p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder develops strong relationships with the children in her care and knows their interests and abilities well.  Children are suitability challenged to encourage their academic abilities for their move to school. The childminder also supports their emotional well-being for upcoming changes in their lives. Children make good progress.  The childminder provides good opportunities for children to learn about assessing risks during their everyday experiences, to help them learn about keeping safe.  The childminder has developed good ways to evaluate and make improvements to her provision. She takes account of the views of parents to support her evaluations and improve her practice.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children who prefer to learn outside do not always have consistent opportunities to explore and gain skills, to help them make the best possible progress.  The childminder does not always give children the time they need to respond when she asks questions, to fully support their communication and language skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good understanding of her role and implements statutory requirements effectively. She ensures that children are kept safe in her care. For example, she checks her home for hazards and conducts risk assessments for outings. The childminder ensures that parents are kept informed of any accidents or first aid treatment as well as any medication she administers. She is aware of the signs which may raise concerns about a child's welfare and is confident in the procedure she would follow if the need arises. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has good relationships with parents, to communicate with them about their children's care, well-being and learning. The childminder develops her knowledge and skills, and she liaises with other professionals to help improve her skills and overall service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy a wide variety of outings to develop their skills and learning. For example, they enjoy going to the allotments to watch vegetables and flowers grow, and visit the library where they borrow books to read at home. The childminder models children's language well and children develop a wide vocabulary in English and the languages that they speak at home. The childminder challenges and extends children's knowledge by answering their questions, to help extend their learning. The childminder has developed good ways to observe and assess children's progress and development, and involves parents in their children's learning well, to help children make good progress over time. She liaises with the other settings that children also attend, to give children a consistent approach to their learning and to plan activities that complement learning elsewhere.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder encourages children to become independent with managing their care needs, such as handwashing and toilet visits. Children behave well and are polite to the childminder and others. They enjoy gaining stickers for their reward charts when they achieve or do well at an activity. The childminder provides healthy and nutritious meals and children enjoy trying new foods, including those from around the world. Children learn to accept and respect the differences between people and they enjoy activities which celebrate their home languages and cultures.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from when they start with the childminder, including those who are learning English as an additional language. Children become confident and motivated learners who enjoy learning and playing to gain new skills for the next stages in their education. For example, they practise their pencil grip in readiness for writing and learn to recognise different types of print as part of developing their early reading skills.
