p.1

This provision is good

 Children make good progress in relation to their starting points. The childminder uses effective assessments to monitor and support children's learning.  Children enjoy lots of activities to support their health and physical development. For example, they choose when they play outside where they ride wheeled toys, play ball games, rock to action songs and paint on the walls.  The childminder continually adapts the resources to support children's interests and needs. For example, she creates cosy areas indoors and in the garden for children who like to curl up and play quietly. She provides more mark-making tools for children who have started to show an interest in writing.  The childminder makes ongoing improvements to her provision and has addressed the recommendation from the previous inspection. For example, she uses toys, songs and outdoor games to support children in learning about numbers.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder misses some opportunities to help children learn more about shapes to extend their mathematical development further still.  The childminder does not consistently obtain detailed information from the other settings children attend to help complement children's development fully.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of her role and responsibility to support children's welfare. She understands the procedures to follow in the event of a concern about a child to help protect them from harm. The childminder regularly updates her knowledge and skills. For example, she has explored educational guidance on how children's emotional well-being influences their learning. She is using this information to devise activities to help support children's development further. The childminder monitors the quality of children's care and learning successfully. She gains parents' views to include them in making improvements and provides them with regular updates of their child's progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children well. She notices what captures their interest and responds quickly to engage them and extend their learning. For example, when children curl up in one of the quiet play areas, she introduces storytelling. She encourages them to listen, think and talk about the pictures, and helps them to learn new words to extend their vocabulary. The childminder observes children closely and uses her good teaching skills to help them achieve their next steps in the activities they choose. For example, she encourages children to count, name numerals and learn about size and position while they play games and experiment rolling toys down tubes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy, settled and choose freely for themselves. They benefit from the childminder's guidance on how to keep themselves safe. For example, they learn how to blow onto cooked food in case it is hot and how to cross roads safely on walks. The childminder helps children to develop positive attitudes and good behaviour. She provides gentle and consistent messages to help children understand why some things are not acceptable. The childminder helps children to learn about and respect one another's lives and differences. She provides outings to help children learn about natural life such as exploring the colours of autumn leaves and joining in forest school activities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop key skills for their future learning and are well prepared to move on to school. For example, they explore with confidence and enjoy taking part in activities and new experiences. Children communicate their needs and feelings clearly and enjoy telling others what they like best. They celebrate their achievements and proudly show others the things they have made. Children develop positive social skills and learn to have good manners.
