p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder provides a loving and caring environment. Children have good bonds with her and this helps them to build a sense of belonging. n The childminder has good partnerships with parents. They are kept well informed of their children's progress through daily conversation and regular reports. They are involved in planning for the next steps in their learning. n The childminder has good knowledge on how children learn. She uses her monitoring of their progress to quickly identify any potential gaps. Children progress well in their learning. n Children are engaged and inquisitive. They are learning to be independent in the choices they make. The childminder provides a good range of resources to spark children's curiosity. n Children who have English as an additional language are well supported. The childminder gains lots of information from parents when they first start and encourages children to use both languages they know in their play and learning.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Occasionally, the childminder does not provide children with enough time to explore during planned activities to help them to build on their own ideas. n The organisation of the outdoor garden area does not fully support the changing abilities of the youngest children to aid their development.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure knowledge of how she would identify potential signs of abuse and the procedures she would use to report concern's for a child's welfare. She has worked well towards the recommendations from her last inspection. For instance, she shares ideas and changes in early years guidance and practice with other professionals to help keep her knowledge up to date. The childminder understands the importance of sharing information with other settings that children attend. She uses her process of risk assessment well and is quick to adapt this for changing situations. The childminder evaluates well to make positive changes to continuously raise the overall quality of her provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder regularly observes children's learning. She uses information from her tracking to precisely plan to create further challenges. The childminder successfully helps children to build on their early literacy skills. For instance, children enjoy reading books together and using their expanding memory to recall the story. The childminder helps children to explore using their senses. For example, children have access to fine sand and they use the tools provided to make marks and patterns. The childminder helps children to build on their early mathematics. She uses the opportunities presented to count with children, such as when they use their small- muscle skills to thread coloured buttons onto laces.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. The childminder helps children to learn about how to cope with their own feelings and behaviour. Children show a growing awareness of sharing and playing well with others. The childminder helps children to learn about the wider world around them and support them to celebrate their own heritage. For instance, children enjoy looking at the large map of the world together to spot different animals and people. Children have good access to the outdoors to promote their physical development and to learn about a healthy lifestyle, such as on walks to the playground. The childminder helps children to build on their increasing vocabulary. For instance, the children enjoy singing lots of action songs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their recorded starting points. They show a growing determination in trying new things and increasing their concentration skills. Children use an array of early technology to build further on their learning. For instance, younger children repeatedly press buttons to play the same tune. Children are developing the necessary skills for the next stages in their learning.
