This inspection: 2 Previous inspection: Not Applicable How well the early years provision meets the needs of the range of children who attend The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children 2 The effectiveness of the leadership and management of the early years provision 2

p.1

This provision is good

 Children are cared for in a homely and child friendly learning environment.  The childminder demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of her role and responsibilities in safeguarding and protecting children.  The childminder works in close partnership with parents. This results in an effective shared approach to support children's learning and development progress.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because

 The childminder does not always make the most of planned learning experiences to support and extend children's curiosity.  The childminder does not fully promote children's early writing skills as they do not always have independent access to a wide range of writing materials.

who attend

The childminder uses her good knowledge of how children develop and learn to effectively support them to make good progress. She has a good system to monitor children's development, which begins when they first start. During the first visit, the childminder observes children and talks with parents to gather key information, which is recorded on an 'all about me' form. The childminder records written observations on children's achievements and shares these with the parents on a daily communication form. She makes a note of children's next steps in their learning and development from her observations. However, the childminder does not always make the most of planned activities to extend children's learning. For example, the childminder does not always make the most of children's emerging interest and curiosity in activities to extend their learning. The childminder knows how to promote children's communication and language

well. She bends down or sits at their level so that she can make eye contact and children can see her face as she talks. This means that they can see how she forms words and hear what she says clearly. The childminder constantly uses language as she plays and sings with the children. The childminder effectively promotes children's physical development. She offers a wide variety of resources, such as, building blocks, puzzles, bats and balls, a range of cars and bikes and climbing frame with a slide. The childminder takes children on regular walks to local parks and schools. This gives them plenty of exercise and fresh air.Children are busy and motivated to learn. For example, they have fun exploring in the garden, playing with bubbles. Children develop physical control as they run and jump to catch the bubbles. The childminder promotes children's mathematical skills outdoors. For example, children can see a range of print, numbers

from one to ten to help them park the bikes. However, the childminder does not consistently provide children with a wide range of mark making resources to enable children to develop and refine their early writing skills. Parents are very involved in their children's learning. There are good systems in place to encourage a regular two-way flow of information. Parents receive information on a daily communication form about the children's routines, activities and any new achievements. Parents are encouraged to look at their child's development folder, so they can discuss with the childminder their child's progress and identified next steps in learning. This encourages parents to support children's learning at home.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

Children are very happy and settled, due to the kind and caring approach of the childminder. They form a strong bond with her and have a good sense of belonging. The childminder has a good understanding of children's individual needs and routines which is due to the friendly relationships she develops with parents. The consistency children receive helps them feel safe and secure in her care. Children are confident to help themselves to toys and resources of their choice. Resources are stored at children's level to promote their independence. This means children are able to become independent and active learners in a stimulating environment. Children learn about leading healthy lifestyles. The childminder encourages them to wash their hands before meals and after outdoor play. This helps them to develop their self-care skills and independence. The childminder role models good hygiene practices in front of children. For example, she talks

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

to children about why she washes her hands. The childminder provides children with nutritious snacks and meals. Children also have regular access to drinking water throughout the day. Regular outings to the local park help children to keep active as they learn. Children are encouraged to be aware of safety. For example, they take part in practising the emergency evacuation procedures and learn how to keep themselves safe. Children are well behaved, which is due to the childminder's consistent expectations and positive approach. The childminder frequently reminds children about sharing, taking turns and being kind towards each other, helping them to develop good relationships. For example, the children are encouraged to take turns on the slide. They wait patiently as they understand the need to wait for the slide to be clear before they can go down. Children play well together during play. They are confident due to the positive support

they receive from the childminder. This encourages them to have a go, take risks and helps them to feel proud of their achievements.

p.4

provision

The childminder's strong knowledge and understanding in relation to safeguarding means that she is clear on her role and responsibility to protect children from harm. She is aware of the procedures to follow and who to contact should she have a concern about a child in her care. Thorough risk assessments are in place and reviewed every six months to help keep risks at a minimum. As a result, the childminder maintains good standards of health and safety for all children. The childminder shows a good awareness of how to continually improve her service through self-evaluation. She provides questionnaires to parents to gather their views and responds to their suggestions towards the development of her service. The childminder has good systems in place to monitor children's progress. She evaluates her observations on the children to identify any gaps in learning. These, she shares with the parents which helps them to support their children at home. Therefore,

p.4

provision

children make good progress in relation to their starting points and are ready for the next stage in their learning. The childminder has built good relationships with the parents. She communicates with them daily and provides written feedback. This enables parents to refer to the information to support their children's learning at home.
