p.1

This provision is good

 Partnerships with parents are good. Parents report that children are keen to attend. This helps to reassure parents about the childminder's good-quality care.  The childminder interacts well with children and joins in their chosen play effectively, supporting each child at their own level.  Children develop a close relationship with the childminder, who supports their emotional well-being effectively.  Children are keen to explore and become active and curious learners. New children settle quickly and are very confident in their new provision.  The childminder encourages children to manage their personal care needs well, such as using the toilet and washing their hands.  The childminder teaches children how to keep themselves safe. They develop a range of physical skills and learn to manage risks during their play.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not place a high enough focus on her professional development to help raise her teaching strategies for developing children's learning even further.  The vast amount of resources in the playroom is not organised and stored in a way that enables children to easily make independent choices in their play.

She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons living in the household.  The inspector spoke to children during the inspection.  The inspector took account of the views of parents through verbal and written feedback provided.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows the procedures to follow should she have concerns about any child in her care. She updates her policies and procedures to ensure that they comply with current requirements and underpin the childminder's good practice. Parents comment very positively about the childminder and how their children have come on leaps and bounds. The childminder works in close partnership with parents and other settings involved to help provide continuity in children's care and learning. She reviews her provision to identify any areas for improvement, such as developing her outdoor provision further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder interacts well with children. She prepares activities which include good learning opportunities and that children enjoy. For example, when children made play dough, she talked to them about quantity and measurement, increasing their understanding of mathematical ideas and how to solve problems. The childminder closely observes children to gain a secure understanding of their learning needs. She monitors children's progress effectively and uses this information well to help her support them in taking the next steps in their learning. For example, she offers children more opportunities to interact with others to help increase their social confidence.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder encourages children to take turns and share with one another. She teaches children to respect each other and to be kind. She manages behaviour in a firm but positive manner. She offers children praise and encouragement, helping to support children's positive self-esteem and confidence. They become increasingly aware of their own needs, such as requesting drinks when they are thirsty. The childminder ensures that children have opportunities to play outside in the garden and enjoy walks in the local environment. Children enjoy collecting leaves which they use for activities, such as creating hedgehog pictures.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy a good range of activities across all areas of learning. Children play imaginatively and learn to make sense of their world. For example, they prepare pretend tea and cake during role play. Children enjoy books and learn how to use them, such as turning the pages carefully. Children receive good support from the childminder to talk about what they see and to learn new vocabulary. Children develop good skills that prepare them well for the next stages of their learning and eventual move to school.
