p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder has a good awareness of how young children learn. She uses a variety of activities and experiences that engage children and build on their individual interests.

They form close attachments to the childminder and respond well to her warm, caring approach.  The childminder and her assistant interact positively with the children. They effectively encourage children's vocabulary and language skills.  The childminder demonstrates a commitment to improving her provision and ensuring it meets the needs of children and their families.

practices and ensure children's safety at all times. They supervise children well and focus on promoting their welfare.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children do not always develop their independence skills further because the childminder sometimes does things for them.  Indoor play areas are sometimes rather cluttered which makes it more difficult for children to decide what they want to do and focus their learning.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children engaged in activities and checked the premises.  The inspector spoke with the childminder at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector looked at a range of records, including children's details, learning records, and the childminder's written policies and other relevant documents.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the childminder.  The inspector took into account the childminder's comments from her self-evaluation form.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure knowledge of child protection procedures and knows how to report any welfare concerns. The childminder has a secure knowledge of how children learn and develop, and regularly updates her teaching practice by attending further training. This has a positive impact on the quality of teaching and care the children receive. The childminder evaluates the quality of her provision and gathers the views of parents to help identify areas for improvement. She has good links with the local authority advisory service and successfully implements changes to improve her provision. For example, she has recently developed the outdoor environment to enrich each area of learning. The childminder monitors the work of her assistant and ensures he understands his role and responsibilities. They attend training together to help develop consistent practice and remain up to date.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching is good. Overall, the childminder provides a stimulating environment, particularly the garden, where children enjoy learning through play. The childminder supports children's language development well using a variety of strategies. For example, she sensitively encourages children to use new words by modelling and repeating them. The childminder interacts well with children and encourages them in their play. She ensures all children's interests and needs are catered for and identified in her planning. She encourages parents to contribute to the assessment of children. This helps her to build a clear picture of each child in order to plan effectively and, using the information that parents contribute, close any gaps in their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder effectively promotes children's emotional and physical well-being. She forms strong relationships with the children and knows them very well. She takes time to build the confidence of children as they start attending. The childminder works closely with parents to ensure she meets children's individual needs and they are happy with the care their children receive. Children settle well, develop strong relationships and quickly become confident and happy learners. Children are physically active and benefit from daily opportunities to play outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning. The childminder places a strong emphasis on equipping children with the emotional and social skills they need for their future learning and school.
