The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The quality of teaching is outstanding because the childminder and her assistants are highly skilled and work extremely well together. They help children to make rapid progress in their development.  Children show high levels of independence and concentration as they choose from the wealth of high quality resources which are easily accessible.  Children understand how to behave and ensure that they play happily, share and take turns. Staff praise and encourage this good behaviour  Qualified and experienced staff act as mentors to those less qualified and provide good role models. This has a positive impact on staff practice and the quality of interaction to support children's learning throughout the setting.  Effective partnerships established with other settings ensure that the childminder maintains continuity for children's learning and care.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always update staff on safeguarding issues relating to themselves. As a result, not all staff are able to explain safeguarding procedures fully.

who attend. This is outstanding

The childminder has an excellent range of resources and encourages children to make independent choices in their play and learning. Older children enjoy playing lotto games, where they match colours and shapes, which promotes their mathematical development. The very high expectations of the childminder and her assistant are demonstrated by the effective way that they use practical observation and assessment procedures to support children's learning and development. Children develop the early skills for reading and writing in preparation for school, as they choose toys from labelled drawers and storage boxes. This enables them to recognise words and letters and make links with the contents.

good

Children are well cared for in a safe, well-maintained and attractively presented environment. New children settle quickly as the childminder and her assistants support them extremely well. Parents have commented that the standard of cleanliness is excellent. They know children are in good hands and that each child is treated as an individual. The childminder provides nutritious, freshly-cooked meals, which meet all cultural requirements and take into account any allergies children may have. All children greatly enjoy physical activity and a wealth of play opportunities and experiences in the garden. The childminder uses gentle reminders to ensure children keep themselves safe. For example, when children play on cars and trikes they learn the need to stop and then go. In addition, the childminder displays an impressive number of signs which contribute to children's knowledge and understanding of road safety.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a good understanding of her responsibilities to meet the Early Years Foundation Stage requirements. She implements her policies and procedures well. the childminder has a good understanding of safeguarding and child protection issues to help her keep children safe and secure. Self-evaluation is effective and ongoing as the childminder continually reflects on her practice. She uses information from her assessments and observations to plan sharply focused next steps in learning to move each child forward. Parents are highly complementary and are happy with the care and teaching the childminder provides.
