p.1

This provision is good

 Children make good progress in their development and learn the skills they need in order to move on to their next stage of learning. Teaching is good and the childminder successfully checks children's progress and regularly shares what she sees with parents.  The childminder ensures that her premises are warm and welcoming. She is a very good role model; she is calm, gentle and treats children with positive regard. Children are exceptionally well behaved and readily seek out others to share their play experiences.  Children make good progress in their communication and language development. The childminder offers good support as children begin to progress from saying single words to forming simple sentences.  The childminder ensures children's all round good health is promoted well within the daily provision of food, fresh air, exercise and hygiene routines.  The childminder takes children on visits to a wide range of places. This helps to

promote their understanding of people and communities beyond their immediate experience. Children participate in activities that help to broaden their knowledge of different cultures.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not obtain detailed information from parents about what their children can do at home, when they first start, to accurately assess children's starting points.  Children are not fully supported in making more spontaneous and independent decisions about their play.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder is dedicated and demonstrates a good understanding of her role in supporting children's development and well-being. She has successfully addressed the actions and recommendations raised at her last inspection. She has effectively devised systems to help her evaluate her practice and drive improvements, and she has completed relevant first-aid training. The childminder places importance on professional development and attends relevant training whenever possible. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Children are kept very safe as the childminder ensures their surroundings are secure and potential risks are minimised. She is confident of the procedures to follow should she have any concerns about a child's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has appropriate expectations of all children as she makes regular assessments of what she observes children can do, and weaves relevant learning into fun activities. She introduces mathematical language of numbers, quantities and shapes into activities, such as filling bottles with natural resources. The childminder uses effective questioning, demonstration and praise when teaching children. She realises that children need encouragement to learn how to do things for themselves. She shows them how to complete a task by breaking it down into smaller actions. For example, she models the need to twist a key in a lock before the door will open in a shape sorter. As a result, children persevere and are confident to have a go. Children develop their early language skills well as the childminder introduces new words and repeats phrases into their conversations. She names objects, colours and asks questions to encourage children's

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's emotional well-being is supported very well. They are supported effectively as they move from home to the childminding setting through settling-in visits and the childminder visiting them in their own home. She establishes warm, caring relationships with children in her care. They readily go to her for cuddles and support as they play and learn. Children are happy and settled. The childminder effectively builds children's self- esteem. She gives meaningful praise for good behaviour and individual efforts. Children consider the needs of others as they play. The childminder takes them on outings into the local community where they develop their social skills and develop positive attitudes to others. Children enjoy playing outdoors and develop their physical skills on the outdoor equipment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in all areas of learning and work comfortably within the range of development typical for their age. They develop the key skills they need for the move on to the next stage in their learning. Children enjoy looking at books and establish a love of books from an early age. They develop their physical skills as they use tools and manipulate small items. For example, they practise rolling balls outside and use tools in the dough to make small patterns.
