This provision is good

 The childminder has made strong progress since the last inspection and evaluates her practice well. For example, she has improved her observations and assessments of children to help her to plan effectively for the next steps in children's learning. She accurately completes the required progress check for children aged between two and three years. This helps improve outcomes for children.  Since the last inspection, the childminder has strengthened her communication with parents and other professionals who share care of children. This provides good continuity in children's care and learning.  The childminder provides a variety of stimulating activities and resources. She engages well with children and her effective teaching methods support their learning well.  Children are happy and show they feel secure in the childminder's care. The childminder knows children well and meets their emotional needs effectively. She

responds quickly to young children's care needs to ensure they remain comfortable and settled.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasions, the childminder does not consistently make the most of opportunities to help children develop a deeper understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, the impact of healthy food and good hygiene on good health.  At times, the childminder does not fully extend opportunities for children to learn about and explore the natural world and living things.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed teaching practices and children's learning experiences, indoors and outdoors.  The inspector viewed documentation, including self-evaluation and a sample of children's development records.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the childminder.  The inspector held discussions with the childminder and spoke to children as part of the inspection.  The inspector took account of parents' written comments.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder attends child protection training to ensure her knowledge is kept up to date. She is aware of how to protect children in her care and the procedures to follow if she has concerns about children's welfare. The childminder demonstrates a commitment to continued improvement. For example, she meets with other childminders and makes use of feedback from early years advisers as part of her professional development. This helps improve outcomes for children and reflects in the good service she provides. The childminder shares information with parents about children's development to help keep them up to date with their progress. Feedback from parents indicates they are happy with the care and support their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a welcoming environment and good opportunities for children to be independent. For example, children enjoy choosing resources, which are easily accessible to them. The childminder is skilled in developing children's learning and talks to children as they play. She introduces new words to develop their vocabulary and asks questions to encourage them to think. For example, during a water play activity, children learn that different shape containers hold the same amount of water. They use mathematical language as they talk about capacity, size and position. Younger children enjoy sensory experiences, such as playing with sand, water and pasta. They play imaginatively, as they move small vehicles through pasta and listen to sounds this makes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children learn to develop respect and understanding of others. For example, they take part in activities to help them learn about different cultures and beliefs. Children enjoy fresh air and exercise. They have frequent opportunities for outdoor play and to develop their physical skills. For example, they use large apparatus in the childminder's garden and take trips out to groups and parks. Children enjoy healthy snacks and packed lunches. Drinking water is accessible to help children stay hydrated throughout the day.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including children who speak English as an additional language, make good progress in relation to their starting points. Children engage well in activities and are motivated to learn. They confidently talk about their ideas during imaginative play. Children behave well and understand routines. Older children show great kindness to younger children. For example, they show them how to do things and involve them in their play. Children gain the skills they require for the next stage in their learning, including their eventual move to school.
