p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder has developed good partnerships with other settings that children attend. This enables her to provide consistent and targeted support for children's learning and development. As a result, children make very good progress where there are potential gaps in their learning.  The childminder makes accurate assessments of children's learning. She uses this information well to identify what children need to learn next. She has a very well- established system to monitor children's progress to ensure they do not fall behind in their development.  The childminder is very skilful in helping children to start to understand her expectations, resolve disagreements and recognise the impact of their behaviour on others. For example, she helps children to explore their own emotions and the feelings of others.  The childminder has good partnerships with parents. From the very beginning she gathers and shares useful information. This means that parents are well informed about

their child's progress and can share relevant examples of their learning at home.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not rigorously use her action plans to prioritise improvements and clearly identify how they will be achieved and the difference they will make to children's achievements.  The childminder does not always provide enough focused support to help children develop their vocabulary, particularly the correct pronunciation of words.

p.1

What the setting needs to do to improve further

 strengthen the use of action plans to clearly identify how areas for improvement will be achieved and the impact they will have on future outcomes for children  maximise every opportunity to help children to build further on their speaking skills and develop their vocabulary.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector completed a joint evaluation of an activity with the childminder.  The inspector checked evidence of the suitability of adults living on the premises. She looked at relevant documentation, such as evidence of training.  The inspector discussed the procedures for evaluation and the priorities for improvement with the childminder.  The inspector took account of recent feedback from parents and carers.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of child protection issues and how to manage any concerns. She regularly completes training and is able to identify possible signs or indicators of different types of abuse. Overall, the childminder is dedicated to evaluating her own practice, making improvements and increasing her knowledge and skills. She encourages parents to provide feedback and suggestions on how she can improve her provision. Parents rate the childminder highly and comment on how the environment is fun. The childminder has completed a range of training courses and is continually reading, researching and gathering information and ideas. She makes good use of research and training to benefit her practice. For example, learning about how best to support play through children's interests. As a result, children now engage in play for longer periods of time.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder strongly encourages children to lead their own play. There is a good flow to the day and children naturally move from one activity to another, making purposeful decisions about what they do next. There is a good range of activities, including regular outings, to support children's learning. The childminder provides good support for learning. For example, during children's play she introduces mathematics to help them count, recognise number and estimate. Children make slime and then explore how they can manipulate it in different ways, using various toys and tools. They demonstrate they have good physical control as they write their name, paint and run in a race.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a very well-organised and stimulating learning environment for children. This includes very good opportunities for children to engage in physical play. Children love running around the field and chasing each other. Children are very adept at recognising when something is unsafe. They make relevant suggestions for how to play games safely. Children clearly understand what is expected of them and form good relationships with others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning and are developing the skills they need in preparation for school. Children are very independent and sociable. They have strong decision-making skills and are confident to suggest and initiate activities, including when they want to play in different areas of the environment. Children have good perseverance and patience. They make relevant contributions to discussions when talking about how to solve a problem.
