p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder has built on her skills and knowledge of how children learn and develop through a variety of professional development opportunities.  The childminder has reflected on her practice since moving house and has made positive changes that benefit the children. The childminder provides a welcoming environment and children can make choices about with what to play. Children develop good self-esteem and confidence.  The childminder encourages children's communication well. She supports those children who are learning English as an additional language well and identifies quickly when others need extra support. All children become confident in their interactions with others.  The childminder monitors children's ongoing development well and plans well for their next steps in learning. Children make good progress.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasion, the childminder does not make the most of opportunities to support children to develop self-care skills during routine parts of the day.  The childminder misses opportunities to find out from parents what children know and can already do when they first come to her. In addition, she does not fully engage parents in identifying ways that she can improve experiences for the children further.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

To further improve the quality of the early years provision the provider should:

What the setting needs to do to improve further

 increase opportunities for children to develop self-care skills during routine parts of the day to support their independence  extend partnerships with parents to include them more in self-evaluation and to gain more information about children when they start to target care and teaching as accurately as possible from the very beginning.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of the childminder's teaching in her home and in the garden.  The inspector took into account the views of parents through their written testimonials and questionnaires.  The inspector carried out a joint evaluation of children's learning with the childminder.  The inspector spoke with the childminder and the children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector sampled paperwork including children's records, policies and procedures and the childminder's planning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has thought well about the organisation of the play environments for the children in her new house and how to keep them safe. For example, she reviewed all her risk assessments and has taken action to make sure the outdoor area is safe including putting up a fence. The childminder has positive relationships with parents and other providers. For example, she shares information with them about what children are doing to provide consistency in their learning and prepares them well for moving on to playgroup. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder knows what to do if she has concerns about a child's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, the childminder plans activities that meet the needs and interests of the children. Children explore the way things work. For example, they experimented with the toy figures and cars until they found the ones that made the car move. The childminder supports children's early mathematics. For example, as they used stickers she asked if they wanted the big or small ones. In addition, she supported children to count the numbered puzzle pieces as they took them out of the bag. The childminder supports children's communication well. For example, she copied the sounds they made and gave them words for the colours of cars they had chosen.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides opportunities for children to discover the natural world, be healthy and active. For example, children collect leaves from the trees in the garden, feed the horses in the nearby field and eat healthy snacks and meals. In addition, they develop physical skills and learn to manage risks. For example, they worked out how to climb the steps to the decked area and how to move the sit-and-ride cars around the available space. The childminder helps children to respect others and their cultures. For example, she encouraged children to bring in books in their home language for her to look at with them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children show creativity such as when they chose stickers for their pictures. Children interact well with others. For example, they find favourite toys and share them with others. Children show good problem-solving skills. For example, they experimented with different figures until they had the right ones to fit in the toy Ferris wheel and made it spin round. Children make their needs known. For example, they told the childminder 'no' when they did not want a sticker for their picture or held their arms up when they wanted to get out of the highchair. Children develop early writing skills, for example, as they draw patterns on a small wipeable board with a pen.
