p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder is a good teacher. She knows how to support children's progress towards the early learning goals. She effectively plans to meet different children's needs across the range of ages.  Children are happy and form close bonds with the childminder. Their emotional well- being is strongly supported through warm relationships.  Parents are very pleased with the service that the childminder provides. They are kept well informed about their children's achievements, so they can further support learning at home.  Children play with a good range of resources, which they choose independently. The childminder also introduces new resources to extend learning and encourage children to attempt new challenges. This helps children to be increasingly confident and competent learners.  The childminder has established strong partnerships with other childcare professionals, who can support her with any concerns she has about children's learning and

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, the childminder's interactions with children do not support them to reveal their thoughts and ideas, to further enhance the learning opportunities.  Parents are not yet fully involved in identifying future improvements, as part of the childminder's evaluation of her provision.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the childminder.  The inspector looked at written testimonials and spoke to a small selection of parents during the inspection to gain their views.  The inspector looked at documentation, for example, the childminder's self-evaluation and evidence of her suitability to work with children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder demonstrates a detailed knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She is well qualified in childcare and attends training and network events to continue her professional development. The childminder has a clear vision for the future developments that will help her to improve her provision and achieve even better outcomes for children. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder regularly attends safeguarding training to ensure her knowledge is current. She follows her policies and procedures in order to protect children's well-being. The childminder knows the signs that may cause her concern about a child's welfare and the appropriate actions to take.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder involves parents fully in assessing what children know and can do, right from the start. This nurtures strong learning partnerships and means the childminder can start to plan children's next steps swiftly. Children are encouraged to have a go, which motivates them to try new challenges. For example, children find out which objects will travel down cardboard tubes. When one gets stuck, they explore different ways of getting it out. The childminder intervenes sensitively to support children in overcoming difficulties, while ensuring that she gives them time to find their own solutions. Even the youngest children have opportunities to develop their problem-solving skills. Children are motivated to keep on trying and enjoy the times when they have mastered a new skill. The childminder closely tracks children's progress over time. She knows if there are any gaps in children's learning and plans targeted support to close these gaps, so children continue

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. They learn to play together and take care of resources. The childminder is a good role model who is kind and very caring. Children become increasingly independent. They are encouraged to manage their own care needs, for example, by washing their hands. They have access to a good range of resources and activities and enjoy space and time to follow their own interests. Children enjoy the praise they receive for their efforts, which strongly supports them to develop confidence in themselves as competent learners. The childminder provides children with healthy meals and opportunities for exercise and fresh air. Children are learning about the factors that promote healthy lifestyles.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress over time. They acquire very positive attitudes to learning. They have the skills needed in readiness for the next stages in their learning, as they move on to new settings and school.
