p.1

This provision is good

 Effective partnerships with parents help to meet children's individual needs well. The childminder keeps parents accurately informed of their children's achievements and involves them in their children's learning.  Children develop close relationships with the calm and caring childminder and are well behaved. They are sensitively cared for and feel safe and secure.  The childminder checks children's development effectively to identify and quickly address any gaps in their learning. Children make good progress in their learning.  Children's communication skills are promoted well. For example, the childminder continually talks to them, describing what they are doing and adding new words to build on their vocabulary.  The childminder is reflective about her practice. She consults with all parties involved in the provision to help support her self-evaluation. She has addressed the recommendation from her previous inspection. She now has effective links with other

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, the childminder does not provide extra challenges that enthuse the older and most able children to investigate even more. Teaching is not focused on helping these children to think at a higher level and increase their problem-solving skills.

Inspection activities

 The inspector spoke with the childminder and her co-childminder and children at appropriate times throughout the inspection.  The inspector observed children's play and learning in both the playroom and outside. She also observed the interaction of the childminder and co-childminder as they became involved with the children's play.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the childminder.  The inspector took into account the views of parents spoken to on the day, through written statements and questionnaires.  The inspector discussed evidence of the suitability and qualifications of the childminder and her assistants. She also discussed the children's learning, planning the childminder's self-evaluation.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of her responsibility to protect children and understands when to report concerns. The childminder and her assistants update their knowledge through attending training regularly and know what to do if they have a concern about a child. The childminder monitors the children's progress and staff performance effectively to help ensure good teaching and learning. The childminder makes effective links with the local schools, which helps children's transition when the children move on. She has good relationships with other agencies and providers involved with children. She follows any specific guidance to ensure they receive the support they need.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder skilfully supports children's learning through play. She has a good understanding of how children learn and develop. She interacts with children in a positive manner and joins in with their play. She plans enjoyable activities that link well to children's interests and learning needs. For example, children make shakers using rice which they thoroughly enjoy doing. The childminder uses this activity effectively to promote children's small-muscle skills. She encourages the children to scoop up the rice and pour it carefully into the bottle. In addition, she uses mathematical language, such as taller and full, and encourages the children to compare the sizes of the lids, helping increase their mathematical skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle quickly in the childminder's welcoming home. Children are confident and move around the rooms and outside at ease selecting their play. Children show understanding of being kind and sharing with others. For example, when pegging numbers on the washing line they patiently wait for their turn, help each other and are proud when they succeed. The childminder praises children's efforts and stays close by children to offer reassurance when needed. Children learn to adopt healthy lifestyles. The childminder takes children on regular outings, such as to local parks and toddler groups. This helps to support children's physical and social skills well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are progressing well in their learning, including those who receive funded education. Children are gaining key skills for future learning. Children concentrate and listen to stories well and are learning to write their names. They have a positive attitude to learning and are gaining good independence and personal skills. Children use their imagination well, for example, as they play with diggers in the sand and create a house out of cardboard boxes.
