This provision is good

n The childminder has successfully addressed the actions and recommendations raised at the previous inspection. For example, she has implemented a system to help her to identify gaps in children's learning, and plans appropriate activities to support children to make good progress. n The childminder shares information with parents about their children's learning and development. This helps to support a strong collaborative approach to children's care. Parents are complimentary about the service the childminder provides. n Children have many opportunities to extend their social skills and confidence. For instance, they attend playgroups in the local community and go on regular outings with the childminder. n The childminder supports children to develop good language skills from a young age. She listens carefully to what children say and repeats words to help their understanding and pronunciation skills.

This provision is good

n Children build strong bonds with the childminder and all members of her family. They demonstrate that they feel very happy and emotionally secure in her care. n Although the childminder has improved her knowledge since the last inspection, she has not considered all ways in which she can precisely enhance her programme of continuous professional development to an outstanding level. n The childminder has not yet fully established partnerships with other settings that children attend to establish a joint approach to their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder implements robust policies and procedures to underpin her good safeguarding practice. She understands her responsibility to promote children's safety and knows the procedure to follow if she has a concern about a child's welfare. The childminder has improved her provision since her last inspection, which has had a positive impact on her practice. For example, she has notified Ofsted of all persons living in the household and she maintains correct adult-to- child ratios at all times to support children's well-being. The childminder adapts her practice on a daily basis to ensure that the needs of children are fully met. She obtains feedback from parents and children and holds daily discussions to ensure she continues to sustain improvement. The childminder meets with other childminders on occasions, which enables her to share ideas and suggestions overall.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children develop a love for books and often seek the childminder's engagement. The childminder skilfully reads stories to children and uses props to encourage their involvement. She speaks slowly and clearly to help their understanding. The childminder supports children to learn early mathematical skills and use mathematical language. For example, as children build towers with blocks, they are encouraged to count and discuss colours and sizes. Children develop their early writing skills as they confidently use chalks to draw on an easel. The childminder interacts well with children and times her interventions effectively. She gets down to their level and plays alongside them. For example, the childminder supports children as they develop their skills in technology when playing games on a tablet computer.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Effective settling-in practices are implemented. The childminder gathers relevant information from parents to ensure that she knows children's individual needs prior to them starting. She provides an environment where children can choose from a range of good-quality resources independently. The childminder often praises children for their achievements to build on their motivation to learn and self-esteem. This contributes towards children's good behaviour. Healthy meals are planned to meet children's individual dietary requirements successfully. Children learn to plant and grow vegetables, which are added to their menu. This helps children's understanding of where food comes from.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children demonstrate positive attitudes towards learning to contribute to the good progress they make. They demonstrate their good knowledge of songs and actions, which help to support their physical skills and literacy development. Children thoroughly enjoy opportunities to initiate their own play and they do this with confidence. They are prepared well for their next stage in learning and, when the time comes, to move on to school.
