p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder and her assistants effectively support children to develop very secure social skills. For example, they concentrate well during group activities and are excited to join in and take turns with their friends.  The childminder and assistants encourage children to have fun as they play. For example, they sing rhymes increasingly fast, which excites and motivates children and helps them to engage and learn.  The childminder effectively monitors assistants. She meets with them regularly to support their individual skills and practice, which helps to maintain a consistent standard of teaching and promotes good outcomes for children.  Self-evaluation is effective. The childminder seeks the views of assistants and parents to identify areas for improvement. For example, she plans to develop the outdoor area further to create interesting spaces for children to explore.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Assistants do not consistently teach children good health and hygiene procedures.  Assistants do not make good enough use of spontaneous learning experiences to extend children's mathematical awareness, particularly in relation to shapes, space or measures.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

 support assistants in making better use of opportunities to build on children's understanding of good health and hygiene practices  further develop how assistants teach children to use mathematics in everyday life, especially shapes, space and measures.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children playing independently, with friends and assistants in different learning environments.  The inspector spoke to children and assistants at appropriate times during the inspection and considered parents' views by reading testimonials written for the inspection.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the childminder, of her assistants supporting children during a routine activity.  The inspector spoke to the childminder about how she organises her setting, supports assistants and plans for children's progress.  The inspector sampled a range of documents, including assistants' training records, policies and children's development records.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder and assistants keep their knowledge and skills up to date well, which positively benefits children and secures good outcomes. For example, they have recently introduced early writing during outdoor play. The childminder supports her assistants successfully. She meets with them frequently to help identify and plan improvements to their individual practice. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistants keep their knowledge of child protection up to date. They all confidently know how to identify and report potential concerns in relation to children's safety and welfare. They have up-to- date contact numbers to report any concerns they have promptly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and assistants interact well with children. They use their good knowledge of children's interests to plan experiences they enjoy. For example, children who enjoy playing with flashcards relish the challenge of identifying pictures and to sound out letters, which helps them to build very early reading skills. The childminder completes ongoing observations and assesses children's development well, to help her identify and close any gaps in their learning. She shares this information with parents frequently, providing them the opportunity to contribute to children's overall targets.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and behave well. They follow the positive examples provided by the childminder and her staff to build good social skills. For example, they use 'please' and 'thank you' when asking for help. Children learn to be independent and complete simple tasks safely on their own, such as using a knife to cut bananas and peeling oranges. Children develop good self-esteem through frequent praise and encouragement, which motivates them to play and achieve. For example, children use ride-on toys in the garden and the childminder and her assistants praise them when they manage to move on their own.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and enjoy activities across all areas of learning. They are busy playing as soon as they arrive and they develop secure social skills, as they learn to interact with other children, such as during group time. Children build successful language and communication skills, and learn to express themselves well. For example, they use musical instruments and sing their favourite nursery rhymes. Children use a range of tools and materials to make marks. For example, they use small spades and rakes to make different patterns in sand. Children develop good physical skills. They enjoy activities that help to build their larger muscles, such as being physically active outside, as well as quieter activities that require good hand-to-eye coordination, such as being imaginative with small-world toys. Children prepare well for their next stages in learning and their eventual move to school.
