This provision is good

 The childminder offers a very clean, warm and secure environment in which she establishes strong bonds with the children.  The childminder evaluates the quality of her service effectively and plans worthwhile improvements.  The childminder consistently implements a range of policies and well-thought-out procedures that keep children safe effectively.  The childminder uses her qualification well.

They enjoy their time with the childminder and grow in confidence. They behave well.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not take every opportunity to plan and provide highly challenging activities as part of her teaching so children's progress is rapid.  The childminder does not take all opportunities to gain as much information from parents as possible about children's achievements at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good understanding of all requirements. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of her role in protecting children from harm. She is fully aware of the procedures to follow if she has concerns relating to children. The childminder reflects thoughtfully on how she might improve activities to enhance children's future learning, and keeps a close check on children's progress. She has addressed the recommendation from the previous inspection and now engages all parents in their children's learning. This has helped the childminder to maintain her good standards. The childminder keeps her skills up to date through undertaking training and professional discussions.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder gathers information from parents when their children start, and uses this information in her planning to match the individual interests of children. She then continues to plan for children's interests. For example, the childminder noticed an interest in numbers, so she planned a painting activity to promote these. At the same time, children extended their language; they talked about the different colours in their paintings, such as white and orange. The childminder extends children's learning well. For example, she makes good use of the local community and environment. Children enjoy being active and joining in physical activities. The childminder prepares children well for the next stages in their development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder gets to know the children quickly; she uses good settling-in procedures. She has a friendly approach that helps children build trusting relationships with her. The childminder offers a welcoming and well-resourced environment. She uses a range of resources that interest the children so they are eager to investigate these. Children develop independence and confidence through a variety of practical and social situations. For example, they visit local children's centres. Children learn how to share and play together harmoniously. The childminder promotes children's emotional security and self- esteem effectively, such as through praising their efforts and achievements.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. The childminder helps children gain personal independence, for example, and children have positive attitudes towards trying new experiences. Children are prepared well for the next stage in their learning.
