p.1

This provision is good

 Partnerships with parents are good. The childminder helps them to feel valued in their children's development and in helping to set the next stages in their learning.  Children have a good bond with the childminder. They are happy and secure and she is very attentive towards their needs and requirements.  The childminder has high expectations for the children in her care. Children progress well and the childminder tracks and monitors their development closely to identify gaps in their learning and provide additional support if required.  The childminder sets out the environments thoughtfully to support the younger children in her care. For instance, children have many opportunities to use their senses in their play. They have great fun listening to the noises made by dry pasta and when they make splashes in the water tray.  The childminder helps children to make their own choices in their learning. Children

soon become independent. For example, they access all areas and resources easily to follow their interests.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not precisely plan for her own professional development to raise the quality of teaching to the highest levels.  The childminder does not consistently make the most of opportunities to support children's mathematics skills in their everyday play and learning.

Inspection activities

 The inspector toured the areas of the home used for childminding. The inspector discussed with the childminder how she uses self-evaluation to identify areas for improvement.  The inspector spoke to the childminder and children at appropriate times throughout the inspection. The inspector discussed with the childminder her arrangements and knowledge of safeguarding.  The inspector observed the interactions of the childminder and the children, indoors and outdoors and the impact this has on their learning and development.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation, including suitability checks, policies, procedures and children's developmental records.  The inspector discussed with the childminder how she plans for her own professional development. The inspector also took the views of parents into account.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to identify potential signs of abuse and the procedures she would use to report a concern to protect children's welfare. The childminder has worked well to address the recommendations from the last inspection. She now uses and captures the views and comments of parents and children in her evaluation process. The childminder uses robust risk assessments to keep children safe while at home and when on outings. She understands the importance of helping children to understand how to keep themselves safe. For instance, she helps them to learn about road safety and tidying away toys to prevent accidents.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children well. She gathers information when children first start to precisely plan for their likes and interests. She uses her observations of their learning to adapt the resources and activities she provides to help children to become enthusiastic learners. The childminder helps children to learn about simple technology in their play. For instance, children enjoy using the many interactive audio books. Children enjoy learning about nature in the world around them. They learn how to be caring and considerate. For instance, they take a great interest in the variety of birds that eat from the bird table and gently release bugs that they catch. The childminder helps children to build their growing vocabulary and communication skills. For instance, they discuss the coloured bubbles as they blow them into the sky.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder helps children to settle quickly by using the information gained when children first start. Children display a sense of belonging and strong self-esteem. For instance, the childminder constantly praises children to build their confidence. The childminder is a good role model who helps children to learn about acceptable behaviour and how to manage their own feelings. Children behave well. They are developing friendships and learn how to share and take turns.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are given lots of opportunities to develop their physical skills in their outdoor play, such as using the large-scale equipment in the garden. They are learning about the wider world around them. Children develop good problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. For example, they put together large-piece jigsaws by matching the pictures. Children are independent and motivated. They gain the necessary skills for the next stages in their learning.
