p.1

This provision is good

 Children form strong attachments with the childminder. Time is spent gradually getting to know each child and their family. The childminder uses this information to support her effectively in meeting each child's care and learning needs.  The childminder is well organised. She undertakes regular observations of children's learning and accurately tracks their progress. This information is used well to plan for the next steps in their learning.  Partnerships with parents are good. The childminder regularly shares information with parents to keep them informed and advise them on how they can support learning in the home.  The childminder gives high priority to children's well-being. Children learn to respect others and the childminder teaches them about a range of cultures and festivals.  The childminder is committed to continuous improvement in her practice. For example, she reflects on training attended and the impact her newly acquired knowledge can

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not consistently make the best of opportunities to extend children's play and learning when they are in the garden.  At times, the childminder does not provide opportunities for children to practise and gain better control of their physical skills.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed activities inside and in the garden.  The inspector jointly observed and discussed with the childminder the teaching and learning activities provided.  The inspector spoke to the childminder and the children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector viewed a range of children's records and policies and procedures shared with the parents.  The inspector took account of the views of the parents expressed at inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is aware of her responsibility to act on any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder has a strong capacity to maintain continuous improvement and she evaluates her practice regularly. For example, she seeks regular feedback from parents and her local authority adviser to inform her of any gaps in the service she provides. The childminder undertakes detailed assessments of children's development, which help her to plan future challenges and to check their progress regularly. Verbal and written parental feedback at inspection reflects positively about the service provided.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses effective teaching techniques. She follows children's interests and guides them successfully as they play. Her support helps children settle at activities for long periods. For example, children enjoy developing their painting skills and explore the use of different colours. The childminder's good interaction with the parents and children ensures she has a detailed insight into their learning experiences. For example, she ensures there are daily outdoor play experiences for children who do not have access to a garden at home. Children benefit from the broad range of activities provided for them in the childminder's home and in the community. These are planned well to enhance children's learning opportunities and extend their social skills. For example, the childminder takes children regularly to her childminder's network group. The childminder supports children's speech and language development very well. For example, she uses

children's home languages to help settle them and also teaches them English alongside these.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settled in the childminder's care. They quickly develop secure attachments with her, and they enjoy the cuddles and hugs they receive. Children enjoy the relaxed atmosphere where they feel welcomed, such as having resources that are safely and easily accessible. Children learn about responsible behaviour and to respect others. For example, they receive close supervision and positive intervention from the childminder to learn to understand right from wrong. Children welcome praise for their achievements and learn to be considerate of others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from when they start. They enjoy looking at and listening to stories read to them, and develop new vocabulary as they learn rhymes. They have opportunities to practise their early writing skills, and they problem solve as they have puzzles to complete. Children learn to take direction on self-help skills, such as with handwashing and feeding. Children develop skills and emotional well-being that help them to be ready for school.
