p.1

The provision is inadequate

Children do not benefit from a well-designed curriculum that motivates and challenges them in their learning. The childminder continues to have a weak understanding of the seven areas of learning. She does not understand how to monitor children's progress and she therefore has low expectations of what children can achieve. As a result, children have poor attitudes to their learning. They lack interest in their activities and this leads to disruptive behaviour.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Nevertheless, children generally appear to be happy in the childminder's home and settle well when they arrive. However, the continued use of the television impacts on their levels of listening and attention, which are poor.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Since the last inspection, the childminder has taken insufficient action to address breaches in statutory requirements. This impacts upon children's safety and puts them at risk of harm. For instance, she has not completed and maintained an appropriate paediatric first-aid qualification. She is unaware of Local Safeguarding Children Partnership (LSCP) procedures. Her wider understanding of safeguarding and signs and symptoms of abuse remains insecure. The childminder has not informed Ofsted about changes to household members. This lack of prompt action demonstrates that she does not have the knowledge and understanding to be able to improve her provision.

need to do better?

n The childminder does not have an adequate understanding of the learning and development requirements. She does not understand her responsibility to plan a range of suitably challenging and enjoyable learning experiences. The childminder's expectations for what children can achieve are often too low. For example, she narrowly focuses children's curriculum on number, colour and shape. She does not recognise that children already know what she is trying to teach. This impacts upon children's attitudes to learning. For instance, children quickly lose interest in their learning. They become bored and begin to be disruptive. n The childminder has a weak understanding of how she can support children who speak languages other than English. For instance, when children start at her setting she is aware that children speak different languages at home. However, she does not actively find out what these are. Through discussion, she

p.2

need to do better?

demonstrates a lack of awareness of the importance of promoting languages other than English. n The childminder has a poor understanding of her responsibility to monitor children's progress. She fails to assess children's development. Her understanding of what children know and can do in relation to their age is weak.

p.2

need to do better?

8 January 2020 The childminder is unaware of her responsibility to gather and share information with parents about children's learning and development between the age of two and three years. n The childminder continues to show a poor understanding of her safeguarding responsibilities. She has failed to effectively address weaknesses in safeguarding policy and procedure identified at her last inspection. For instance, she is unaware of local multi-agency safeguarding procedures for reporting concerns about children's welfare and for reporting allegations. The childminder is unaware of signs that would indicate children are at risk of harm, such as radical and extreme views and behaviours. This means she cannot confidently identify children who could be at risk of harm. This lack of improvement demonstrates that the childminder does not have the capacity to make her provision better. n The childminder does not hold a valid first-aid qualification as required. She has

p.2

need to do better?

taken insufficient action since her last inspection to complete and maintain this. She does not understand the importance of completing this qualification to help her promote children's good health. n Through discussion, the childminder demonstrates that she does not understand the number and ages of children that she is registered to care for at any one time. She does not consistently record children's hours of attendance. For example, she occasionally records the contracted hours of some children. However, she does not record the precise hours that these children attend or name the children these hours refer to. It is unclear which children are in attendance at any one time. These ineffective procedures for recording attendance put children's safety at risk. n The childminder does not have the required procedures in place for administering medicines. She does not seek written permission from parents to

p.3

need to do better?

administer specific medicines to children when they are in her care. She does not keep a record of each time medicine is administered. This compromises children's welfare. n The childminder does not have a secure understanding of when to make notifications to Ofsted. She has not informed Ofsted of changes to adults aged 16 years or over living in the household. As a result, Ofsted has not had the necessary information to be able to check the suitability of all those who may come into contact with children. This puts children at significant risk of harm. n The childminder does not consider how she can work in partnership with parents effectively to promote consistent approaches to healthy eating. For instance, the childminder provides healthy snacks, such as fruit and water. She also gives occasional treats. However, she frequently gives children less nutritious food and high-sugar drinks that are provided by parents for their main meals. This does

p.3

need to do better?

not promote children's understanding of how to make healthy eating choices. n The television is switched on continuously when children are present in the childminder's home. The childminder actively promotes this, such as by turning it on when children move from one room to play in another. When the television is on children do not listen and respond well. They become distracted easily and do not engage in their learning. The childminder does not recognise this negative impact on children's behaviour and attitudes.

p.3

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.4

Safeguarding

Despite attending training on safeguarding, the childminder shows a very poor understanding of safeguarding matters. For instance, during discussions with the inspector, the childminder demonstrates that she is unaware of the 'Prevent' duty. She is unfamiliar with radical and extreme views or behaviours. She lacks knowledge of local safeguarding partner procedures. The childminder does not understand that she is required to notify Ofsted of changes to household members. This means that children have been cared for in her home when adults living there have not had their suitability checked. These weaknesses put children at risk of harm.
