p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder attends regular professional development opportunities. For example, she completed a training course at the local school about quality questioning techniques. This helps her to promote children's language and communication skills effectively.  The childminder provides a welcoming environment with a wide variety of resources. Boys enjoy building a train track and show good concentration as they connect the pieces and carriages together.  The childminder finds out what children can do and already know when first starting at the setting. She uses this information well to plan activities that support children's needs and interests. Children make good progress in their learning.  Children behave well. The childminder sensitively supports children to take turns with toys and share with others. They show a good understanding of routines. For example, helping to tidy away once the activity is finished.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not consistently monitor children's progress precisely and use her assessments to help extend children's learning fully.  The childminder does not consistently give children the time they need to think through ideas or solve problems for themselves.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors. She assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector completed a joint evaluation of an activity with the childminder.  The inspector held a number of discussions with the childminder. She looked at a sample of policies and procedures, professional development records and children's assessments on an online system. She discussed self-evaluation with the childminder.  The inspector spoke to children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector took account of the views of parents recorded on the childminder's feedback forms.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder reflects well on the quality of her setting and gathers views from parents to help identify further improvements needed. She has addressed the recommendations for improvement raised at her last inspection. She promotes children's literacy and mathematical skills in a variety of ways. One example of this is children reading signs and looking at a variety of print such as numbers and labels displayed on walls. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder identifies and minimises risk for children in the setting and when on outings. She shows a good knowledge of child protection issues. She understands what action to take if she were to have any concerns about a child's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder focuses on developing children's communication skills as a priority. For example, children enjoy looking at books as the childminder asks questions to encourage them to find different items. The childminder demonstrates how to make different patterns with chalk while the children create pictures of fireworks. She uses different words to describe the fireworks and the children attempt to copy them, extending their vocabulary well. Children enjoy building towers and the childminder encourages them to count how many bricks they have used. This helps to promote children's mathematical development successfully. The childminder keeps parents well informed about their child's development. For example, she shares observations and photographs via an online system.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children take part in a variety of activities and follow their interests in play. For example, boys spend long periods playing with cars, tractors and diggers. They have many opportunities to develop their physical skills and spend time outdoors in the garden and at the local park. Children are happy, settled and have formed close relationships with the childminder. This helps to promote their personal, social and emotional well-being effectively. The childminder responds to children's individual needs quickly for instance, she settles them to sleep when they show signs of becoming tired. The childminder works successfully in partnership with others. For example, she liaises with teachers when children are due to start school. This helps to support continuity in children's care.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are working in line with expectations for their age. They develop good social skills and learn how to communicate with others effectively. They are motivated to try new activities and gradually grow in confidence. Children enjoy learning about number, shape and measure through their daily activities and routines. They enjoy making marks on paper and singing songs together. This helps children to develop key skills in preparation for school and their future learning.
