p.1

This provision is good

 The quality of teaching is good. The childminder provides a wide range of activities and toys that promotes children's learning and development. As a result, they are inquisitive, motivated and make good progress in their learning.  The childminder gets to know children as unique individuals. She carries out regular observations and ongoing assessments. The childminder uses this information to provide stimulating experiences for children to meet their specific needs and interests.  Children's behaviour is managed well. The childminder is a good role model and provides clear guidance to the children about her expectations for behaviour and why they are important.  The childminder takes positive steps to evaluate her practice and to make improvements. She receives complimentary feedback from parents about the care she provides.  The childminder provides a safe environment. This enables children to feel protected,

happy and settled. The childminder helps promote children's personal care skills well. They access the toilet independently and know to wash their hands when required. This supports children in developing their skills in readiness for the next stage in their learning.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always obtain enough information from parents about what their child already knows and can do when they first start to help to plan challenging learning experiences fully from the outset.  The childminder does not consistently give children opportunities to find ways to solve problems themselves.

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as the childminder's self- evaluation and evidence of the suitability of the childminder and other adults in the household.  The inspector looked at children's assessment records, risk assessments and a sample of policies.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the childminder.  The inspector spoke with the childminder and children at appropriate times during the inspection and read parents' feedback about the childminder.  The inspector was given a tour of the areas of the home used for childminding purposes.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of the possible indicators of abuse. She understands the procedures to follow should she have concerns about the welfare of a child in her care. She effectively uses risk assessments to identify and minimise potential hazards in her home, garden and while on outings. Children learn how to keep themselves safe. They know that they have to hold the banisters when they walk upstairs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified childminder has a good understanding of how children learn. She engages children through a range of effective teaching methods and purposeful play. The childminder provides a stimulating environment for children. They enjoy playing independently and freely choose from the range of resources available to them. Children become deeply engaged in activities based on their interests. For example, they fill pots with soil and plant sunflower seeds. They discuss what the seeds will need to grow and take turns to water them. The childminder provides resources that help to inspire children to learn. For example, she provides opportunities that help children to develop their sensory skills. Children become absorbed in using a variety of tools with the play dough. The childminder skilfully uses every opportunity to reinforce children's understanding of number. For example, the children count play dough sausages and the childminder

develops children's understanding of one more. The childminder responds well to children's ideas and interests, meaning children are constantly motivated and engaged. The childminder observes children's learning and tracks their progress well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy their play in a warm, welcoming environment. They are happy and settled in the childminder's care. Their emotional security is initially addressed with a good settling-in procedure that is agreed with parents. Children are well prepared emotionally for moving on to nursery. They behave well and are learning to share and take turns. The childminder teaches children to be independent in their self-care routines. They know why they need to wash their hands after planting seeds. Children's good health is promoted well. They eat healthy foods, are physically active and enjoy a variety of activities outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children learn skills that will help them at school. For example, they direct their own play, select resources and attend to some of their own needs independently. Children are making very good progress from their individual starting points. They develop good relationships with the childminder and each other and they learn to value and respect each others' feelings and opinions. Children are confident and inquisitive learners who are eager to join in. They are supported to acquire self-care skills, such as putting on their own coats and shoes to play outside. Children are developing the skills required for the next stage in their development and eventual move on to school. As a result, outcomes for children are good.
