p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder develops caring relationships with the children. She has high expectations of behaviour, and children settle quickly in her care and enjoy playing with her. For example, young children take the childminder's hand to guide her over to join in their play and encourage her to sing songs with them.  Overall, the childminder gathers detailed information about children's learning and identifies how she can help them to make progress. Children make good progress from their starting points and the most rapid progress is made in their communication skills.  Children demonstrate fascination in their learning. The childminder follows the interests of the children and provides activities that she knows will engage them. For example, after noticing children's interest in pouring, she provides them with uncooked rice and different sized spoons and containers. Young children experiment with how to hold the

spoons to scoop the maximum amount of rice.  The childminder provides an exciting and broad curriculum. She builds strong links with a local playgroup and other childminders, to share activity ideas.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although the childminder shares information with parents about children's progress, she does not always share with parents how they could best support their child's development at home.  The childminder does not routinely use the detailed information that she collects about children's progress to ensure that her teaching supports children to make rapid progress in all areas of learning.

 develop ways to share information with parents on how they can support their child's development at home  use the information from tracking children's progress, to strengthen teaching and help children to make rapid progress in all areas of their learning.

Inspection activities

 The inspector had a tour of the areas of the premises used by the children.  The inspector carried out a joint observation with the childminder of an activity she completed and observed her interactions with the children while they played.  The inspector reviewed a sample of written policies and other documents.  The inspector read comments from parents to obtain their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good understanding of child protection procedures and what to do if she is worried that a child may be at risk of harm. This helps her to support children's welfare effectively. Safeguarding is effective. She reflects on what she would like to change to improve her provision. She effectively uses a variety of strategies to collect the views of parents to feed into her self-evaluation. Parents' comments are very positive about the care and learning that the childminder provides. The childminder provides a safe and secure learning environment in which children can learn and play.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has high expectations for children's achievements. She shares information with parents before children start and observes children's interests and skills. This helps her to provide a stimulating learning environment. Children receive good support to develop their language and communication skills. For example, she used mathematical language well to compare different sizes, as children explored different sized spoons and containers. She has a good understanding of how to help develop children's speech. For example, for young children using single words, she encourages them to use two words together and praises them when they are successful. She notes the progress children make and regularly updates parents on their child's progress, to keep them well informed.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Young children demonstrate pride in their achievements. For example, when the childminder praises children for using the right word to name toast, they smile and proudly say, 'I do'. The childminder constantly updates her professional development. For example, she now has a good understanding of how to ensure that children view themselves as part of a community and develop emotional well-being. Young children follow her high expectations of behaviour and demonstrate self-control. The childminder gives young children opportunities to be physically active inside and outside the house. She encourages healthy eating. Children help themselves to drinking water and choose which fruit they would like to eat for their snack.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and are well prepared for the next stages in their learning. Progress in literacy, and communication and language are particularly strong. For example, very young children rapidly move from making single-word statements to using two words together. Children are motivated to explore new experiences. For example, young children experiment with mashing a banana with a fork before eating it as the childminder provides new vocabulary, such as 'sticky'.
