This provision is good
The childminder has a secure knowledge and understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She regularly monitors her performance to identify areas of strength and improvement, and attends training in order to improve outcomes for children. The quality of the childminder's teaching is good. She has effective assessment arrangements in place, which she uses well to monitor children's progress and identify their next steps in learning. The childminder has a secure understanding of her role in safeguarding children. She has effective practices and procedures in place to demonstrate this. As a result, children are safe and well cared for. Children settle well in the childminder's care; they benefit from the secure and trusting relationships that they have established with her. As a result, they are growing in confidence and developing their independence. The childminder has established effective partnerships with parents. She understands

the benefits of working with parents and other professionals to provide children with consistent and quality learning experiences.
p.1
It is not yet outstanding because:
The childminder provides fewer opportunities at times for children to fully explore and investigate technology, and learn how things work. The childminder does not always make the best use of all opportunities to extend children's use of their home language in order to strengthen their language development.

What the setting needs to do to improve further
To further improve the quality of the early years provision the provider should:

Inspection activities
The inspector observed interactions between the childminder and the children while they engaged in activities. The inspector held discussions with the childminder relating to her practice. The inspector observed areas within the home used for childminding. The inspector and childminder jointly observed the children at play. The inspector sampled some of the childminder's written records and other relevant documentation.
p.2
Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good
Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of the legal requirements to keep children safe from harm. She has detailed policies and procedures in place, which she uses well to underpin her practice and promote children's welfare. She has robust systems for managing her own performance to help her identify and improve her teaching practice. The childminder takes into account the views of parents and the local authority to assist in evaluating her practice and to target specific training to increase her skills and knowledge. She effectively monitors children's learning and development. This helps her to maintain a clear overview of their progress and target purposeful next steps to support children's individual learning needs.
p.3
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good
The childminder has a confident understanding of her role in promoting children's learning and the quality of her teaching is good. She provides an interesting and challenging learning environment, where children enjoy a broad range of experiences across all areas of learning. Children show a keen interest in numbers and counting, which the childminder successfully builds on as they play. For example, she encourages children to count different objects and to recognise numbers on displays and in books that they look at together. The childminder fosters children's language development well, for example, as she repeats phrases, names objects, sings and reads to them.
p.3
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good
Children benefit from the caring and respectful relationship they have with the childminder, and they develop strong attachments. They enjoy a well-resourced learning environment, where they have access to a good range of toys and equipment; this promotes their all-round learning experiences. Children develop a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe and healthy, for example, through effective hygiene routines and gentle reminders about healthy eating. Children's behaviour is good; they play well together, and they listen to and respond well to the childminder's requests. Children have good opportunities to engage in physical activities, such as daily trips to the park and playgroups. They learn about people from different backgrounds through their everyday experiences. For example, they play with toys that depict various images of people. As a result, children learn to value differences and similarities between themselves and others.
p.3
Outcomes for children are good
Children make good progress. They are developing the necessary skills for the next stage in their learning. For example, children are kind and caring towards each other and they share toys. They enjoy mixing andplayingwith other children and, therefore, develop good social skills in preparation for their move to school.
