p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder provides a welcoming, stimulating and safe environment. She uses children's interests effectively to plan a range of interesting and motivating activities. Children engage well in activities and display good concentration skills.  The childminder places an extremely sharp focus on children's communication and language development in every activity or experience that they take part in. The childminder models speech exceptionally well. For example, she asks well-considered questions and speaks clearly and purposefully. Children quickly become capable and fluent talkers.  The childminder is good role model for children and they form strong attachments with her. She encourages good manners, social skills, independence and an understanding of healthy practices. Children are encouraged to develop positive friendships with each other and play cooperatively.  The childminder has established strong and trusting relationships with parents and

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder is less confident in using what she knows about children's learning from home to supplement her assessments.  The childminder's monitoring of children's progress clearly identifies any gaps in learning but does not yet extend to identify where progress to close those gaps may be slower.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of routes of referral if she has a concern about a child. She conducts thorough risk assessments to support children's safety. The childminder successfully evaluates the quality of her provision and she seeks and includes the views of parents and children. She identifies any early gaps in learning and puts effective strategies in place, working closely with parents, to close the gaps quickly. To support her own development, she attends regular training and seeks advice and support from the local authority. This training has been used to good effect; for example, she has reviewed her planning and reorganised her learning spaces to cater for children who learn better outside. This has had a positive impact on the progress that boys make in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is well qualified and has a good understanding of how young children learn and develop. She makes regular and precise assessments of children's learning to closely monitor their progress and to identify any gaps in their learning. Children have good opportunities to investigate and learn about the natural world through planned activities and outdoor experiences. They are supported well to develop their curiosity and play imaginatively. For example, younger children experiment with concepts such as 'full' and 'empty' as they submerge containers into a bucket and watch bubbles rise to the top. They watch in awe as the water wheels spin and note how, as a result of their actions, it spins slower and then faster.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have developed strong bonds with the caring childminder. She recognises their individual needs, follows their home routines and supports their physical and emotional well-being. Children respond well to the simple boundaries in place and enjoy assisting with daily tasks and routines. They behave very well. The childminder plans rich experiences for children to learn about their local area and the wider community. For example, they enjoy a trip to the local Filipino supermarket where they buy, and later cook and eat, sticky rice. They show their keenness to learn about other spoken languages that are different from their own, using these in their play.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Younger children's speech and language skills are developing extremely well. They are emotionally secure and concentrate on tasks for long periods of time, given their young age. Children are well prepared for their next stages in learning.
