This provision is good

 The childminder provides a wide range of good-quality resources and activities to extend children's development. Children make good progress in their learning.  Children form close and trusting relationships with the childminder and her assistants. They learn to value and respect one another and feel confident, secure and happy in the childminder's home.  The childminder ensures children develop a clear understanding of the importance of good personal hygiene to promote their physical health and well-being.  The childminder is keen to improve her professional knowledge and regularly seeks further training and support. She has recently attended training to help her to effectively monitor and plan challenging activities to enhance children's learning experiences.  The childminder and her assistants are vigilant in their supervision of children and conduct effective risk assessments to help them identify potential hazards.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children do not always have enough opportunities to do things for themselves and increase their skills in independence.  The childminder does not always seek the views of parents to help identify areas for further development as part of her self-evaluation process.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has developed her practice well. She supervises her assistants to ensure their work is consistently effective and identifies relevant training to support them. Since her last inspection, she has addressed the recommendations. For example, she effectively plans activities and provides resources that promote positive attitudes to diversity and inclusion. Furthermore, she monitors children's progress well to ensure that any identified gaps in their learning are narrowing and clearly identifies their next steps. She shares this information with the parents to promote consistency in children's learning and care. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a very good understanding of safeguarding procedures and what to do if any issues arise.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good knowledge and understanding of the learning and development requirements. She uses her knowledge of children's interests to plan challenging and interesting activities that motivate children to learn and progress further. For example, children enjoyed singing nursery rhymes and played with play dough. The childminder promoted their learning further, for example, by asking them questions to extend their vocabulary, literacy and mathematical skills. She effectively helps children to prepare for their future learning, including when they move on to school. The childminder promotes children's physical skills exceptionally well. For example, children enjoyed dancing and played with a range of stimulating toys to help them with their climbing, balancing and coordination skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children share strong attachments with the childminder and her assistants, and settle quickly in their care. The childminder closely follows children's familiar routines and quickly responds to their individual needs. The childminder helps children to manage some basic skills on their own. For example, she stores toys at low level to encourage children's free choice. Furthermore, children help to tidy up and put on their own coats and boots. Children are well behaved. The childminder encourages children to be attentive, to follow instructions and share. She uses clear and consistent methods to manage children's behaviour. The childminder ensures children develop a positive outlook with regard to being healthy. They thoroughly enjoy play opportunities outdoors and benefit from a healthy diet.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. They learn to make choices, express their needs and begin to develop an understanding of early reading and mathematics. Children have the skills they need for the next stage in their learning.
