p.1

This provision is good

 Children are motivated, by the good interaction of the childminder, to develop their play and learning experiences.  The childminder has effective strategies to meet children's individual care and learning needs, to help them make good progress in their development.  Children show they feel happy, safe and secure in an environment that is full of rich and stimulating resources.  The childminder develops effective partnership with parents to support children's continuity of care and learning.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because

 Although children have some opportunities for outdoor play, they are not able to move freely between the indoors and outdoors as they choose.  Children do not have sufficient opportunities to play freely with a wide range of materials and use their senses to explore colours, textures and space.

p.3

who attend

The childminder demonstrates a secure knowledge and understanding of the learning and development requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She seeks information from parents about children's skills and activities from the onset of the childminding arrangements to help her establish children's starting points. She plans weekly, taking into consideration children's individual developmental needs. The childminder effectively tracks children's progress and is carrying out developmental checks for children aged two years. She knows to share these with parents as required.

p.3

who attend

The childminder follows the Montessori principles of learning. Children acquire skills which support their independence, enabling them to work towards their next stage in their learning. Children self-select toys and activities, with the childminder and her assistants close by to support or extend children's play. Children thoroughly enjoy playing 'doctor and patient' and use their imagination well as they check for the childminder's heartbeat. The childminder extends this by introducing new vocabulary to promote children's communication and language skills, as she encourages them to check her ears for infection. Children visit the library, the local children's centre and the park to promote their understanding of the world about them. Although the childminder timetables some creative activities, children have fewer opportunities to use their senses to spontaneously and freely explore a wide range of

materials to learn about texture, colour and space. The childminder plans outdoor play for children to have fresh air and exercise. Children enjoy climbing, running and jumping on the various play equipment in the garden, developing their physical skills. However children are unable to move freely between indoors and outdoors, as they wish. This limits their freedom of choice and the opportunities for them to play energetically. The childminder values working with parents, keeping them up to date with their children's daily care and learning. She provides regular newsletters, emails them photographs of their child at play and holds termly meetings to discuss children's learning and progress. The childminder actively seeks the views of parents through questionnaires. These indicate that parents are very pleased with the childminding provision.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

The childminder creates a welcoming and friendly environment where children settle very well, arriving eagerly as they say goodbye to their parents and carers. Children's sense of security and confidence is flourishing. This is evident when children approach the childminder for lots of hugs and cuddles and she returns the affection. The childminder uses children's first language, alongside English, to promote their self-esteem. Children are beginning to understand what constitutes acceptable behaviour. For example, the childminder and her assistants use clear explanations and reinforce these with wall displays and pictures, reminding children about rules such as 'no running'.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

The childminder promotes children's safety well. She puts in place safety measures to prevent children from hurting themselves. For example, children are kept safe during outings as the childminder and her assistants ensure that children wear safety wrist straps and hold hands.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

The childminder promotes children's health and well-being effectively. Children's individual personal care routines are followed effectively, according to their age and stage of development. For example, the childminder supports children to understand the importance of good hygiene practices, such as washing hands, and older children learn to use the toilet independently.

p.4

provision

The childminder provides a good understanding of her responsibilities in meeting in the learning and development requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Overall, the childminder implements an interesting and varied range of activities that children enjoy. She uses observation, assessment and planning well and, as a result, children make good progress in their development.

p.4

provision

The childminder provides a rich range of attractively displayed resources that are easily accessible. Therefore, children are able to make choices and become absorbed in their play and learning. The childminder knows how to establish links with other agencies to support children's development, and close gaps in learning, should children be progressing at less than the expected level.

p.5

provision

The childminder actively takes steps to promote the welfare and safety of the children. For example, she makes sure that her assistants are suitable to work with the children and that they are aware of their responsibilities. The childminder keeps abreast of child protection issues and attends up to date training to ensure that she is able to follow the correct procedures, should concerns arise.

p.5

provision

The childminder works closely with her local childminding network to evaluate what is working well and what she could improve. She involves parents in her self-evaluation when she invites their feedback about her provision using a questionnaire. She seeks the views of children using 'tell Ollie the Owl about your childminder' to find out what activities children do and do not enjoy and she plans their activities accordingly.

p.5

provision

The childminder and her assistants attend childminding forums to listen to specialist speakers on a range of early years subjects. This supports the childminder to maintain ongoing improvements to her and her assistants' practice. The childminder meets the training needs of her and her assistants so that they are able to deliver the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage effectively.
