p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder carries out regular observations of children's skills. Assessments in place are concise and clearly show children's good progress across all areas of learning.  Teaching is good. Children learn through play and planned activities that are based on the childminder's very good knowledge of their learning and development. For example, children enjoy mixing water in the sand. This is extended by involving them in finding twigs to make marks on the wet sand.  Children benefit from well-resourced play areas, where they freely access toys to extend their play. For example, they choose two varieties of building blocks to play with and this leads to interesting discussions and learning through problem solving.  The childminder expertly teaches children about their community and festivals. She recently involved parents in celebrating a cultural week when they brought popular food from home for children to taste. This helps children to inspirationally learn important

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder and her assistant participate in regular training and have a secure knowledge of child protection. There are effective procedures regarding the steps to take should concerns arise about children's welfare. The childminder is highly committed to protecting children and ensures that those in contact with them are suitable. She thoroughly risk assesses play areas and outings to ensure that children are safe. The childminder maintains detailed records of children's care and learning. This information is very effectively shared with parents. The childminder liaises with other professionals, such as the local authority and children's centre. This helps her to promptly support children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has great knowledge of children's next steps in learning and participates in a wide range of training to continuously enhance her teaching practice. For example, to support children's language development, she has learned to use sign language. Children benefit from daily outdoor play and outings at local parks and woods. Children play with high levels of interest, excitement and engagement. For example, they learn to control the tap to collect enough water to fill up their buckets. They then use the water to make puddles. They enthusiastically count as they jump. Educational programmes provide children with daily opportunities to enjoy stories, songs and craft activities. Parents praise the dedication of the childminder and her assistant in ensuring that children are constantly provided with great learning opportunities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder skilfully engages parents in exchanging information about children's ongoing needs. In partnership, they ensure that these needs are met. Settling-in sessions are planned according to children's well-being and they settle quickly. The childminder and her assistant expertly focus on promoting healthy lifestyles. Meals are homemade and nutritious. Children have excellent opportunities for outdoor play and exercise. They fully benefit from freely chosen access to fresh air. For example, they take books outside and enjoy stories outdoors. Children are constantly praised and extremely confident. They form exceptional bonds with the childminder, her assistant and their peers. Children learn to manage their personal hygiene and are very independent.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Procedures to identify children's starting points and next steps in learning are highly effective. The childminder provides them with plenty of opportunities to discuss children's progress. She tracks children's achievements and effectively uses all information to narrow gaps in their progress. Teaching is very effective. The childminder models skills to children. For example, she teaches them how to blow bubbles and dandelions. Children learn this with enthusiasm. The areas of learning are effectively promoted and children develop at a good pace. They are well prepared for nursery and school.
