p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder manages her setting well. She has a good knowledge and understanding of the requirements, which she implements successfully in her practice, to promote good outcomes for children.  Children make good progress. The childminder supports children's learning effectively. She regularly observes and tracks children's progress to highlight their achievements, identify where they are at in their learning and target areas for further development.  The childminder provides a warm and caring environment, where children feel happy and safe. Children show through their interactions that they enjoy close attachments and establish secure relationships with the childminder.  The childminder forms strong partnerships with parents and she works well with other settings that children attend, regularly exchanging information with them. This help to ensure that she meets children's care and learning needs continuously.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not provide children with a wide range of media and materials to explore and investigate using their senses, to support their understanding of the world.  The childminder does not make the best use of self-evaluation to focus more precisely on improvements in her practice that particularly benefit outcomes for children.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the interactions between children and the childminder as they engaged in different activities.  The inspector spoke to the childminder about her practice at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector looked at some of the childminder's documentation, including records relating to the children and suitability documents relating adults living in the home.  The inspector took account of parents' views from their written feedback.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is aware of her responsibility to protect children from harm and she knows the procedures to follow if she has any concerns about a child. The childminder demonstrates a positive attitude towards furthering her professional development and refreshing her knowledge and skills. For example, she attends relevant training courses and keeps up to date with information and guidance provided by the local authority. Parents inform that they are happy with the care and learning opportunities the childminder provides for their children, and are fully involved in their children's early education.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder interacts well with the children and she enthusiastically engages in their play to support their learning. For example, while children play with bricks, the childminder introduces mathematics by encouraging them to identify colours and count. Children have opportunities to engage in creative activities. For example, they have fun painting and using playdough. The childminder supports children's communication and language skills well. She uses clear, simple language when talking with babies, and she engages in conversations with older children and asks questions to extend their thinking skills. The childminder completes regular assessments of children's progress. She works with parents from the beginning to establish children's starting points and involves them in planning for the next stages in their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is caring, warm and a good role model for children. She continually models good manners and gives children lots of encouragement and praise for their achievements. Children are happy and thoroughly enjoy the time they spend in the childminder's care. They happily approach her for hugs and cuddles, and she is equally responsive. Young children are developing a good sense of themselves and an awareness of others. They learn to play cooperatively and share resources. Children follow well- established hygiene routines. For example, with help from the childminder they wash their hands before eating and at other appropriate times throughout the day.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and acquire a wide range of skills that helps prepare them for their next stage in learning and eventual move to school. They demonstrate good communication skills. For example, older children use a range of descriptive language as they engage in discussions, and babies communicate their needs through babbling and gestures. Young children practise the early writing skills through a range of mediums, including finger painting and pens and paper.
