p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder communicates well with parents. This effectively supports continuity of care and helps parents know how to continue their child's learning at home. n All children make good progress in their learning and development. They develop skills that will help them become more independent in the future. Children confidently express their needs and feelings to the childminder. n The childminder demonstrates the characteristics of effective teaching well. She uses skilful questioning as one strategy to help her support children's language and communication development. n The childminder promotes children's self-esteem well. She praises and encourages children to join in with group activities and she is nurturing in her manner.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Although the childminder monitors the progress of children's learning and development, her arrangements are not yet precise enough to help children make rapid progress. n At times, the childminder in her enthusiasm, moves children on too quickly during their play. This does not consistently allow them sufficient time to finish their chosen activity.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder updates her child protection knowledge regularly. She ensures all her documents, including policies and procedures, reflect the latest requirements. She is alert to any signs that may indicate a child protection concern and knows how to make a referral if a child is at risk of harm. The childminder uses risk assessments well to identify and minimise any potential hazards. This helps to ensure children play in a safe and secure environment. The childminder regularly reflects on her practice and seeks the views of parents. Since her previous inspection, she has made improvements to ensure children can independently choose resources. The childminder keeps her childcare knowledge up to date. For example, she completes all mandatory training and has discussions with other childminders to share good practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder observes children from when they first join the setting. Parents contribute to initial assessments and share information abut children's home life with the childminder. The childminder plans a range of suitably challenging activities based on children's interests and what they need to learn next. She shares her time equally between all children in her care. This helps to ensure all children benefit from the quality of teaching she provides. The childminder supports children's communication and language well. For example, when reading a story or listening to songs, the childminder clearly repeats what children have said and extends their vocabulary. The childminder helps children to learn about number and colour. For example, when playing a game of bouncing a ball she calls out the number of bounces and the colour of the ball.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children form a secure emotional bond with the childminder. They are happy and settle quickly into the childminder's home. Children have a good understanding of the routine of the day. They enjoy daily outdoor play. Children practice their physical skills when they visit local parks and use ride-on toys in the childminder's garden. Children play nicely together and behave well. The childminder gives clear rules and expectations for behaviour. She sensitively helps children to learn how to share, take turns and instils positive values in them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and develop the skills they need in readiness for pre-school or school. They are actively involved and motivated in their learning. Children are confident, happy and seek out others to share experiences with.
