p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder is committed to providing good levels of learning and care. She has worked diligently to maintain the good quality of her provision.  The well-qualified childminder has high expectations of children. She includes good levels of challenge to promote their learning and she makes timely assessments of their development. She plans well for children's individual learning and ensures they make good progress in her care.  Children are very well behaved and know what is expected of them. They follow the routine of the setting and tidy away independently after play. Children understand that a tidy room means that they are less likely to trip over potential hazards.  Children's physical health is promoted well. They enjoy balanced meals and healthy snacks. Children have opportunities to try out large play equipment at physical play venues. They also play in the childminder's garden where they learn to grow herbs and

vegetables in large tubs.  Partnerships with parents are successful. The childminder obtains detailed information from parents about what their children can do when they first start in her setting. The childminder shares information daily and she encourages parents to work on similar goals so that there is a shared understanding of what children can achieve.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not always ensure that children have sufficient opportunities to extend their understanding of differences, such as disability.  Although the childminder maintains good standards throughout her practice, she has not focused her professional development sufficiently on raising standards further, in order to achieve excellent outcomes for all children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder is well informed about the procedures to follow should she have any concerns about a child in her care. The childminder has attended mandatory training and she works regularly with other professionals to review her practice. She monitors children's development effectively and adapts her teaching to support their learning. The childminder builds strong partnerships with parents. She keeps them informed about the progress children make in her care. Parents are delighted with the support they receive to manage and promote children's good behaviour. The childminder is committed to promoting children's safety and welfare at all times.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children have opportunities to develop a wide range of skills in all areas of their learning. The childminder works well with children's preferences and provides stimulating activities they enjoy. Children develop their coordination skills and use paint brushes with good control. The childminder engages children fully and promotes their communication skills well. She listens attentively to children's explanations of their marks, describing them as rainbows. The childminder follows their lead to introduce songs that reflect what they do. She includes good levels of challenge for them and encourages them to name colours they expect to see in a rainbow. The childminder gives lots of praise for effort, which raises children's self-esteem effectively. The skilful childminder helps children to develop an awareness of time. She explains clearly why the paintings should be hung to dry on the line outside. Children are motivated to cooperate as they are offered an incentive to wait

for the desired results, so that they can take their work home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very confident and self-assured. They demonstrate by their actions that they are totally at ease in the childminder's care. They seek her support when they need help and often invite her to join in with imaginary play. Their personal development is promoted well as they independently go to the bathroom. Children try out ideas as they press buttons on a selection of toys and talk with the childminder about what they do. Children demonstrate a keen awareness of their surroundings and develop their own play to mirror the childminder's routine. They copy her actions and prepare pretend meals in the role play kitchen. The childminder encourages children to try a range of foods so that they develop their understanding of healthy options. Children's emotional well-being is promoted well. They enjoy lots of cuddles and hugs with the childminder.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All groups of children make good progress in their learning and development. Children are active learners who know how to develop their play activities. They count during play and are beginning to write letters in their names. Children's personal and independence skills are well promoted and they are well prepared for the next stage in their learning.
