She supports them with their observational writing skills, helping them to link key areas of learning. This helps them to progress children's learning and development well.  The childminder teaches children to speak out and share their views. They talk with the childminder and her assistants about the activities with which they wish to play, helping them develop language skills.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the childminder does not teach children about healthy lifestyles and the effect food and drink has on their bodies.  Assessments of children's progress are not refined enough to help the childminder to fine tune her tracking to help to show the exact progress children are making towards the early learning goals.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of the procedures to take if she has any concerns regarding children's welfare. She also makes sure her assistants keep up to date with any changes to legislation, helping to keep children safe. The childminder has worked on actions raised at her last inspection, improving her practice and outcomes for children. Recent training has helped the childminder and her assistants complete detailed observations of children during play, helping them to identify their next steps of learning. This helps them to progress children's learning and development successfully.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder works closely with parents to gather children's starting points and interests. She uses this information alongside her knowledge of child development to plan enjoyable activities. This helps children to remain focused as they learn. Children stay engrossed at role-play activities. The childminder and her assistant teach children about their own safety. During role play, children explain they cannot touch the oven as it is hot. This helps to show what children are learning. Children thoroughly enjoying reading. The childminder and her assistant change their voices as they read to make it enjoyable for children. Children eagerly recite parts of the stories they know, helping to develop their language and literacy skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder works closely with parents, gathering their views on the practice in the setting. Parents share how they are toilet training their children and the childminder uses this knowledge to make sure she provides continuity of care for them. The childminder and her assistants are consistent in their approach to behaviour management. They teach children the importance of taking turns and working together using resources. Children behave well. Children safely move around the outside spaces being mindful of each other. This supports children's behaviour management.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are prepared well for the next stage of their learning and development and subsequent move to school. The children develop good physical skills. They learn how to control footballs and develop their balance as they run and kick the balls. Children problem solve well. They learn which surface is best to ride their scooters on, helping them to develop their mathematical and their physical skills. Children develop good literacy skills. When they need their drinks they 'read' the labels and explain to the childminder that the cup has a little 'd' for the child's name.
