This provision is good

 Children develop secure attachments with the nurturing childminder, helping them to develop emotional well-being. There is close consultation and information sharing with parents during the well-planned setting-in period and thereafter. This promotes continuity for children and contributes to the good progress they make.  The childminder creates a bright and welcoming indoor environment that particularly facilitates the most able, older children's learning well. Children can explore and investigate a wide range of natural media and materials in the exciting garden.  The childminder promotes children's safety and physical well-being effectively.  The childminder supports toddler's early speech and language well. She engages in purposeful dialogue during care routines and as they play, sings songs and reads stories. Toddlers delight in the encouraging praise and they copy simple phrases.  The childminder is a positive role model, helping children to learn essential early social

skills. Children are sociable and they readily greeted the inspector after being collected from pre-school. They play together harmoniously and behave well.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Sometimes, the childminder does not facilitate toddler's interests and optimise their independent learning indoors when planning activities and organising resources.  The childminder does not exchange precise information with other settings to further promote a shared approach to learning.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector completed a joint evaluation of an activity with the childminder.  The inspector held a number of discussions with the childminder. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons living or working in the household.  The inspector spoke to children during the inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder supports safe practices through a good range of safety equipment. She ensures that all potential hazards are identified and removed through good risk assessments. The childminder has a secure understanding of child protection issues. She ensures that she and any assistants have relevant training and up to date knowledge. The childminder uses various sources of information to help her reflect on and improve practice. For example, she utilises online courses to build on and improve her knowledge. She monitors her assistants' practice and cascades information from training to help improve the quality of teaching.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder monitors children's progress closely to identify and plan for what they need to master next. She shares children's development summaries with parents and provides home learning resources. For instance, children take home 'Travelling Ted'. Parents are encouraged to record the bear's adventures in a diary. The childminder then uses this as a talking point at the setting. This helps to build on children's confidence and their communication and language skills. The childminder supports children's early mathematical skills in a variety of ways. For example, children measure how tall they are on the height chart, numbers are displayed and stairs are counted with toddlers. The childminder enhances children's learning with her enthusiastic and motivating approach.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are clearly familiar with well-organised care routines that foster their early independence well. Toddlers readily find the nappy changing mat and approach the sink to wash their hands before eating. The childminder places a strong emphasis on being outdoors, contributing successfully to children's all-round good health. Also, children go on many outings. These not only enhance their physical well-being, but provide further learning opportunities and widen children's social experiences. Children have ample opportunities to learn about difference. They are eager to learn new things about others' communities and countries, such as Africa, which is reflected in a laminated booklet.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children progress well in their learning and are developing skills that prepare them for moving on to school. They confidently select what they want to play with on arrival from pre-school, talking about their morning. They demonstrate a positive approach to learning. They play collaboratively, sharing ideas as they create an animal mask. They demonstrate early literacy skills. For example, they use different writing utensils to make marks on their masks, look at favourite books and find their name to self-register.
