p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder has made considerable improvements since her last inspection. For example, she has made sure that the previous actions and recommendations have been met.  Children develop their early literacy skills. For instance, the childminder provides ample opportunities for them to see that print carries meaning.  The childminder regularly involves parents in their children's learning. For instance, she meets with them to share children's records and discuss their progress together. This helps parents to be able to continue their children's learning at home.  The childminder encourages children to learn about the world around them and supports their social skills. For example, they visit local parks and groups, and meet with other childminders.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder's checks on learning are not always precise and sharply focused to clearly track children's progress over time.  Children miss opportunities to do things for themselves and develop their independence further.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching and the impact this has on children's learning and development.  The inspector viewed all the premises used for childminding.  The inspector viewed a range of documentation, including suitability checks and children's records.  The inspector held discussions with the childminder at appropriate times throughout the inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of the signs that would cause her concern about a child's welfare and the processes to follow. She accesses training to help improve her knowledge and meet children's individual needs. The childminder works with other settings that children attend to support a consistent approach in meeting their learning and development. The childminder uses the views of parents and children to help make improvements to her service. Parents' written comments reflect they are very happy with the service the childminder provides.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows how to support the learning and development of children in her care. She effectively uses the information from her assessments to plan their next stage in learning. The childminder follows children's lead in play and asks them questions to help them think for themselves and take their learning further. For instance, she asks them what equipment they need to select for their activity. This helps to keep their motivation and interest in their learning. The childminder develops children's mathematical development. For example, she uses a range of language, such as 'high', 'low' and 'under'. The childminder interacts positively with children and asks them to recall the names of toys to help build their communication and language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a stimulating and welcoming environment. Children form strong emotional attachments and positive relationships with her. For example, they settle quickly back into the setting when they have not attended for some time. The childminder provides children with clear guidance to help them manage their own behaviour. For example, she comes down to the children's level and provides clear explanations about their actions and safety. The childminder helps children learn about healthy lifestyles. For instance, she talks to them about the benefits of healthy food giving them lots of energy to play in the park. The childminder supports children to learn that their views are of value and important. For instance, she gives them choices and asks for their opinion during play.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and prepare well for their next stage in learning. They are confident to ask adults for help and engage them in purposeful conversations. Children learn to keep themselves safe. For instance, the childminder teaches them basic first-aid and how to get help in an emergency. They build their physical skills. For example, they fit the pieces of the train track together and carefully select stickers for their pictures.
