p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder works well with her co-childminder to evaluate her practice. For example, recent changes have been made to how she plans creative activities. Children develop more independence, helping to extend their learning and development.  Children have a strong bond with the childminder. They are eager to learn and settle quickly to play. The childminder gives the children a voice in the setting, helping them to develop their confidence in sharing their views.  The childminder provides good-quality activities, helping to support children's learning and development.  The childminder assesses how successful activities have been in supporting children's learning and reviews how she and her co-childminder can make changes to bring about better outcomes for children. This helps them to progress children's learning and development.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the childminder does not extend activities to nurture children's interests in nature and understanding of the world.  The childminder does not always share children's progress and the next steps in their learning with other professionals to help provide continuity of care for children.

Inspection activities

 The inspector spoke with the childminder, her co-childminder and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector observed the children in the main play areas and garden.  The inspector discussed with both childminders how they review their practice through observing an activity with both of them.  The inspector sampled documents, including safeguarding policies and procedures, and children's tracking.  The inspector took into account the views of the parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is fully aware of the procedures to follow if she has any safeguarding or child protection concerns. She works in close partnership with her co-childminder to keep up to date with any changes to legislation. This helps to keep children safe. The childminder works well with parents and gathers their views on her practice. For example, she ensures that the menus meet the special dietary needs of the children who attend. This helps to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder tracks children's progress, identifying the next steps in their learning. She shares this information with parents, alongside information about children's progress. This helps parents to support children's learning at home and provides good continuity of care. The childminder teaches children how to make a sun catcher using flowers. She shows them how to attach sticky-back plastic to their plates, helping to develop children's coordination skills. Children enjoy sticking the flowers onto their plates, and learn new words, such as 'top', 'shine' and 'spread around', to help develop their language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy physical activities. Younger children learn how to climb the stairs to use the slide, and older children enjoy learning how to control balls with ease. They determinedly kick the ball towards a target, showing the coordination skills they have learned. The childminder teaches children the importance of sharing and turn taking. Children happily play alongside each other and behave well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and are prepared well for the next stage of their learning and development. Children enjoy learning how to control paintbrushes to make patterns. They describe the colours they are using and talk about how to mix colours to paint a frog. Children are skilled at identifying the new colours they have made. This helps to support their language and creative development.
