p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder is confident in her teaching and skilfully interacts with children during activities. This contributes towards children becoming motivated learners who make good progress in their development.  The childminder has a secure understanding about promoting positive behaviour. She praises and encourages children as they play, which helps to raise their emotional well- being and confidence.  The childminder is committed to providing children and their families with a good quality provision. She is well organised and her records and documentation are thorough and underpin her good practice.  The childminder welcomes the views of the parents using her service. This, alongside her own evaluation of practice, enables her to identify ways of enhancing the care and learning she provides.  The childminder speaks clearly, repeating words to aid children's pronunciation. She asks questions, encourages children to respond and engages them in interesting

conversations. This helps to support children's early communication skills.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The monitoring of the assistant's practice is not sufficiently robust to identify how the good quality teaching can be further enhanced.  The childminder does not always make the most of opportunities to involve parents and carers in their children's learning so that they can work together, in order to help children make even better progress.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

 strengthen the monitoring of the teaching practice of the assistant to ensure that it is sharply focused, in order to support children to make the best possible progress  strengthen the two-way flow of information with parents, encouraging them to share more detailed information about children's capabilities on entry and provide greater opportunity for them to be involved in supporting their child's ongoing learning and development.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector viewed areas of the childminder's home used for childminding.  The inspector took into account the views of parents.  The inspector reviewed relevant documentation, including evidence of qualifications and suitability of household members, children's learning journals and a sample of policies and procedures.  The inspector observed play and learning opportunities for children and undertook a joint observation of an activity with the childminder.  The inspector engaged in discussions with the childminder, her assistant and children throughout the inspection at appropriate times.  The inspector discussed self-evaluation and how the views of parents and children are included to drive improvement.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder and her assistant are clear about their responsibility to safeguard children. They know the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder undertakes risk assessments of her home and for all outings. She reviews these to help ensure that children are well protected from harm. The well-qualified childminder is committed to continually developing her early years knowledge and skills, in order to meet children's care and learning needs effectively. She has attended various training courses and has developed strong relationships with other childminders in the local area. This enables her to disseminate good practice and to develop her own provision further. The childminder has a good understanding of partnership working with other providers when appropriate.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how to engage children in activities. She captures their individual interests and plans activities around these to support their learning. The childminder has a good understanding of the assessment of children's learning. She tracks children's progress to ensure any gaps in development are identified and planned for appropriately. This includes the completion of the progress check for children aged between two and three years. Children thoroughly enjoy opportunities to initiate their own play and they do this with confidence. For example, children enjoy pretending to make lunch for the childminder and her assistant.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are comfortable in this welcoming family home. They form strong bonds with the childminder and her assistant, and are happy and content in their care. During the daily routine, the childminder encourages children to be independent whenever possible. For example, children put on their own coats and are supported to wash their hands before they eat. Children have some opportunities to socialise with other children as they attend community groups. They also accompany older children as they walk to school. This helps to familiarise younger children with other settings in preparation for their later move on to nursery or school. Children are well supported to learn how to keep themselves safe through clear instruction, and activities with the childminder. This includes, practising road safety on outings. Children learn about healthy eating through opportunities to talk about the foods they eat, and planting and growing their own vegetables. Children's physical

development is promoted daily. For example, they go for walks to the local parks and walk to and from school. This helps to support their health and well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are working well within the typical range of development for their age. They are happy, motivated and enthusiastic learners. Children concentrate well and have great fun using their imagination as they make models with play dough. They learn the key skills needed in readiness for their move on to nursery or school.
