p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder has a secure knowledge of how to keep children safe.  Children build secure relationships with the childminder and show they are settled in her home.  The childminder uses a range of teaching techniques, activities and resources to help children make good progress in their development and learning.  The childminder has established effective partnerships with parents. She understands the benefits of working with parents and other professionals to support and provide children with consistent and quality learning experiences.  Children have good opportunities to explore the world in which they live, to learn about nature and to develop their physical skills.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always make the most of resources and activities that encourage children to build on their experiences at home to strengthen their good sense of belonging still further.  The childminder's self-evaluation does not fully include the views of parents to assist her in identifying areas for future improvement.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder thoroughly understands the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She is able to identify possible signs and symptoms that may cause concern for a child's well-being and she knows how to respond to any potential concerns appropriately and swiftly. The childminder is attentive to protecting children's safety by conducting daily checks to reduce hazards. She monitors her whole provision, including the educational programmes, and she analyses the impact of her training. This helps her to identify areas for improvement and continue to make positive changes for the children in her care. She works closely with parents and ensures that she has appropriate information about their children's needs before they start to attend. Parents receive daily information from the childminder about events, routines and the activities children have enjoyed. They are involved well in children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder demonstrates a good understanding of how to engage children and capture their interests. She offers a positive environment in which children can learn and play. This helps them to feel valued, safe and happy and gives children confidence to make decisions and discuss ideas. The childminder has an accurate understanding of children's developmental needs and quickly addresses any gaps in their learning. She carefully observes children to find out what they can do and plans for their needs so that they make good progress. The childminder makes good use of opportunities to encourage children's speech and language skills. For example, she introduces them to songs and rhymes and she speaks in a way that makes it easy for young children to listen to her and to understand her meaning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have a strong bond with the childminder. They enjoy frequent cuddles, encouragement and lots of praise, which gives them a strong sense of well-being and self- esteem. The childminder is a positive role model and supports the children well to share, take turns, and to be patient and considerate to others. This helps children to show respect and kindness to others. The childminder provides a good range of resources, activities and experiences to help children learn about others' cultures and beliefs. This helps children learn to value and respect others and to challenge inappropriate attitudes and practices.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development from their starting points. They are encouraged to be increasingly independent because the childminder gives them many opportunities to make choices about their play. They gain the skills that enable them to be well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including their move to school.
