p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder completes thorough risk assessments to ensure the safety of children.  Children are happy and settled. They behave well as the childminder sets clear boundaries and rules, which helps them to feel safe.  The childminder promotes the children's understanding of healthy routines. For example, they understand the importance of washing hands before meals.  The childminder has established good parent partnerships. She keeps parents informed of their children's good progress and supports children well for their transition to school.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder's paediatric first-aid qualification has recently expired. However, she is booked to renew this in the very near future, so there is no impact on children.  Although the childminder monitors children's progress well overall, she does not consistently provide information to parents to give them a better understanding of their children's progress.

Inspection activities

 The inspector conducted a tour of the areas of the premises used for childminding purposes.  The inspector held discussions with children and parents.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation, including policies, procedures and children's records.  The inspector invited the childminder to take part in a joint evaluation of an activity.  The inspector spoke to the childminder about her understanding of safeguarding and welfare requirements.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge of safeguarding matters and is aware of the procedures that should be followed in the event of any concerns. The childminder has allowed her paediatric first-aid certificate to lapse. However, she has completed interim training and is booked to renew her certificate in the very near future. In addition, the childminder is confident of how to respond to children who are unwell or injured. As a result, there is no impact on children. The childminder regularly reflects on her practice to improve the setting. For example, she uses training to extend the range of activities on offer within the setting.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The setting has a range of good-quality resources to support children's development. Children are able to choose and access resources independently. The childminder works in close partnership with parents to establish children's starting points. As a result, the childminder is able to use her good teaching skills to support the children's development further. Children behave well and demonstrate good manners. For example, they say 'please' and 'thank you' when snacks and refreshments are offered.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder knows the children well and is able to meet their individual needs effectively. The children are provided with a range of healthy meals from around the world. The children are confident to complete some tasks without support. For example, before snack time the children wash and dry their hands. Children are aware of road safety. For example, they understand that they have to look left and right to see if it is safe before they cross the road.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy their time with the childminder. Children make good progress in their learning and development. They are supported well for their transition to school. They develop a good understanding of mathematics by taking part in counting and colour sorting activities. For example, they use construction blocks to sort, count in sequence and are encouraged to make predictions.
