p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder observes children's progress and understands the significance of aspects of this in relation to children's learning outcomes. This helps her to measure their progress accurately. The childminder uses this information to plan focused next steps for children so that they make good progress.  The childminder forms good partnerships with parents. She tells them about their children's progress and guides them in supporting their children's learning and development at home. The childminder obtains initial information from parents about what children know and can do to help her establish clear starting points.  Children develop confidence and good self-esteem. They enjoy interacting with the childminder and show that they are relaxed and happy in her care. For example, when they want to sit on her lap to look at a book. Children enjoy healthy meals and snacks and daily outdoor play.  The childminder reflects on her provision well and identifies areas for improvement to

increase children's learning experiences. She keeps up to date with her continuous professional development to maintain her good-quality teaching and to meet children's individual learning needs.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not consistently provide children with opportunities to recognise and value similarities and differences between their own and others' backgrounds and experiences.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector completed an evaluation of an activity with the childminder.  The inspector held discussions with the childminder. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons living in the household.  The inspector spoke with the children during the inspection.  The inspector took account of the views of parents through written feedback provided.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder builds effective partnerships with other early years professionals. This helps her to monitor the quality of her provision. She shares ideas and best practice with other local childminders. The childminder exchanges information about children's learning and well-being with the staff of other settings children attend. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of how to identify and report a concern about a child's welfare. She implements rigorous procedures to help protect children, and she supervises them vigilantly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder makes good use of opportunities to help children to count and understand quantity. For example, they hunt for pretend eggs and place them in an egg box. The childminder asks children if they can count how many they have and how many they think are missing. They know this, as there is one empty space in the egg box. The childminder teaches children to recognise written numbers, such as on a clock in a book they look at together. She engages children's interests very well and talks to them about the jigsaws they enjoy doing, and they settle to do these. The childminder challenges children's thinking well. For example, when they see '12o'clock' in the book, she asks them what they do at this time and gives them clues, saying it is to do with their tummies, until children remember this is lunchtime. The childminder models what children may like to do in the role play shop. She encourages them to repeat words that each character might

say, and helps them to develop their imagination as they pretend to be the shopkeeper and customer. This helps to encourage children to develop their language well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder helps children understand the need to share the toys and resources. For example, she makes space on the table for each child to do their sticking activity, so they are not trying to use one area of the table at the same time. The childminder encourages children to share the glue sticks and pictures, through her calm and effective intervention. She meets all children's needs well, such as when she asks if they would like a snack, or when she helps them to pull their socks up. The childminder makes sure children increase their independence in readiness for nursery and school. They learn to dress themselves and use the bathroom and are well prepared for their move.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for the next stages in their learning. They concentrate very well on a range of activities and are very engaged in their play. For example, they look at photographs of people in their own, and the childminder's family carefully and stick them onto a paper background. They follow the childminder's instructions very well, such as at tidy-up time and to find the plates and spoons they need at lunchtime.
