p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder is a very positive role model. She is very warm, kind and sensitive. She responds quickly to children's needs, such as when they are tired or hungry.  Children develop very secure language skills. They learn to speak and express their needs well, and make choices independently to control their own learning.  Partnerships with parents and other professionals involved in children's care are effective. For example, the childminder works with them to manage children's behaviour consistently and develop a shared approach to supporting children's communication skills.  Self-evaluation is effective. The childminder frequently reflects on her practice and plans for improvement, which helps her continue to provide good outcomes for children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not consistently make the most of opportunities to help children learn and progress to the highest level.  The childminder does not consistently build on experiences to extend children's mathematical awareness further. For example, she encourages them to use their fingers to count to three, but does not challenge them to count further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to identify and report any concerns she has about children's safety and welfare. She keeps her knowledge of local child protection procedures up to date well, so she can report her concerns quickly if needed. The childminder keeps her teaching skills up to date, such as completing regular courses and researching online for new activity ideas, such as for Mother's Day. Since the last inspection, the childminder has made positive improvements, such as building partnerships with other providers and working more closely with parents, which benefits children's all-round learning and development needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children in her care well. She gathers relevant information about them before they start, which she uses effectively to support their learning and welfare needs. For example, she aims to follow babies' routines as closely as possible. She regularly observes children in their play and organises activities they enjoy. For example, knowing children's favourite books, she encourages them to listen to her read as they relax. The childminder monitors children's progress effectively and constantly shares this information with parents. Overall, the childminder interacts well with children and provides learning experiences that are enjoyable, helping children to be motivated and interested to learn.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very happy and settle quickly with the childminder. They confidently explore the play spaces and seek help from her, if needed. Children develop very competent physical skills. Babies learn to crawl and use equipment to help them stand, while older children enjoy running and being energetic in the outdoors. The childminder encourages children to develop a good understanding of healthy lifestyles. She encourages them to follow good hygiene practices, such as washing hands after toileting, and to eat healthy snacks, such as fruit. Children relish the praise and recognition given by the childminder, which helps them to build good self-esteem and well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in relation to their starting points. They learn to be kind towards others, such as ensuring the childminder has a drink when they do. Children use a range of materials and learn to be creative. They use brushes with paint to make pictures, build good hand-to-eye coordination and use their hands to feel the texture of sand. Children benefit from opportunities to build their literacy skills, such as sounding out letters at the beginning of words, which builds very early reading skills. Children enjoy a range of activities across all areas of learning. They develop skills to prepare them for their next stage of learning and eventual move to school.
