p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder provides a very caring and nurturing environment. Children have good bonds with the childminder and they are happy and secure. n Partnerships with parents are good. Information is shared consistently on their children's achievements and they are involved in the next stages in their learning. Children make good progress. n The childminder uses her process of evaluation successfully. She captures the views of parents and children to help her to identify areas for improvement and to make meaningful changes. n Children are confident and show a determination in completing tasks by themselves. For instance, as they build tall towers and learn to balance the coloured blocks. n The childminder gathers lots of information when children first start. She also precisely monitors their development to quickly identify gaps in their learning and provide additional support if required. n Children enjoy many outings outdoors and in the garden to help promote their physical

development and help them to stay fit and healthy.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n The organisation of the resources does not fully support children to be able to independently access what they want to use to help them make choices in their own play and learning. n The childminder does not always provide older children with consistent explanations to help them to learn about the importance of not interrupting other children at play.

Inspection activities n The inspector had a tour of the areas used for the childminding provision. The inspector also spoke directly with a parent and took into account their views and opinions. n The inspector sampled a range of documentation, including suitability checks, policies and procedures, and children's developmental records. n The inspector observed the interaction of the childminder and the children, and the impact the teaching has on their learning and development. n The inspector spoke with the childminder and children at appropriate times throughout the inspection. The inspector also discussed the arrangements for the safeguarding of children and the childminder's reporting procedures. n The inspector also spoke to the childminder about her professional development and how she evaluates her provision.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is vigilant in the protection of children in her care. She can confidently explain how to identify potential sign of abuse and the procedures she would follow to report any concerns. The childminder plans well for her own professional development. For instance, a recent safeguarding refresher course helps her to keep her knowledge precise and up to date. The childminder has worked well towards the recommendations from her last inspection. For instance, she now gives children lots of time to respond to questions asked of them. In addition, she enters into pertinent conversations with them about the many posters displayed on the walls, to help them understand that print carries meaning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder regularly observes and tracks children's progress. She uses this information to plan more challenging experiences to help them to succeed. Children explore early mathematics in their play. For instance, they display an increasing knowledge of higher numbers as they count. Children explore using simple technology to help build on their memory and recall skills. For instance, younger children repeatedly press buttons to play songs and cuddle dolls to make them giggle. The childminder helps children to build on their expanding vocabulary. For example, children enjoy using 'song gloves' to sing many tunes and quickly remember words and actions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder helps children to learn about the wider world around them, and the similarities in themselves and others. For instance, they enjoy looking at their own reflections in the mirror and pointing out their features. This also helps children to build on their self-esteem and confidence. Overall, children behave well and are kind and gentle. For example, they show a growing awareness of how to care for pets. The childminder uses her daily conversations with parents to help her adapt for children's changing routines and needs. This helps to promote their overall well-being. Children display a deep sense of belonging. For instance, they immediately seek reassurance and cuddles from the childminder if they become upset.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop well from their starting points and gain the skills they require for their future learning. They are inquisitive and engaged learners who have time to explore and investigate. They show a growing awareness in completing their own self-care needs. For instance, as they discuss using the timer for brushing their teeth. Younger children copy and try new things that they see other children doing.
