p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder makes good use of her assessments of children to plan challenging and interesting activities that meet their individual needs. Children make good progress in their learning.  The childminder forms effective partnerships with parents. They work closely together to promote children's learning and welfare successfully.  The childminder successfully teaches children about the importance of healthy lifestyles. For example, children develop a strong understanding of why they need to eat healthy foods.  The childminder reflects on her practice competently and makes changes that improve children's experiences. For example, she does research and gains ideas for activities to help strengthen children's sensory skills.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always plan activities flexibly enough to allow children to choose what they want and play independently.  Sometimes the childminder does not give children the time they need to think and express their thoughts, to help strengthen their already good communication skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder keeps her knowledge of safeguarding procedures up to date, for example, by completing relevant courses. She fully understands her responsibility to report any child protection concerns to the appropriate agency. The childminder gives high priority to keeping children safe. She identifies and minimises risks effectively. The childminder creates a welcoming and safe environment for children, indoors and outdoors. The childminder monitors all children's progress effectively and makes sure she is helping every child achieve. She forms good links with other early years settings that enable her to promote continuity of learning for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder gets to know children's interests and abilities well. She provides a wide range of stimulating activities that engage children. Children are well motivated and enjoy the learning experiences. They concentrate well at activities. The childminder interacts well with children as they play and extends their learning. She builds children's confidence and encourages them to explore and investigate. Children increase their understanding of simple science, for example, when they feel ice and talk about what happens to it as it melts. They develop good mathematical skills, such as counting and recognising numbers. Children speak confidently and share their experiences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is a good role model. She is kind, caring and supportive. Children form strong emotional bonds with her. They behave well and readily share toys with their friends. They happily take turns, for example, when they play games together. Children show a strong sense of security and belonging. They confidently move around the home and develop good levels of independence. For example, they learn to manage their own personal care needs such as handwashing and the reasons why it is important to do so. Children join in with physical activities and increase their understanding of the importance of exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy learning and are keen to take part in activities. They develop well in the skills they need for a successful move to school. Children are working well within, and sometimes above, the expected level of achievement for their age.
