The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder has lovely relationships with the children. They are happy and settled, with a strong sense of belonging.  The childminder uses effective practices to prepare children for school and support them as they make this move. Children make good progress and they learn essential skills and routines to prepare them for their future learning.  The childminder has a good understanding of safeguarding children. She is aware of the child protection processes to follow if she is worried about a child or if an allegation is made.  The childminder has good relationships with parents. She regularly shares information about their children's development, which ensures there is consistency for children and they are well supported.  The childminder has a strong commitment to improve her practice. She completed a childcare qualification since her last inspection, which has had a good impact on the learning experiences she offers children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not make the most of opportunities to extend children's language, by using skilful questions that make them think.  On occasions, the childminder does not give children time to complete their activities before moving on to the next one. As a result, children do not always benefit from a full and positive learning experience.

who attend. This is good

The childminder has a very good understanding of children's development and assesses their learning achievements well. She uses positive teaching methods to help them make good progress in all areas of learning. There is a good selection of toys and equipment for children to play with. Children develop their independence and decision making as they make their own choices. Children use their imagination and creativity with modelling dough. The childminder extends their learning by introducing counting and numbers to progress their mathematical development. Children enjoy completing painting activities. The childminder encourages them to make choices about what they would like to paint with, such as brushes or sponges. She allows children to work independently but provides effective support when required. The childminder encourages older children to write their names on their pictures, which supports their early literacy skills.

p.3

good

The childminder uses sensitive settling-in arrangements to suit the needs of the children and families. Consequently, children settle quickly and become familiar with the routines. The childminder is a very good role model for children. Children learn to behave well as she supports them to take turns and share. The childminder ensures that children lead healthy lifestyles. They play outside with ample opportunities to engage in various physical activities. She encourages parents to bring healthy packed lunches. The childminder regular assesses and minimises risks in the environment to provide children with a very safe place to play and explore. Children help to keep the environment safe and help to tidy toys away. The childminder praises children in everything they do and this builds their self-confidence and self-esteem.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a secure understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage requirements. She gathers regular feedback from parents and uses this to make positive changes to her work. Regular training helps the childminder develop her practices further. For example, she made improvements to how she observes children and developed her risk assessment practices. The childminder has detailed policies and procedures that she effectively uses to support her good practice. She shares these with parents to provide them with information about her provision. This includes detail to help them understand the Early Years Foundation Stage framework.
