p.1

The provision is good

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good, broad understanding of safeguarding and the procedures to follow should she have a concern about a child in her care. The childminder has completed a wide range of training since her last inspection to improve her knowledge and benefit the children. The childminder has robustly evaluated her service, taking into account feedback from the children and their parents. Consequently, she has made significant improvements to the learning environment to stimulate children's interest and meet their individual care and learning needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, the childminder accurately assesses children's progress from their observed starting points and uses this information to help her plan what they need to learn next. She gets to know the children very well and, consequently, builds on their individual interests and developmental needs. The childminder is good at following the children's lead and adapting activities to reflect on the next steps in their learning. When they show an interest in the water play, the childminder adapts the activity, focusing on letter recognition. Children find letters in the water before moving on to practise writing their name. Despite completing a progress report when children are aged between two and three years, the childminder does not provide a clear summary of children's progress for parents. The childminder supports children's communication and language development very well. She continuously holds interesting conversations with the children and

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder forms close bonds with children which help them to feel safe and secure in her care. She follows parents' wishes regarding routines and supervises children closely to ensure their safety. The childminder helps children to move confidently around the environment and promotes their independence to prepare them for the next stage in their learning. She constantly praises them and is a good role model for children to learn from. Although the childminder provides a healthy range of food and snacks, she does not always provide enough opportunities to help children explore why it is important to eat healthy food or participate in exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development based on their individual starting points. Children are enthusiastic and inquisitive learners and proudly show what they know during their play. Children's mathematical development is supported through everyday routines with constant counting and discussions about when objects are bigger or smaller. The childminder demonstrates that children are well prepared for starting school. She ensures children know about their new learning environment and are physically ready, helping them to learn how to put on their clothes and behave appropriately.
