p.1

This provision is good

 Children make good progress in relation to their starting points. The childminder uses observations and assessments effectively to monitor children's development and help them achieve the next steps in their learning.  The childminder maintains good standards of safety to keep children safe and secure. She provides practical activities and guidance to help children learn how to take calculated risks in their play and to stay safe.  Children benefit from lots of outdoor play and activities in the local community to learn about their world. For example, children visit the beaches and farm shops to learn about natural life and where food comes from.  The childminder has addressed the weaknesses raised at the last inspection. For example, she has developed her garden to provide exciting activities to promote all areas of children's learning. She obtains all required permissions from parents to meet

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder misses some opportunities for children to hear and use the names of shapes in play, to strengthen their good mathematical development further.  The childminder reflects on her practice but does not always successfully obtain the views of parents to help her make further improvements in her provision.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed activities and the quality of the childminder's interaction with the children.  The inspector observed the management of children's care routines.  The inspector looked at children's assessment records.  The inspector sampled the childminder's documentation and discussed her knowledge of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of her role and responsibilities to promote children's welfare. She is proactive in developing her knowledge and skills. For example, she attends regular training courses and obtains up-to- date information to ensure she is able to respond efficiently to any child protection concerns. The childminder agrees all aspects of children's care with parents and provides times for them to discuss children's well-being and progress. This helps the childminder to meet children's needs more effectively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides exciting play areas with a good range of activities for children to choose freely for themselves. She plans activities for children to learn about seasonal topics, such as observing the lifecycles of creatures. The childminder encourages children to explore and make their own suggestions, and uses her good teaching skills to challenge and engage them well. For example, at the inspection, children created with paint, glue and materials. The childminder asked questions to encourage them to think and speak, to name colours and to count. Children confidently explored the changes in colours and textures as they combined resources. The childminder extended their interest with additional materials to keep them motivated to learn more.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder promotes children's health and physical development well. For example, children choose when they play in the garden, where they enjoy using the physical play equipment and creating their own games. The childminder provides imaginative play and activities to promote children's speaking and writing skills while playing in the fresh air. For example, children used the garden tap to fill containers with water to make pretend drinks for each other and used the chalks to draw on the fences. Children are happy and play together with enthusiasm. The childminder uses their group play effectively to encourage children to share, take turns and use good manners to promote their social skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development from the start. They are developing good independence. For example, they chop foods at mealtimes, manage their own lunchboxes and learn to dress themselves. Children show motivation to learn and achieve, and persevere to overcome challenges by themselves. Children communicate confidently and learn new words regularly to extend their vocabulary. They develop good skills for their future learning and are well prepared to move on to school.
