p.1

This provision is good

 Children make good progress in relation to their starting points. The childminder uses observations and assessments effectively to check children's development, and to help them achieve the next steps in their learning.  The childminder maintains safe, secure and stimulating play environments for children and promotes their good heath effectively. For example, she teaches children hygienic hand-washing routines and how to brush their teeth after meals.  The childminder works successfully with parents to plan and monitor their children's learning, and to support their well-being. She obtains parents views successfully. For example, parents state they are very pleased with the standards of teaching and care, and that their children enjoy attending.  The childminder reflects on children's activities and her assistants' interaction with children, to monitor the quality of her provision and to ensure they meet children's

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasion, the childminder does not give children time to respond to her questions to encourage them to think and to support their speech and language skills to develop as rapidly as possible.  The childminder does not always have the very highest expectations of what children can achieve in following their own ideas and using their imaginations.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of her role and responsibilities to safeguard children's welfare and protect them from harm. This includes her responsibility to inform Ofsted of new assistants and to ensure they are suitable before being left unsupervised with children. The childminder engages in regular professional development to extend her knowledge and skills. For example, she has obtained up-to-date information to support children's welfare and well-being. The childminder has made several other improvements since her previous inspection. For example, she now plans each child's learning individually to provide interesting activities to help them progress well. She now provides more outdoor learning, and works consistently with her assistants to support children's behaviour and health effectively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder joins in children's play with great enthusiasm and demonstrates what they can do in activities to motivate them to join in. She provides new experiences and challenges, to help keep them interested and progressing well. For example, the childminder shows children how to use different tools to roll, squash and make shapes with dough. She encourages children's mathematical development effectively. The childminder helps children to learn new words in English, for example, by repeating these back when they use their home language, which extends their vocabularies effectively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder works efficiently with her assistants to meet children's needs and, for example, to allow them time to play undisturbed. Children enjoy regular outdoor play that they enjoy and which, for example, supports their physical development well as they play with wheeled toys, play ball games and join in gardening activities. The childminder includes other activities to extend children's learning outdoors. For example, she provides chalking on the concrete path and display labels to encourage their literacy skills. The childminder helps children to develop positive attitudes and good behaviour. She works with her assistants to provide consistent messages, and helps children to learn about how others feel as a consequence of their actions.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are happy, settled and develop key skills for the move to school. For example, they count, name shapes and discuss different sizes. Children develop good levels of self- confidence, independence, and positive attitudes to learning.
