p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder is well organised. She keeps detailed records of children's development and they make good progress.  The childminder consistently supports children's communication and language development effectively. She encourages children to think and extend their vocabulary.

and suggestions when making changes to her practice.  The childminder has good partnerships with other professionals at settings children also attend. They share information about the children's development to help promote continuity in their care and learning.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not fully use information from assessments to raise children's learning to the highest level.  The childminder, occasionally, misses opportunities to help develop and extend children's very good understanding of shape, size and number.

Inspection activities

 The inspector toured the areas of the premises used by children during the inspection and observed children's activities.  The inspector observed a planned activity and jointly evaluated this with the childminder.  The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector checked evidence of the childminder's suitability, training certificates, risk assessments, and looked at her policies and procedures.  The inspector held conversations with the childminder and children throughout the inspection.  The inspector took account of the views of parents, from written comments they had provided.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder is committed to improving her knowledge and skills. She is working towards an early years qualification to help her to develop an even clearer understanding of how children learn and develop. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a very good understanding about her role and responsibilities in protecting children from harm. Training, such as paediatric first aid and child protection, supports the childminder's understanding about keeping children safe. She effectively uses risk assessments to identify and minimise potential hazards in her home, garden and while on outings. A wide range of detailed policies and procedures is shared with parents and effectively implemented in practice. This helps to support the safe management of the childminder's setting.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder interacts positively with children while they play. She asks lots of questions and constantly talks to them, helping them to share their thoughts and ideas confidently. This contributes towards children developing good listening and speaking skills in readiness for moving on to school. The childminder provides a good range of activities that motivate the children to learn. For example, they thoroughly enjoy filling bottles with glitter and water to make their own sensory shakers. Children talk to the childminder about how sparkly their shakers look and how full with water they are. This helps children, generally, to learn about mathematical concepts, such as volume and capacity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder works closely with parents to sensitively settle children into her care. They are kept well informed about their children's ongoing development. Children enjoy secure and trusting relationships with the childminder which supports their emotional well- being. She gives constant praise and encouragement to the children for their efforts and achievements which helps them to gain a positive sense of well-being. The childminder promotes a healthy lifestyle. Parents are encouraged to send nutritious packed lunches for their children. The childminder teaches children about effective hygiene routines and they are encouraged to be independent in their personal care. She regularly takes children out to local toddler groups, country parks and play areas. This helps to foster their physical well-being effectively and contributes to them gaining knowledge of their wider community.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making expected progress from their individual starting points and are working comfortably within the range of development typical for their age. The childminder supports children to develop the skills they need for their next steps in learning.
