p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder works well with other professionals involved in a child's care. For example, she receives coaching from and works well with the local school and nursery that children also attend. In order to provide a consistent approach to children's learning, the childminder has commenced letter and sound training. This will help her support children to develop their early reading and writing skills. n The childminder collects detailed information about a child when they first start at the setting. She uses this information to assess their age and stage of development and to plan activities incorporating their needs and interests. Children make good rates of progress from their starting points and any gaps in learning are swiftly identified. n Children's behaviour is good. The childminder models her expectation well through her nurturing and caring approach. Children are happy and settled. n The childminder plans the learning environment well. Children independently select

resources and use these during play. For example, children imitate the childminder as she completes care routines. They engage in role play, changing their dolls' nappies, dressing and feeding them using bottles.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n On occasions, the childminder does not give children enough time to complete activities in which they are still engaged and focused on, before she moves them along to the next activity.

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and assessed the impact this had on children's learning. n The inspector had discussions with the childminder and children throughout the inspection. n The inspector observed all areas of the premises that children access. n The inspector reviewed relevant records and evidence of the suitability of all those living and working on the premises. The inspector discussed children's learning, assessments and planning with the childminder and her methods of self-evaluation. n The inspector reviewed written feedback from parents and considered their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder organises her setting well. She carries out detailed risk assessments, which help to ensure the premises are safe and suitable for children. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her responsibilities and the procedures to follow should she have a concern about a child's welfare. She attends regular safeguarding training to ensure her policies and procedures meet current requirements. The childminder evaluates the quality of her setting effectively. She regularly seeks parents' and children's views and uses their feedback in her improvement plans. Children help to plan activities and share ideas about what they would like to learn next. The childminder incorporates their ideas into her provision plans and includes their individual next step learning targets. Children are engaged well and focused in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder focuses on developing children's communication and language skills as a priority. Children read stories with the childminder and share ideas for what might happen next. Children repeat key phrases from the story and talk about the characters. They develop their mathematical skills, for instance, as they count and add pom-poms during water play. They learn how to measure and compare how much water they have in their beakers. The childminder uses good questioning skills and extends children's vocabulary, encouraging them to consider if their beaker is full, half full or empty. The childminder keeps parents well informed about their child's learning and shares photographs, observations and assessments. Together, they plan next step learning targets. The childminder sends newsletters to parents each term to keep them informed about what children will be learning at the setting and the outings they will be taking in

the local community. This provides opportunities for parents to continue their child's learning at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder forms strong bonds with children, which helps them to settle quickly. Children learn how to share, take turns and cooperate during play. Younger children learn how to communicate effectively and the childminder encourages them to say 'please' and 'thank you'. Children develop an understanding of the different people in their community as they access playgroups and take regular outings in the local area. Children have opportunities to develop their physical skills outdoors and on the journey to school. They develop their independence through daily routines, such as washing their hands before eating. The childminder provides healthy snacks and meals for children and discusses with them why it is important to eat fresh fruits and vegetables. This helps children to develop an understanding of how to keep themselves healthy.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good rates of progress according to their stage of development. Children enjoy completing number puzzles with the childminder. Younger children begin to recognise number symbols and values from one to five. Older children begin to order numbers from one to twenty. Children are well prepared for their eventual move on to school.
