The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder provides a welcoming and child-friendly environment. Children have strong bonds with the childminder and are happy, relaxed and settled, which supports their well-being effectively.  Good partnerships with parents, regular sharing of information and a joined-up approach to children's learning and development help to promote continuity of care, which has a positive impact on the children.  Children are protected well as the childminder has a good understanding of her role and responsibility to safeguard children. Potential risks within the home and garden are minimised, enabling children to play in a safe and secure environment.  The childminder supports children's developing language skills well. She encourages children to sing rhymes, which they thoroughly enjoy and do with confidence.  The childminder effectively manages the work of her assistant, and makes sure that she understands her role and responsibilities.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always take all opportunities to increase children's early literacy skills, for example, by linking sounds with letters during activities.  The childminder does not provide as many opportunities for children to learn by using all their senses, for example, by making natural resources and materials easily available to use during their play.

who attend. This is good

The quality of teaching is good. The childminder observes and assesses children regularly to identify the progress they make. She knows the children well and supports their independence, preparing them well for school. For example, when children arrive, they confidently take off their shoes and put on slippers. Children settle quickly in their chosen play and explore the play food and electronic barbecue. The childminder interacts with children effectively and helps them develop interest in numbers and colours. She promotes children's literacy skills; she ensures that books are freely accessible to children and enables them to see and use written words displayed around the environment. However, during some activities, the childminder does not always extend their early literacy skills, for example, by encouraging them to link sounds with letters. Children develop their physical skills as they complete puzzles. They show determination and good levels of

concentration as they persist with the puzzle until it is completed. The childminder talks to the children about the picture they can see and they excitedly talk about the brown dog with pink ears. Children use a good range of plastic and electronic resources. However, they have fewer chances to explore a range of natural resources to stimulate their senses further.

good

The childminder organises her space and resources well, which supports children's growing independence. Children are happy, relaxed and engage happily in their play. Children form strong bonds with the childminder and happily involve her in their play. The childminder is kind, caring and consistent in her behaviour management, and gently reminds children about sharing and taking turns. Children listen carefully to instructions they are given and get lots of praise when they follow them correctly. This helps children to learn about fair play and what is expected from them, from a young age. Children learn about healthy lifestyles through discussions about healthy food and having balanced and nutritious meals.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a full set of written policies and procedures that effectively underpin her practice. The childminder evaluates her practice and involves parents in this process. Parents have completed questionnaires, all of which are very positive. The childminder keeps development records on the children and checks their progress regularly. Any concerns are quickly identified and addressed in conjunction with parents. She sets clear targets for future learning and agrees these with parents. As a result, children make good progress in all areas and parents can extend learning at home. The childminder attends courses to keep herself updated which has a positive impact on children's learning.
