p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder has significantly improved her understanding of her safeguarding responsibilities since the last inspection. She knows the procedures to follow to report any concerns for a child to protect their welfare.  Children build good relationships with the childminder. Young children go to her for reassurance and explore readily, keeping her in sight. Children are happy and settled in the childminder's home.  The childminder has improved her observations of children's development. She provides activities to build on what they know and can do. Children make good progress over time.  Children behave well. The childminder helps them to learn to play amicably together and build friendships. Young children play alongside older children as they engage in games together.  The childminder meets with other childminders to share experiences, ideas and any changes in the statutory requirements. She uses what she learns to benefit children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not currently monitor the children's ongoing progress to identify any less-obvious gaps in her teaching or children's learning.  The childminder does not give the youngest children sufficient time to process the sounds of new words, to help them copy and develop their language.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has reflected on her practice well since the last inspection, to raise the standards and outcomes for children. She knows how to keep children safe from harm. For example, she has updated her knowledge of the 'Prevent' duty guidance and implemented emergency evacuation procedures. She assesses her home for any hazards and removes these out of reach of children. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder understands the benefits of working closely with parents. She discusses their children's health and development, and suggests where to seek help from other professionals, for example, to provide additional support for any known differences in children's outcomes, if required.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder shows children how things work and encourages them to 'have a go'. Children eagerly try, for example, to press a button to make a toy clap. They persevere and, when unsuccessful, explore other ways to get the same result, by pushing the arms together. The childminder builds on children's interest in music and dancing. For example, she demonstrates how to tap out a sound on a tambourine to the rhythm of music. Children take great delight shaking and tapping, and moving their bodies to the sound of the beat. The childminder skilfully develops children's understanding of simple sentences in different ways. She instigates a ball game and gives instructions to follow, such as kick the ball. The childminder introduces new concepts during play, for example, children learn to put the car on the top so it can slide down.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides children and their families with time to settle in at her setting. For example, they visit for short sessions together until the child is happy to leave their parent for short periods. Children are curious and happily explore the resources. They develop a sense of belonging and have a close bond with the childminder. She recognises young children's signs and gestures when they are tired or require a nappy change. For example, she finds children's comforters to help them settle and strokes them gently until they fall asleep. The childminder provides children with daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise. They enjoy playing in the garden and visit parks. The childminder teaches children about what makes them unique and their differences. They learn to follow rules and keep themselves safe. For example, children practise the fire evacuation procedure.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children progress well from their starting points. Young children enjoy physical experiences, such as dancing, grasping and investigating toys, and rolling and throwing balls. Older children learn mathematical and early literacy skills. For example, they learn to count, sing nursery rhymes and listen to stories. All children enjoy visits to local playgroups where they develop social skills and make new friends with the childminder. Children play together amicably and behave well.
