p.1

This provision is good

 Children are happy because they have formed positive relationships and secure attachments with the childminder. This effectively supports children's emotional well- being.  The childminder provides a fun and stimulating environment where children are motivated to play and have fun learning.  The childminder carries out regular observations of children as they play. She monitors and tracks children's progress so she can easily see the areas where they are making least progress and provide appropriate support. As a result, children make good progress in all areas of development and acquire the skills needed for the next stage in learning.  The childminder evaluates and continuously improves her practice. She updates her skills and knowledge through regular training to promote outcomes for children. She identifies any weaknesses in her practice and this drives ongoing improvements.  The childminder effectively supports children's language and communication skills

through quality interactions and a focus on developing their speaking skills.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always make the most of all areas of the environment when planning rich and varied learning experiences for all children, including the youngest.  The childminder misses some opportunities to work in partnership with parents to help them support their children's learning and development at home.

Inspection activities

 The inspector had discussions with the childminder at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector observed activities and the childminder's interactions with children in the home.  The inspector looked at documentation, including a sample of children's records, and checked the suitability of the childminder to work with children and other adult household members.  The inspector took account of the views of children and those of parents through reviewing documents. The inspector discussed the childminder's self-evaluation with her.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the childminder.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The qualified and experienced childminder has a good understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She regularly seeks professional development opportunities and meets with other childcare providers to help her evaluate her practice and gather good practice ideas. This contributes to raising the quality of care and education she provides. The childminder has a good understanding of her role and responsibility in terms of child protection to protect children from harm. She knows how to act in the event of an accident and who to contact should she have a concern about a child's well-being. Safeguarding is effective. She adapts her teaching and environment to meet individual children's changing needs. Parents have a good understanding of the childminder's procedures because she shares her policies with them from the start so they know what to expect.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Teaching is consistently strong. The childminder has a good knowledge and understanding of what children can do, and what they need to learn next. Children enjoy the range of exciting activities provided. The childminder talks to children about what they are doing and uses teaching techniques that are developmentally appropriate for them. This helps to promote children's language and communication skills. The childminder supports children well to develop skills to be ready for the next stage of learning. Babies enjoy playing alongside the childminder as she supports their play and encourages them to explore the resources and environments. They become motivated and active learners who are enthusiastic and keen to try new things.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder has a strong relationship with children. Children are comfortable and secure in her care, and play happily in her welcoming home. This effectively promotes their emotional well-being. The childminder provides children with opportunities during daily care routines to be independent from an early age. She provides children with lots of opportunities to learn about the world around them. They take walks in the local community and gain a good knowledge and understanding of diversity through a range of play activities and resources. Children receive frequent praise from the childminder for their efforts and achievements, which helps to develop their confidence and self-esteem. Babies socialise well, sharing toys with each other and enjoying one another's company.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning from their starting points, across all areas. They have time to lead their play and the childminder enthusiastically interacts with them. Children engage in activities well and are motivated to learn because the childminder offers good challenges and makes things interesting.
