p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder uses her good knowledge of children's individual needs to help them make good progress from their starting points. She supports children well during their play. She shows children how to use the resources and gives them time to achieve this on their own.  Children are happy and settled. The childminder develops close caring relationships with children. She supports children to form friendships and develop good social skills. Children spontaneously tell the childminder they love her and enjoy having a cuddle.  The childminder develops children's understanding of the world effectively. Children enjoy watching the activity of birds through a live camera connection to a bird box in the childminder's garden. Children talk about the birds and learn they are making nests.  The childminder evaluates and continually improves her good teaching practice. She uses knowledge gained from training to improve how she gains children's cooperation.

p.1

This provision is good

She now looks at children's behaviour from their point of view and responds to how they feel. All children behave well and learn to share the resources.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Sometimes, the childminder misses opportunities to encourage younger children to talk and widen their vocabulary.  The childminder does not consistently work effectively with parents to support children's self-care skills further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of child protection procedures. She attends local authority safeguarding training which supports her understanding of how to keep children safe. The childminder has improved the information she seeks from parents about children's starting points. She uses this information to accurately assess and promote children's development. Since the last inspection, the childminder has improved the opportunities for parents to share their views about their children's learning; for example, through daily discussion and contributing to records of children's progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder challenges and extends children's learning and development. She has improved how she supports children's mathematical development. She teaches children to identify colours and match and sort groups of items, for example, while playing with toy cars. Younger children are beginning to learn to count. For instance, they say that the spiders they see in books have two eyes. The childminder supports children's physical development well. For instance, she uses children's interest in dancing to organise sponsored activities to help them raise money for sports charities. Younger children show kindness towards the older children. For example, they offer them resources such as rubber pigs which they use to bounce around the playroom together.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides children with a positive role model. She successfully promotes children's confidence. She makes a wide range of resources easily accessible in the well- organised playroom, which motivates children to play independently. The childminder supports children's good health. She takes children on a wide variety of outings where they engage in active physical play. For instance, they go to toddler groups, local parks, playgrounds and for walks in woodland areas. Children enjoy eating healthy snacks such as breadsticks and apples. The childminder helps children to learn about their safety. For example, she teaches children that she has to go through the garden gate first due to the road outside.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need for starting school. They concentrate well during activities. For instance, while independently looking at their favourite books and listening to stories. Older children confidently and enthusiastically engage in long conversations with adults. They develop and use a wide range of vocabulary and eagerly talk about what they remember and learn. For instance, they know that stones they throw into puddles sink and sticks float. Children learn about transport. For example, during outings they travel on trains and a hovercraft.
