p.1

This provision is good

 Children show that they feel safe and secure in the childminder's care. They show that they are confident. They join in activities and cooperate with familiar routines which support them to be independent and make their own choices.  The childminder is calm and reassuring. She provides children with a stimulating environment, indoors and outdoors, which they explore throughout the day.  Parents feel confident in the quality of care that their children receive from the childminder. They provide the childminder with ideas and suggestions of how she can develop children's interests from home, in the setting.  Children access a wide range of opportunities to mix with other children. The childminder uses groups and activity sessions in her locality to support children's development of personal and social skills. Children make good progress in their learning.  The childminder has a very good grasp of her strengths and areas that she wants to

develop. She chooses training to support her developing knowledge and understanding in areas which are important to her and to her ongoing professional development.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder has not fully considered how she can engage parents even more in children's learning at home.  Occasionally, the childminder misses opportunities to support children to fully explore resources and activities.

 share successful strategies with parents and support children's learning and development even further in the setting and at home  give children even more opportunities to fully explore the exciting range of resources and activities that is provided for them.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector saw all parts of the home used for childminding purposes.  The inspector observed the quality of teaching inside and outside and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector looked at a range of documents, including the childminder's policies and procedures and evidence of suitability of the adult household members.  The inspector took account of the views of parents provided by written feedback.  The inspector and the childminder jointly reflected on children's learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is well qualified in her role and has completed training courses to develop her knowledge and understanding even further. For example, she can identify signs and symptoms of abuse and knows how to refer any concerns following local guidelines and statutory procedures. Risks are identified and minimised. Children are taught how to climb down the step from the grass to the patio area safely. Even though she has been registered since 2016, the childminder has only been childminding a few months. However, the level of service provided to families is of a very high quality. She has identified clear priorities and has firm aspirations for the future.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses a good range of teaching strategies. She talks to children about what they are doing and repeats key words to them, such as when they are using chalk to draw in the garden. She sings songs with repetitive words and phrases as she digs in the soil encouraging children to 'have a go'. Children develop their physical skills as they grasp and hold bottles. The childminder is patient and provides them with praise and encouragement throughout the session. For example, children use their finger and thumb to pick straws out of a bottle and enjoy the challenge of putting them back in again. The childminder introduces new words, such as 'push' and 'twist' as children try to put the lid back onto the bottle themselves. Children who are learning to walk have plenty of space to do so safely and practise their new skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is an excellent role model. She has very high standards of hygiene and cleanliness, telling the children what she is doing and why. Children's emotional well-being is carefully considered from the very first visit to the setting. The childminder personalises routines to suit the needs of individual children. She gathers lots of information from parents and this continues through daily discussions and other communication, such as the daily diary. Children demonstrate a strong attachment to the childminder, who provides them with comfort and reassurance. Children know where their belongings are and return to them if they need to. The childminder promotes healthy eating and makes suggestions as to how parents can do the same at home.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are developing good physical skills. They negotiate obstacles as they climb into the garden from indoors. They choose familiar stories to read before nap time and quickly settle down to sleep. They show care and affection for the childminder and are familiar in their environment. Children enjoy babbling and communicating their wants and needs. They are very well prepared for the next stage in their learning.
