This provision is good

 The childminder organises her setting well. She uses effective processes to evaluate her provision and identify improvements.

She highlights their achievements and identifies any areas in learning for further development.  Children thoroughly enjoy their time as they engage in a broad range of interesting and worthwhile activities that support their future learning. Children make good progress.  The childminder has a good understanding of children's individual needs, and her kind and caring approach enables children to feel relaxed and safe in her care.  The childminder understands how to work in partnership with other provisions that

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not fully support children's early literacy skills at times, in particular to extend their opportunities to write for different purposes.  Children do not have many opportunities to develop an awareness of their own and other people's cultures and backgrounds, to improve their understanding of the world.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of her role and responsibility to safeguard and protect children. She is aware of the procedure to follow if she has a welfare concern about a child, and she has clear policies in place that she uses to support her practice. The childminder works closely with parents. She gathers information from them at the start of their children's placement and she encourages them to continue to play an active role in their children's learning. She uses the information that they provide to support her in making assessments of their children and to plan for their next steps in their learning. The childminder keeps her knowledge up to date to enhance her teaching practice. For example, she reads relevant literature and attends regular training.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder plans the learning environment well to provide children with a wide range of interesting and challenging learning experiences. Children spend their time purposefully engaged in activities. The childminder interacts well with children during their play, such as to engage them in meaningful conversation. Overall, children's communication and language are developing well. For example, the childminder talks to children about what they are doing, and effectively responds to their questions and interests. There are good opportunities for children to use their home language in their play. For example, they confidently talk to the childminder, who also speaks their home language. The childminder encourages children to share ideas and be creative, for example, while engaging them in role play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have many opportunities to engage in physical play and enjoy outdoor activities. For example, the childminder takes them on regular trips to the park, where they can use the large play equipment. Children learn about health and hygiene well through the explanations and daily routines, such as washing their hands before eating and after using the toilet. Children behave and respond well to the consistent praise and encouragement that they receive from the childminder, which helps to develop their self-confidence. Children settle well and enjoy the close relationships they build with her.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress, typical for their age and stage of development. They are keen learners and show an enthusiasm for trying out new things. They show an appreciation of books and enjoy listening to stories. They demonstrate a basic understanding of mathematics. For example, they learn to count, identify colours and talk about different shapes. Children are well prepared for their eventual move to school.
