p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder and her co-childminder are both consistent in their approach to behaviour management. They work together to teach the children the importance of turn taking and sharing of resources. Children behave well.  The childminder has developed a close bond with the children, helping them to settle quickly and to be ready to start learning straight away.  The childminder tracks children's progress well. She works closely with her co- childminder to identify and close any gaps in children's learning.  The childminder and her co-minder review their practice together. She provides a range of activities, helping children to make good progress in their learning and development.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always share information about children's next steps with other professionals who care for them, to help promote continuity in their care and learning.  The childminder does not always make the most of opportunities to extend children's physical development.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the children in the main play areas and garden.  The inspector spoke with the childminder, her co-childminder and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector took into account the views of the parents.  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.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of child protection procedures and what steps to take if she has any concerns. The childminder keeps up to date with safeguarding training to help keep children safe. She works in good partnership with the parents and gathers their views about her service. Recent changes have been to the menus to help to make sure that children who have special dietary requirements are provided with meals that are safe for them to eat. This helps to provide good continuity of care for the children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder works closely with her co-childminder to plan enjoyable and educational activities to help children make progress in their learning and development. They work with parents to find the stages of development children have reached and to track their starting points. They then use this information effectively, alongside their knowledge of the children, to support them to make progress in their learning and development. The childminder works well with her co-childminder to assess her practice and to identify areas for improvement. She has recently changed the way she supports children's personal and social development to extend their independence skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children learn how to help keep themselves and their peers safe. For example, when using the slide, one child remembers to check and shouts 'clear' before using it. The childminder teaches the children how to problem solve. For example, when they use the seesaw, the childminder asks them where they need to sit in order for it to work properly. Children quickly respond with 'in the middle'. This helps children to learn how to use resources appropriately and supports their understanding of mathematical concepts.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for the next stage in their learning and subsequent move to school. They enjoy learning to count in enjoyable ways. For example, they count the number of bubbles they are bursting. Children develop good language skills as they discuss their favourite fruit, easily naming more-complicated sounding fruits, such as pineapple.
