This provision is good

 The childminder's home is bright, welcoming and well resourced. Children confidently select what they like to do and make independent choices about their play. Regular routines help children to understand there is a structure to the day. Children feel secure and settled.  The childminder supports younger children very effectively with managing their behaviour. She offers solutions that are appropriate for their age and helps them understand their own emotions and feelings. Children are well behaved.  Children learn about healthy lifestyles as they enjoy a balanced diet and daily outdoor learning. The childminder encourages them to explore in the garden, the local neighbourhood and parks. This supports those children who prefer to be outdoors and their physical well-being is promoted.  The childminder evaluates her provision regularly, including the views of children and parents, and accurately identifies areas of development. For example, she has changed

the way she assesses children's development and progress to ensure it is effective.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the childminder does not provide children with enough time to think about their answers and respond to questions.  Opportunities to support children's early literacy are not as well planned or coordinated as the teaching for other areas of learning.

Inspection activities

 The inspector looked at the areas of the premises that are used for childminding, including the outdoor area.  The inspector observed the children engaged in a variety of learning experiences indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on their learning.  The inspector spoke to the childminder and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector looked at a range of documentation, including children's records, training certificates, risk assessments, suitability checks, policies and procedures.  The inspector took account of the views of parents from their written comments on letters obtained by the childminder.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has a clear understanding of safeguarding procedures. She consistently reviews her risk assessments to help ensure children are safe on outings and in her home. She also teaches children about safety in her daily routine. For example, children learn about drying the outdoor resources after rain to ensure they do not become wet or get a cold. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder liaises with other local professionals to gain more skills and knowledge about early years practice to help all children make the best progress. She monitors and tracks children's progress effectively to be able to identify any gaps. The childminder works very well with parents. She shares information about children's learning and development, and invites parents to add their comments to assessment records.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children well and plans activities that reflect their interests and abilities. She regularly assesses the development of the children and identifies the next steps in their learning. Children develop good social and communication skills. They are involved in setting up activities and talk about the things they would like to use. The childminder provides a good variety of resources with which children enjoy playing. She has a good understanding of how children learn and uses effective communication to introduce them to mathematics. For example, she describes resources using colours and shapes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children with their social skills. She works together with parents to help meet the children's development and care needs effectively, and help them settle in. Children form secure attachments with the childminder, who is very responsive to their emotional needs. The childminder is calm in her approach and very positive, role modelling the expected behaviour, being polite and helpful. This helps promote children's social skills. For example, they learn about the importance of sharing and turn taking. The childminder implements and follows good hygiene procedures to help promote children's welfare. She teaches children to wash their hands before cooking activities and meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Young children learn about mathematical concepts during play and learn about colours, numbers and quantities. All children make good progress from their starting points and are well supported for their next stage in education. They become independent and emotionally secure learners, who freely explore the learning environment. For example, when riding on bicycles they explore the leaves on the plants and talk about spiders, their webs and what they eat. This helps develop children's understanding of the natural world around them.
