p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder plans effectively to help children make good progress from their starting points. In particular, she supports children's language development effectively. For example, she consistently provides commentary to young children's movements and uses repetitive language.  The childminder works closely with parents to get to know children well from the outset. This helps her successfully meet children's care needs.  Children are sociable and feel secure in their relationships with the childminder. For example, the childminder consistently talks to children about what is happening now and what will happen next, to support their emotional well-being effectively.  The childminder uses her training successfully to manage children's behaviour, for example, helping them learn to take turns with resources.  The childminder evaluates her provision effectively and identifies ways forward to improve outcomes for children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, the childminder misses some opportunities to introduce children to mathematical ideas, in particular, to compare size and shape.  The childminder does not always give children the opportunity to choose and explore favourite songs to support their listening and attention skills even further.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the childminder's interactions with children as they played inside, and discussed their learning.  The inspector spoke with the childminder about her understanding of the early years foundation stage requirements and how she evaluates her provision.  The inspector sampled documentation, including children's learning records, and policies and procedures.  The inspector considered the written views of parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has robust procedures to ensure she keeps children safe on outings and only releases children into the care of known and authorised adults, as agreed by parents. The childminder has a good understanding of local safeguarding procedures and keeps her child protection knowledge up to date. The childminder continues to update her knowledge and teaching skills. For example, she shares practice, ideas and research with other early years providers.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder assesses and monitors children's progress efficiently. Children have good opportunities to be creative and show sustained interest in the task. For example, they choose from a wide range of red materials to create a poppy for Remembrance Day. The childminder interacts well with the children to support their learning. She provides good support when needed and expands children's vocabulary as they explore different textures. Children develop good physical skills. For example, they use tools skilfully to spread glue. Children show great excitement when the childminder makes bubbles for them. They laugh as they jump and pop them, and are keen to help pull the trigger on the bubble gun as they develop new skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a warm and welcoming environment. Children make choices about their play from a wide variety of resources that supports their interests and capabilities well. Children gain a good sense of self. For example, the childminder interacts well as young children explore the mirrors and make observations about their reflection. Children have many opportunities to visit places of interest in the local environment. This helps extend their knowledge and understanding of nature, people and communities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good skills to prepare them for their future learning. They are confident and become independent. For example, they follow instructions well and persevere to unzip the dolls' accessory bag. Younger children develop an early grasp of technology and show wonder at the effect their actions have, such as the different sounds buttons make when they press them in an interactive book. Young children listen well. For example, they show intrigue at the sound the toy buggy makes on different floor surfaces.
