This provision is good

 The childminder reflects on the quality of the setting with her co-childminder. She has addressed the recommendations for improvement raised at her last inspection. For example, she now gathers information from parents when children first start at the setting. This helps her to make an accurate assessment of children's knowledge and skills.  The childminder closely monitors the progress that children make. She observes them in play and plans activities to support what they need to learn next. For example, she motivates babies to walk independently using resources that they are interested in. This supports children to make good progress.  Relationships are strong between the childminder, the co-childminder and the assistant. These provide a good role model for children. They are settled and happy in the setting.  The childminder has created a welcoming and stimulating environment outdoors. Children enjoy using their imaginations as they play in the summerhouse, climb up the

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector completed an evaluation of an activity with the childminder and had discussions at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector looked at a range of documents, such as children's observations and assessments and a sample of policies and procedures. The inspector discussed self- evaluation with the childminder.  The inspector spoke to children during the inspection and took account of their views.  The inspector took account of parents' views received via email.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder enjoys completing training courses online. This helps to update and improve her knowledge and practice. For example, she learns about the importance of health, exercise and nutrition for children. She regularly gathers parents' views, such as through questionnaires, to help evaluate the quality of the setting. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands what action to take if she has concerns about a child's welfare. She can recognise signs and symptoms of abuse. She identifies and removes any possible risks to children. For example, her assistant checks the outdoor area thoroughly before children go outside. The childminder shares key information with the co-childminder and the assistant to help promote consistency in their care and practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder keeps parents informed about their children's development, including through their portfolios and daily discussions. Parents are complimentary about the setting. For example, one comments, 'There are different planned activities to challenge the children's minds'. Babies enjoy exploring a range of items in a sensory box, such as shiny materials and different colours of plastic. The childminder challenges children to match numbers and shapes, using pictures inside pots with matching lids. This helps to promote children's mathematical skills well. The childminder models the sounds that different letters make and suggests different words that could start with that sound. This helps children to develop key skills for school, such as reading and writing.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. The childminder praises children for their achievements, for example, babies copy the childminder clapping as she says, 'Well done' and they start to smile. Children are encouraged to become independent, such as learning how to feed themselves at mealtimes and wash their hands. Older children enjoy being with younger children, for example, they sing songs to them as they wait for lunch to be served. This helps to foster children's personal, social and emotional development effectively.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are working in line with expectations for their age. They develop friendships and grow in confidence during their time in the setting. They show good concentration during activities, for example, they persevere to knock wooden pegs into a board. They enjoy listening to stories and move their bodies to the rhythm of the song. They are imaginative and keen to try new activities.
