 The capacity for continuous improvement is good. The childminder accurately identifies gaps in her knowledge. She accesses information to improve her understanding in relation to safeguarding and activities, to support children's learning.  The childminder plans activities that she knows the children will enjoy. She observes them as they play and assesses what they know and can do. Planned activities incorporate the children's current stage of development and individual interests.  The childminder supports children's emotional security well. Her home is warm and welcoming to children. The childminder sets out her resources in an inviting way. Children get involved and begin to play as soon as they arrive after a morning at pre- school.  The childminder enhances children's communication and language skills as they play and during their routines. Lunchtime is a sociable occasion where the childminder and

children sit together. Children talk about their packed lunches and their time spent at pre-school, and share their own experiences from their summer holidays.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the childminder does not give children enough time to think and respond to questions she asks them.  There are occasions when the childminder does not fully explain the consequences of children's actions on themselves and others, as they learn to moderate their behaviour.

Inspection activities

 The inspector spoke with the childminder and the children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities in the childminder's home and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as the childminder's training certificates and evidence of the suitability of adults living in the home.  The inspector took account of the written views of parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder is aware of her responsibilities to protect children against harm and neglect. The childminder accesses training and shares good practice with other providers to enhance her knowledge in areas, such as safeguarding. Consistency in children's care and learning is effectively supported. The childminder is fully aware of the benefits of working with other providers, such as when children attend two settings. The childminder builds relationships with other providers and shares what she knows about children's individual levels of development. Parents are happy with the service. They especially appreciate the fun activities their children participate in and that their children are beginning to learn boundaries.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching is good. The childminder is fully aware of the children's stages of development and interests, and she uses this information to plan for their individual learning. Children make lots of choices for themselves. They confidently move between the rooms in the childminder's home, accessing a good range of adult-led and child- initiated activities. The childminder duplicates some of the most popular resources, such as pushchairs. Children excite as they play with new, less-familiar resources. They play in a tray of water balls, using tools to grab and transport the small and large balls into bottles and containers. The childminder helps the children to understand a range of mathematical language, such as the names of shapes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have good amounts of space to play both indoors and outside. Overall, they behave well and are beginning to learn the difference between right and wrong. Children are learning to lead a healthy lifestyle. The childminder encourages them to drink regularly and she supports parents in providing healthy packed lunches. Children learn about the importance of washing their hands after using the bathroom and before eating. The childminder gives the children gentle reminders to remember to wash their hands. The childminder checks children's hands on their return to the play room when they have accessed the bathroom facilities independently. Children are learning to look after the resources and develop skills in becoming independent. They are presented with tasks, such as helping to put away the toys at tidy up time.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in relation to their starting points. They develop good skills in readiness for their future learning as they move on to school. Children build relationships with other children and confidently express their own ideas. They identify differences and similarities in quantities and sort objects by colour.
