p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder monitors children's progress using a system that helps her identify and target any small gaps in their learning. All children make good progress in relation to their starting points, including those in receipt of funded early education.  The well-qualified childminder demonstrates the characteristics of effective teaching. She encourages children to join in with discussions and to voice their thoughts and ideas. Children are motivated learners and benefit from a choice of good-quality resources.  Children have regular opportunities to enjoy outdoor play. They practise physical skills when they visit the park and enjoy outdoor obstacle courses built by the childminder.  Children are well prepared for the next stage of their learning. They learn to concentrate, follow instructions and cooperate.  Children follow the good example set by the childminder. Their behaviour is good and

they are well mannered. Children understand the childminder's expectations and boundaries. The childminder has appropriately high expectations of children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not routinely gather detailed information from parents about their children's existing skills and knowledge when they first attend. As a result, children's initial assessments sometimes lack precision and depth.  The childminder does not always successfully encourage parents to contribute their views of her service to help her prioritise ongoing improvements to the provision.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

To further improve the quality of the early years provision the provider should:

p.2

What the setting needs to do to improve further

 gather more detailed information from parents about what their children know and can already do when they first attend, and include this information in initial assessments of children's skills and abilities  consider more ways to encourage parents to regularly contribute their views and ideas to the process of self-evaluation to help raise the overall quality and standards to an even higher level.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector checked evidence of the suitability of all adults living on the premises.  The inspector looked at a sample of the childminder's documentation, including her policies, training certificates and a selection of children's learning records.  The inspector observed a planned activity and jointly discussed the intentions and learning outcomes of this with the childminder.  The inspector observed the daily routines and children's activities indoors and outside. She spoke with children at appropriate times throughout the inspection.  The inspector discussed with the childminder her plans for continued professional development and her process of self-evaluation.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows what to do in the event that she has concerns for a child's welfare. Regular risk assessments help her to identify and minimise potential risks to children's safety. Children are relaxed and demonstrate that they feel safe and secure in the childminder's home. The childminder works in partnership with other settings that share the care and education of children with her. She provides them with information about children's learning and development and benefits from professional discussions with key members of staff. The childminder continually updates her knowledge and understanding through a scheme of professional development and training. This means that children benefit from her up-to-date knowledge.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses skilful questioning as a strategy to help her extend children's thinking skills. She is animated and enthusiastic in her manner and children respond with a charming eagerness to learn. Children are motivated to explore, investigate and use their imagination. They laugh and giggle as they pick daisies in the childminder's garden. Children count the flowers with the childminder as they place them carefully in water. The childminder provides ample opportunities to help extend children's growing knowledge of literacy. They listen avidly to stories read to them by the childminder and talk about the characters in the book. Children sing nursery rhymes together and talk about their families. This stimulating and interesting interaction contributes to children's growing knowledge of vocabulary and helps extend their social skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have regular opportunities to enjoy outdoor play. Children benefit from nutritious snacks, such as fruit. Their emotional well-being is supported by the warm and nurturing manner demonstrated towards them by the childminder. Children's self-esteem is promoted through positive interactions and close attachments to the childminder. She praises and encourages children to 'have a go' during activities. The childminder diligently attends to children's care needs. For example, she applies sun cream to help protect children's skin as they play outside.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make friends, play cooperatively and learn to share and be kind. They try new things and develop the skills they need for future independence. Older children use the toilet unaided, wash their hands and learn to put on their own coats and shoes. They learn to recognise their own written name and develop an awareness of quantity, shape and colours. Children are self-assured individuals and confident communicators.
