p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder reflects on her setting well and implements ongoing improvements. She seeks the views of parents to enable her to identify her strengths and areas she wishes to develop. For example, since the last inspection the childminder has increased opportunities for children to learn about words and numbers.  The qualified childminder continues to develop and refresh her professional knowledge. For example, she has used knowledge from research to help her to develop effective systems of planning to ensure children make good progress across all areas of learning.  Children behave well. The childminder is a good role model. Children are polite, considerate and demonstrate respect for each other. They understand the importance of sharing and turn taking in their play.  The childminder takes children on a wide range of outings in the community and beyond. For example, they visit museums, and local parks to help them to understand

about the local area and the world around them.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always support children to understand the reasons for some of the safety procedures to extend their knowledge as fully as possible.  At times, the childminder does not recognise opportunities to encourage children to complete manageable tasks for themselves to support their independence as well as possible.

 make better use of opportunities to reinforce children's understanding of ways to keep themselves safe  strengthen the support for children to develop their independence as fully as possible.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children engaged in activities and the childminder's interaction with them. The inspector and the childminder jointly considered the impact of activities on children's learning.  The inspector sampled a range of documents, including risk assessments, policies and the children's files.  The inspector spoke with the childminder, her assistant and the children at convenient times, and discussed the childminder's self-evaluation.  The inspector took into account the written views of parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder keeps her knowledge up to date. For example, she completes regular training to help her understand the appropriate procedures to follow should any concerns arise about children's well-being. The childminder completes risk assessments for her home to ensure children can play safely. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder tracks children's progress effectively and this helps her to identify any weaker areas in their learning. The childminder works well with parents and knows how to seek help from other relevant professionals, if necessary, to help ensure that all children make good progress. The childminder ensures her assistant understands her role and responsibilities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children thoroughly enjoy the learning experiences and activities that the childminder plans. She follows children's interests and takes into account what they already know and can do. For example, she builds on their interest in steam engines from a recent outing. Children showed great interest in constructing train tracks and playing imaginatively with trains. The childminder uses children's play to extend their learning. For example, she encourages them to compare the trains to identify the longest and shortest. The childminder engages well in children's play and supports their developing literacy skills very effectively. For example, she encouraged children to listen carefully and think about words beginning with initial letter sounds.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop good relationships with the caring childminder. They settle very quickly into her setting and feel secure. For example, babies enjoy cuddles with her when they are feeling tired and they laugh and giggle during care routines. Children have daily opportunities to practise their physical skills, including during regular outdoor play. The childminder helps children to begin to take some carefully managed risks in their play. She helps children to understand about keeping healthy in the warm weather. For example, she discusses with children the importance of wearing sun cream and hats, and drinking plenty of water.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning from their starting points. They develop an early understanding that signs and written words have meaning. For example, children practise their early writing skills to make badges and labels for vehicles to support their play. Children develop a good understanding of mathematical concepts of size. For example, in their play they talk about blocks being too big to fit in their train trucks. Children gain the skills they need for the next stages of their learning and school.
