p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder provides good-quality and stimulating resources for children to choose. Children enthusiastically learn about the world with a mix of carefully planned and spontaneous activities.  The childminder knows the children well. She makes accurate observations of children's progress and plans well for their individual learning, so they make good progress.  The childminder provides a safe and stimulating environment, and children are settled and happy in her care. Older children begin to understand the needs of the other children and children play together cooperatively.  The childminder prepares children well for the next stage in their learning. For example, the childminder teaches useful skills in early mathematics and literacy.  The childminder reviews her provision well. She has developed positive partnerships with parents, and responds effectively to their comments and suggestions to develop

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not provide highly effective opportunities for children to choose experiences which help them to develop their body control.  The childminder sometimes intervenes too quickly to guide children's play so that they do not have time to think for themselves about how to develop their imaginative play.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a good understanding of how to protect a child's welfare and keep them safe. She has up-to-date information about safeguarding matters and explains this confidently to her assistant. The childminder evaluates her provision well. For example, she works closely with external advisors and follows advice. She uses her good knowledge of how children learn effectively. She occasionally monitors her assistant's performance to ensure consistently good practice. These different checks help the childminder to meet children's learning and care needs successfully.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses her detailed observations of children to plan for their learning and in all areas of learning. She engages parents well, and provides ideas and suggestions for children to continue their learning at home. The childminder skilfully follows children's interests, for example, in the natural world. She promotes their language development well; for example, when children are excited to spot a snail in the garden, the childminder encourages them to describe the snail's features and movements. The childminder helps children understand how to use technology, such as what to do when using a camera. Children listen, and follow her clear instructions and demonstrations.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder promotes children's understanding of healthy eating well. For example, she provides nutritious food and children enjoy identifying different fruits and vegetables in their role-play games. Children learn about safe personal practices. For example, the childminder explains about sun-protection creams and she practises evacuation drills with children so they know what to do in an emergency. The childminder meets children's emotional needs well. For example, she understands when some children lack confidence in group situations and she successfully plans to help them develop their self-esteem.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for school and gain key skills. For example, older children write their names, other short words and sound out letters. All children enjoy sharing books. Children play with a range of number and shape resources. Older children match numerals and quantities with ease. Children learn to manage small tasks themselves. For example, they pour their drinks at snack times.
