p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder and her assistant work well together to promote children's learning. They provide a good range of planned and free play activities to encourage children's development.  Children behave well and are given good support to aid their relationships and friendships with others. The childminder teaches children about the importance of respect and sharing.  The environment in which children play is clean, well maintained and child friendly. Children can freely choose from a good range of toys and resources. Children are confident and active learners.  The childminder has good working relationships with parents and their positive feedback reflects how highly they appreciate her and her service.  The childminder reflects effectively on her practice with her assistant. They identify and plan how to make improvements together, for example, by attending food hygiene training to benefit children's health and well-being.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children are not consistently reminded to follow good hygiene practices at times, to help maintain their health.  The childminder sometimes misses opportunities to build upon children's mathematical knowledge.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn and develop. She has detailed learning journals in place, for example, to show how the children are progressing. She uses these effectively to monitor and evaluate children's achievements. This enables her to plan accordingly for children's individual learning. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a strong understanding of her role to safeguard children. She has a secure awareness of the signs and symptoms that would raise concerns about a child's welfare and is confident in the procedures to follow. The childminder works well with her assistant and together they ensure that their skills are current and up to date. Partnerships with other professionals are well established and references from these professionals show the dedication the childminder has in working with them to enhance outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides good quality teaching. Children enjoy a wide range of play and structured activities to promote knowledge and development. For example, children enjoy playing imaginatively with puppets, learning new sounds and actions which represent different animals. Activities are well integrated. For example, children enjoy looking at books that incorporate the puppets, which further extends their critical thinking. The childminder is skilful with her communication to the children. For example, she introduces new vocabulary as she reads and talks to the children, which helps to improve children's language and communication.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident and clearly have a lovely relationship with the childminder and her assistant, which shows that they feel safe and secure. Children share well and are taught to respect and understand people who may be different from themselves. For example, they learn about disabled people. Children receive a high amount of praise and reward from the childminder and her assistant. For example, when they wait for their friends to finish eating before they leave the table and when they are congratulated for trying different foods. This helps to boost their self-esteem. Children are beginning to learn about healthy lifestyles through a range of daily experiences. For example, they enjoy nutritious snacks and meals and are taught the importance of brushing their teeth after eating. Furthermore, children enjoy outside play in the woodlands and garden and do yoga with the childminder, which aids their physical skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are independent learners and are developing good skills to help them be prepared for their next stage in learning.
