parents in children's learning and shares regular information with them. This helps the continuity in children's learning at home and in the setting.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not share teaching methods or ideas with other settings that children attend to achieve a consistent approach to further support their learning.  When planning group activities, the childminder does not sufficiently focus on the different ages and abilities of children and adapt some tasks accordingly.

 work more effectively with other settings that children attend to focus on specific areas that further support children's learning  place more emphasis on the planning of group activities and adapt these more effectively to children's different ages, abilities and stages of learning.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector carried out a joint observation with the childminder.  The inspector had discussions with the childminder throughout the inspection about her practice and children's learning and development.  The children included the inspector in their play and chatted to her throughout the inspection.  The inspector sampled documents including children's records and parents' written views.  The inspector had a tour of the home and outdoor play areas and discussed with the childminder the improvements she has made since the previous inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder understands her responsibilities to safeguard children and knows how to recognise and report any concerns. Safeguarding is effective. Recent training has underpinned the childminder's knowledge in this regard. She knows how to protect children from harm or radical influences that undermine their well-being. The childminder monitors children's progress well and identifies strengths and gaps in their progress where they need additional support. The childminder continues to develop her skills and benefits from relevant courses and the support from her early years support network.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder carries out regular observations and assessments of children's learning. She follows children's interests, which helps her to plan activities that children enjoy. For example, the childminder provides a range of dinosaurs for younger children and she plays music that appeals to older children. Children are excited at the Christmas event. The childminder presents many craft activities using resources such as glitter, buttons, pompoms and felt to help children create their individual greeting cards. Children show an interest in books and older children know that words have meaning. The childminder introduces activities such as 'book day' to develop children's imagination in role-playing characters.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder offers gentle guidance and support. Very young children settle quickly and show confidence as they independently use the full space of the home and outdoor areas to explore and access resources. The childminder encourages children's positive behaviour. She teaches them to develop respect for each other and share toys. The childminder uses praise appropriately, which supports children's self-esteem and makes them eager to persevere with activities. The childminder ensures her home is safe and teaches children how to identify hazards. For example, children know not to touch the fragile Christmas tree baubles. They know it is unsafe to run in the home but can do so outside where the childminder provides good supervision.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children progress well from their starting points and acquire good skills for future learning. Children develop social skills and learn how to relate to others. Children are beginning to match and count while they play and older children are learning to recognise print. They handle books well and repeat words in stories. Children learn to listen and follow instructions well. They develop independence such as managing their own personal care needs.
