This provision is good

 The childminder has worked effectively with the local authority to update her skills and make improvements since her last inspection.

All children consistently make good progress in their learning and development. Outcomes for children are good.  Children build strong relationships with the childminder, her assistant and each other.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the childminder does not give children sufficient time to think through their own ideas and respond to questions.  The childminder has not established successful relationships with other early years settings children attend, to provide consistency in children's care and learning.

Inspection activities

 The inspector spoke to the childminder, her assistant and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector observed the quality of teaching and children's learning.  The inspector toured the childminder's home and garden.  The inspector checked evidence of the suitability of the childminder and her assistant, looked at a selection of children's records and safeguarding procedures, and discussed the childminder's self-evaluation process.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has successfully met all actions and recommendations made at the last inspection. She implements effective self-evaluation, gaining the views of parents to help identify areas of future progress. For example, the childminder has improved how she observes and assesses children's learning, to help plan for their individual next steps. The childminder works with an assistant, and monitors their practice and teaching skills effectively. For instance, she keeps her assistant up to date with her policies and procedures, and ensures she can meet children's individual learning needs. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistant have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities in keeping children safe, and know what action they would take if they had concerns about a child's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder plans a wide range of activities to motivate children's play. She encourages them to explore and investigate, and helps them to learn as they play. For example, children enjoy learning how to make malleable dough, as the childminder talks to them about the ingredients they use, introducing new words and vocabulary into their conversations. The childminder places a good focus on building children's mathematical skills. For example, she teaches children simple addition, as children learn confidently to count groups of dough cakes and add them together. The childminder keeps a close check on the progress children make. She shares children's achievements regularly with parents, to keep them informed of the good progress they make.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children build strong bonds with the childminder and her assistant, who attend to their individual care needs well. The childminder is a good role model and teaches children appropriate behaviour boundaries. Children build strong friendships with each other and learn how to play cooperatively. The childminder supports children's understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, she provides children with nutritious meals and snacks, and provides opportunities for them to gain fresh air and physical exercise. Children are independent in daily routines, and take on age-appropriate tasks willingly. For example, they tidy away toys and resources, and learn how to keep their environment safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, develop skills that prepare them for their next stage in learning, in readiness for school. For instance, they learn how categorise and sort objects, name different shapes, and count confidently. Children are eager to join in activities and develop a positive attitude to their learning.
