurt without taking into account children's age and stage of development. As a result, children quickly lose interest and become disengaged. They do not gain the important skills and attitudes they need to succeed in life. n Teaching is weak. The childminder is too quick to step in and does not allow children to develop their own play. For example, when young children were singing and dancing, she disrupted their enjoyment by taking their focus away to start another activity. This prevents children from practising their language and physical skills. It does not aid children's self-esteem and confidence.

n The childminder's interactions with children are poor. This leads to deterioration in children's behaviour. For instance, children crawl and roll under a table because they are unsure of what to do next. However, the childminder models the use of words such as 'please' and 'thank you' to teach children some kind words. n The childminder is often distracted with domestic tasks, such as preparing and

7 October 2019 cooking meals. She does not organise the daily routines effectively, which has a negative impact on children's learning and enjoyment. For example, on several occasions she interrupts children's learning to check on her cooking. This causes children to lose concentration and their learning is lost. n The childminder does not focus well enough on her professional development to ensure her knowledge and skills are up to date. This hinders her ability to provide children with good-quality teaching and care practice. n The childminder does not evaluate the quality of the provision rigorously. Not all weaknesses identified at the last inspection have been met. This does not demonstrate a capacity to improve. n There are some opportunities for children to develop their social skills, such as when they visit playgroups. n The childminder informs parents of their children's activities and care routines to

help establish a consistent approach. n Children take on age-appropriate tasks that support their independence skills. For example, they help the childminder to tidy away the toys.

p.3

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The childminder has not kept her knowledge of safeguarding issues up to date. For instance, she is not aware of how to recognise signs that a child may be at risk of extreme views and behaviours. This does not ensure that children are safeguarded effectively. However, the childminder is aware of the reporting procedures to follow should she need to report a concern. Children are adequately supervised. The childminder ensures that children are within her sight and/or hearing.
