p.1

This provision is good

 Children share close and trusting relationships with the childminder. They approach her easily and confidently express their needs.  The childminder gives children lots of praise and encouragement. Children behave well and understand the boundaries and routines. They learn to take turns and respect the views and needs of others. Children receive lots of praise and develop high levels of confidence and self-esteem.  The childminder provides stimulating learning opportunities for children. This helps to inspire their interest and engage them in learning. Children make good progress in their learning and development.  The childminder has made very good improvements since the last inspection. She makes use of professional development to strengthen her service and improve outcomes for children. All previous actions have now been addressed.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Sometimes, the childminder does not give children as much opportunity as possible to take the lead in their learning and initiate their own ideas.  The childminder does not always fully consider ways to seek the views of children in order to evaluate activities to promote outcomes for children to the highest level.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has developed a secure understanding of child protection issues. She understands what action to take if she had a concern about a child's welfare. This is an improvement since the last inspection. The childminder is enthusiastic about making ongoing improvements. She makes use of professional development, such as feedback from early years advisers and attending suitable training. The childminder has a shared approach to children's learning. She seeks parents' views of her service, as part of her self-evaluation process. Written feedback from parents indicates they are happy with the care and support their children receive. The childminder has links with local schools. She recognises the importance of working with parents and other professionals involved in children's lives, to provide continuity in their care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children thoroughly enjoy engaging in a wealth of activities in the childminder's care. For example, they persevere as they use fishing roads to hook toy ducks from the water tray, and fill and empty containers. The childminder skilfully interacts with children to extend their learning. For example, she asks questions and introduces mathematical language. Children have fun playing imaginatively. For example, they use a till and pretend money to play shop. Observation and assessments of children are used effectively to identify their individual needs, and monitor and support their ongoing progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's emotional well-being is supported effectively. They share strong bonds with the childminder and are happy and relaxed in her care. Children's health and well-being are supported well. They enjoy fresh air and lots of physical play. For instance, they crawl through play tunnels and use wheeled toys in the childminder's garden. Children enjoy healthy home-cooked food. Children learn about the benefits of a healthy diet. The childminder talks about nutritious foods, as they help cut fruit and make fruit kebabs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. Children are developing good social skills. They show kindness towards each other. Children are motivated and eager to learn. They concentrate well, such as when they draw their pictures. Children are developing the key skills they need in readiness for the next stage in their learning and move to school.
