The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Partnerships with parents are strong. The childminder communicates effectively with parents so that they are fully aware of their children's progress. She actively involves parents in their children's learning and this shared approach supports their children's needs well.  The childminder has a clear understanding of safeguarding issues and is aware of the procedures to follow if she has concerns about a child. She attends training and understands how to report concerns to appropriate agencies. Children are safe from harm due to these robust processes.  The childminder makes close bonds with the children. She helps them to feel safe with her kind and gentle approach. Children learn to develop emotional security that helps them to grow in confidence, independence and motivation to learn.  The childminder is reflective about her practice and includes parents in this process. She clearly identifies her strengths and weaknesses, and sets out areas for

development. This demonstrates a positive attitude to drive improvement.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, the childminder teaches children beyond their understanding and stages of development. This means that younger children lose interest and do not always fully understand the conversation or concepts.  The childminder does not work effectively in partnership with other early years settings that children attend to promote continuity in children's learning.

who attend. This is good

The childminder is experienced and clearly understands children's developmental stages. She uses her observations of their interests to plan related activities that purposefully promote their learning. Teaching is good. The childminder uses her notes, daily diaries and discussions with parents to assess children's ongoing progress. She demonstrates a solid knowledge of the children she cares for. Her monitoring of their development ensures that she is able to plan for children's emerging interests and changing abilities. The childminder successfully extends children's play by posing questions and promoting their language development. For example, outside, children enjoyed a sensory activity; they talked to each other, learned to count and used their fine-motor skills. The childminder uses careful planning to make certain there are many opportunities for learning through daily tasks. These early skills help children develop confidence for future

learning, like starting school or attending other settings.

p.3

good

The childminder is very calm and caring. She provides a warm and homely environment. She sits on the floor with the children, staying close to them, and engaging and cooperating in their play. Children learn about healthy eating; they help to cut up fruit for their snacks. They learn how to handle a knife correctly and keep themselves safe. The childminder encourages children to use good manners, reinforcing good social habits. Children behave well because the childminder is consistent in her behaviour management approach. She has house rules and children learn expectations through routines and her positive support. Children build positive relationships with other children during visits to local groups with the childminder. They benefit from outdoor play in the garden and local parks. This supports their physical development as well as increasing their awareness of the local community and wider world. Children take part in celebrating festivals from

around the world with the childminder, and access resources that increase their understanding and respect of diversity.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a good understanding of the learning and development requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She has effective systems to ensure she can easily identify gaps in children's learning and plan to close them. She stays up to date with current thinking and attends training regularly. Working together with other childminders and professionals means that the childminder is proactive in exchanging good practice. This has a positive impact on children's learning and development as she refreshes her knowledge. Her links with other agencies support continuity of care for children.
