This provision is good

 The well-qualified childminder strives to provide high-quality practice at all times. She demonstrates a robust drive to identify targets for improvement. For instance, following recommendations raised at the previous inspection, the childminder has accessed training to help her embed further mathematical development opportunities for children.  Children use a range of materials for making marks and talk about these. The childminder demonstrates how to write their names and encourages them to begin to form letters. This helps to promote children's literacy skills.  Children's physical skills are well promoted. Children use small one-handed tools to carve pumpkins. They handle the tools correctly and use their hand-to-eye coordination skilfully to cut out different shaped pieces of pumpkin. The childminder takes children on regular outings, including trips to the library and local parks.  The childminder completes daily risk assessments. This helps to promote children's

safety. Children quickly learn how to keep themselves safe. For example, they help to clear the floor following messy play.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not maximise opportunities for children to socialise with other children of different ages and stages of development.  The childminder, on occasions, does not give children enough time to think and respond before asking further questions.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is aware of local safeguarding procedures and completes regular research. This helps her to keep up to date with changes in guidance. The childminder has effective accident and incident procedures in place and supervises children well. She reviews the overall safety of her setting and encourages children to identify hazards in the environment. The childminder works very well with parents. Parents are provided with secure passwords to access their individual child's learning and development records online. They are provided with valuable opportunities to contribute to their child's learning and development. This helps to raise children's outcomes. Parents state that they are very happy with their child's care. They comment, 'The childminder is extremely effective in supporting my child's learning and development through all activities and outings'. The childminder reviews children's progress. This helps her to swiftly identify

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Teaching is good and in some instances is outstanding. The childminder provides children with a large array of toys and stimulating resources. She regularly encourages children to make choices in their play. The childminder works alongside children and models how to correctly use resources. Children build towers with building blocks and make comparisons between objects and the height of their towers. This helps to promote children's mathematical skills. The childminder completes very regular observation and assessments of children's learning and shares these with parents and other providers where children attend. This helps to provide a consistent approach to children's learning. The childminder plans very good activities based on what children need to learn next.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. The childminder is a very good role model. Children are confident and self-assured individuals. Babies smile and babble as they look at themselves in the mirror and older children enthusiastically chat to visitors. The childminder promotes good hygiene practices and encourages children to make regular healthy choices. Children participate in activities that help them to develop an understanding of the world around them. For example, looking for snails and bugs outdoors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from what they know and can already do when they first start at the setting. They are independent and motivated to learn. Children manage their self-care needs very well. Babies demonstrate a keen interest in cause and effect toys and textured story books. This helps to promote their exploratory skills. Children are well equipped with the key skills needed for future learning and the eventual move on to school.
