p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder works tirelessly to provide children with good quality care and education. She draws effectively on her qualification, training and experience to secure continuous improvements that benefit children and their families.  The childminder builds successfully on children's interests. For example, she supports children's pretend play well, providing them with a wide range of toys and resources.  The childminder is an excellent role model for the children. For example, she uses highly successful ways to teach them how to behave extremely well. She gives them very clear messages about boundaries and expectations. Children show great respect for their toys and for adults.  Partnerships with parents are highly successful. The childminder has formed very positive and trusting partnerships with them. Parents are extremely happy and find that their children make good developmental progress from their starting points.

This provision is good

 Risk assessments are effective. The childminder uses her sound understanding of how to keep children safe to provide an appropriate environment in which to play and learn. For example, she carries out daily checks of the premises and supervises children well.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not build as far as possible on children's early reading skills. For example, she does not give children enough opportunities to handle and enjoy books.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed activities and the interactions between the childminder and children and spoke with them at appropriate times.  The inspector held discussions with the childminder about her observations of the children's play, learning and progress.  The inspector discussed the childminder's self-evaluation process and how she targets areas for improvement.  The inspector looked at a range of documentation and discussed planning with the childminder.  The inspector spoke to parents and read written feedback from them.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her role in protecting children. She knows the correct procedures to follow should she have any concerns about their safety or well-being. The childminder evaluates what she does and actively seeks views from parents to help her bring about positive changes. For example, together they identified that space could be organised more effectively to support children's learning. This resulted in appropriate changes being made. The childminder attends training and reads relevant materials to build on what she already knows. A course on how to support children to learn good behaviour, for example, has increased her knowledge significantly. This has had a very positive impact on outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Teaching is good and in some instances, outstanding. The childminder collects relevant information about children's learning and development. She makes observations and tracks children's progress accurately. She shares this information with parents and other settings that children attend, so there is a consistent approach to their care and education. The childminder plans exciting activities for children to help keep them highly motivated. For example, she uses their interest in cutting out and sticking to help them develop their mathematical understanding. The childminder engages children well in purposeful and sustained conversations, supporting their language skills very well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children display high levels of social and emotional security. They form excellent relationships with the childminder, who is exceptionally kind and caring to them. Children respond very positively to this. The childminder values children's similarities and differences extremely well. For example, she provides children with plenty of opportunities to use or hear their home languages, enhancing their understanding of the world around them. Children display impressive independence skills. For example, they are keen to take on additional responsibilities and take care of many of their own needs superbly. The childminder supports children's great awareness of how to lead healthy lifestyles. For example, she gives them excellent support to learn about the importance of healthy eating. Children benefit greatly from a diet of nutritious, home-made meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are extremely active learners. They are very eager to try new things and have highly positive attitudes to learning. For example, children take delight in showing their excellent physical abilities during dance and movement activities. They are very confident speakers and use numbers spontaneously in their play. Children gain very strong skills in preparation for the next stage of their learning, including their move to school.
