This provision is good

 The childminder makes good use of evaluation to maintain her professional development well and to keep up to date with new requirements.  The childminder builds successful relationships with parents and meets children's physical needs well.

approach. She acts as a good role model for children to follow.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always use her observations of individual children to full advantage to plan what they need to learn next in their language development.  The childminder misses some opportunities to encourage children's speech development, such as by repeating and emphasising words and letter sounds.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder carefully maintains a safe and secure environment for children's play. She has a good knowledge of child protection and clearly understands the procedure to follow should she have any concerns about a child. She effectively evaluates her service and identifies areas to develop. She maintains her professional development and sustains her good standards of service. For example, she has addressed the recommendation from the previous inspection and has improved the children's learning environment and creative play opportunities. The childminder knows how to track children's learning to maintain their good progress. She develops close working relationships with parents. She shares information regularly about children's progress to involve parents and to promote continuity in the learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder gains relevant, ongoing information from children's parents to continue to identify each child's interests and needs. She provides routines that meet individual children's learning needs effectively. She provides a wide range of resources and activities that stimulate children's play. The childminder joins in with children's play well. For example, she often follows their lead and lets them decide how to build on their own ideas. Her support helps the children to concentrate for long periods and to develop their imaginative skills, such as when they pretend to serve tea to dolls. The childminder provides good opportunities for children to develop their social skills. For example, children visit a local playgroup and learn to mix with other children. The childminder supports the development of children's physical skills well. For instance, children develop their coordination as they manipulate playdough into different shapes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and they settle quickly. They benefit from a stimulating environment. Children initiate their own play happily as they choose from a variety of easily accessible toys. Overall, they develop their skills well and form new interests. Children follow the childminder's positive example; they use good manners and respect others. Children's self- esteem is nurtured through the praise and encouragement that they receive. Children willingly help to tidy away toys and resources after their play. The childminder promotes children's understanding of healthy lifestyles effectively.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop useful skills in preparation for their next stage of learning. For example, young children listen well, and they develop good coordination and mobility. They develop good levels of independence, are polite and they learn to follow simple instructions. Children enjoy taking on appropriate responsibilities.
