p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder has made good improvements since her last inspection and continues to access training. Her increased understanding of the safeguarding, learning and development requirements help her to meet children's care and learning effectively.  The childminder provides a broad range of experiences that successfully supports children's development. She monitors children's progress regularly and carefully plans and provides activities, such as practising to catch a ball, and introduces new words to extend children's vocabulary, to help children achieve well in all areas of their learning.  The childminder successfully involves parents in their children's learning. She shares information with them about their children's progress regularly, and encourages them to share what children learn at home and comment on their children's learning.  Children are happy and secure. The childminder supports them well to separate from

their parents with ease, helping them to settle quickly and enjoy the activities.  Children develop good independence and enjoy helping the childminder to prepare meals, for example.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the childminder does not give children more time and opportunity to fully explore and fully develop their own play ideas.  The childminder misses opportunities to encourage children to think for themselves, solve problems, and extend and develop their ideas further.

Inspection activities

 The inspector spoke to the childminder at appropriate times throughout the inspection.  The inspector looked at children's learning records, the self-evaluation form, and a selection of policies and other records.  The inspector spoke to parents and took account of their views in letters seen on the day.  The inspector observed the childminder interacting with the children.  The inspector conducted a joint observation with the childminder.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder uses self-evaluation effectively to make changes to her practice that benefit children's learning experiences. For example, she has improved how she identifies what children need to learn next, to plan targeted activities to meet their needs. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is clear about procedures to follow if she has concerns about a child's welfare. She attends regular safeguarding training and carries out daily risk assessments to ensure children remain safe and secure. The childminder effectively uses clear and well-organised records of the children's development to help her monitor their progress, and identify and address any gaps in learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder plans well for children's learning, providing targeted activities that use children's interests and learning needs successfully. For example, children are excited about playing outside with different types of balls and learning to catch them. The childminder supports them well, helping to develop their coordination, confidence and language skills through her clear instructions. She extends children's learning well, introducing them to mathematical concepts, for example encouraging children to think about how many more stickers they need to have 10.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder encourages children well to be independent. She supports them to try things for themselves and sensitively helps them to accomplish tasks when needed. Children gain a good sense of achievement. For example, they practise washing their hands independently and learn how to assemble their own wraps at lunchtime using fresh ingredients. Children are physically active. They eagerly run around the garden and pop the bubbles they blow. Children enjoy being creative. They listen attentively to different rhythms and join in using musical instruments to action songs. Children learn well to share, take turns and be kind to others. The childminder praises them enthusiastically when they behave well, further encouraging children's good behaviour.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and enjoy a broad range of learning opportunities that prepare them well for the next stage of their learning including moving on to school. They are motivated to learn and keen to take part in the activities. For example, they develop their early reading and writing skills and their understanding of numbers when they draw a hopscotch grid on the ground with chalk. Children gain good early mathematical, and language and communication skills. Children enjoy exploring and enthusiastically develop their imaginative ideas, for example, when experimenting with water in a sink.
