p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder monitors children's learning to identify any gaps in their development. Children make good progress from their starting points.  The childminder engages with professionals at other settings that children attend and provides a consistent approach to their care and learning.  Children show high levels of self-esteem. They are happy, confident and have a strong bond with the childminder.  The childminder provides a stimulating learning environment and a good range of resources that reflects other cultures.  Children learn to adopt healthy lifestyles. For example, they enjoy daily opportunities to play outdoors in the childminder's garden and visit local parks.  The childminder completes regular risk assessments and maintains children's safety.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not encourage parents as much as she could to share their children's achievements at home and support the monitoring of their learning.  The childminder occasionally misses opportunities to support younger children to think for themselves.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is clear about the correct procedures to follow should she have any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder focuses well on her own professional development and ensures good outcomes for children. For example, since the last inspection she has completed her level 3 qualification in childcare. This has helped her to develop confidence in her ability to observe children and provide activities to meet their learning needs. The childminder regularly reflects on her practice and asks the views of children and parents to help identify areas for improvement. Parents are very positive about the childminder. They comment that their children are very happy in her care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of child development. She makes accurate assessments of children's progress and identifies their next steps in learning. The childminder plans challenging activities that take account of children's interests. For example, young children explore different resources and make marks with paint. They show a growing understanding of number and colour. Children learn how to use tools successfully. For example, they hold pencils correctly, show an interest in pattern and practise drawing shapes with enthusiasm. Children can access resources for themselves and make choices about their play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is very calm, patient and is a good role model for children. She celebrates children's success and praises their efforts. For example, children have great fun and persevere in controlling the remote-controlled car. They laugh, giggle, and actively involve the childminder in their play. Children learn to manage their own personal hygiene routines. The childminder works with parents and ensures that children enjoy a healthy balance of meals and snacks. The childminder provides a good range of equipment to support children to develop coordination. For example, children practise their skills, balance across tape and re-enact gym activities. The childminder prioritises children's safety and helps them to learn how to manage their own risks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their communication and language skills. For example, young children are good communicators. They develop a wide vocabulary and are confident to express their needs. Children are inquisitive and motivated learners. For example, they look closely at books and relate pictures to experiences at home. Children concentrate and approach activities with enthusiasm. They gain good skills for future learning and starting school.
