p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder establishes highly positive partnerships with parents. Children benefit from the good-quality information sharing that supports their learning and development effectively.  Children have good relationships and enjoy each other's company. For example, the childminder helps them to manage their feelings and take turns.  The childminder has a secure understanding of how children learn. She provides a wide range of experiences that challenge and interest children, to support their learning and development. For example, she adapts activities well to keep all children engaged and motivated.  The childminder closely observes children's learning and tracks their development well. For instance, she regularly reviews their development to ensure they continue to make good progress.  The childminder is skilful at supporting all children to achieve during activities. For example, she carefully encourages all children to be involved in play or learning.

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder fully understands the procedures to follow if she has concerns about a child in her care. The childminder keeps children safe. For instance, she assesses hazards in her environment and takes steps to minimise these. The well- qualified childminder effectively uses her training as she reflects on her practice and identifies areas for improvement. For example, she developed the use of 'circle time' to help children understand and be informed about the routine of the day. She has further plans in place to extend children's learning opportunities outside. Children receive continuity in their care and education. The childminder has good relationships with other settings that children attend and shares good information about children's well-being and learning. For instance, she ensures that she spends quality time with other childminders and exchanges information with other professionals.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good knowledge of children's interests and needs, to support their learning. For instance, she identifies clear next steps in their learning to support their development. Older children have an interesting range of opportunities to learn about letters and sounds. For example, the childminder helps children to explore their interest through games and stories. Children concentrate well during their play and planned activities. The childminder carefully questions and supports children to solve problems for themselves. Younger children develop their speech and language skills well. For example, the childminder speaks slowly and clearly to help them learn new words and sounds.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident and settled with the childminder. The childminder provides children with positive outdoor learning experiences. For example, they went outside to experience the windy weather and talked about how it felt. Children behave well. The childminder is a good role model and helps them to understand and value other people's opinions. Children learn about a variety of cultures and other people that may be different from themselves. For instance, they celebrate various festivals and traditions.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Overall, children make consistently good progress in their learning and development from their starting points. They learn key skills to support them to be well prepared to start pre- school or school.
