p.1

This provision is good

 Children benefit from a range of interesting and easily accessible resources. They develop confidence in choosing activities that reflect their current interests and experiences. Children become independent and motivated learners.  The childminder is a good role model for the children in her care and is kind and caring. She carefully supports them to think about how their behaviour affects others. They learn to share and take turns.  Accurate assessments of the children's learning and development help the childminder effectively plan what they need to learn next to prepare for their next stage of learning. Children make good progress.  Children are happy and eager to learn. The childminder supports their language development well. For examples, she gives them sufficient time to think about their ideas and express their thoughts in their own words.  Children are secure in their relationship with the childminder and turn to her for help or

comfort, if needed. Their emotional well-being is supported effectively.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children have limited opportunities to explore and learn about the natural world.  Partnerships with parents are strong overall, but the childminder does not build on these as well as possible to help parents extend their children's learning at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands the signs and symptoms that may cause concern about the welfare of a child in her care and knows the procedure to follow. The childminder has completed relevant training about how to identify any children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas or behaviours. The childminder completes regular risk assessments to allow her to provide a safe environment. For example, safety gates stop young children from climbing the stairs. Parents praise the care their children receive. The childminder regularly reflects on her practice and uses this to improve outcomes for children. For example, she has improved her resources which support children who are learning English as an additional language.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder plans interesting and stimulating activities which follow children's interests. For example, they turn a cardboard box into a car which the children 'drive'. Children's social well-being is supported, for example, when they visit local groups and learn how to play in larger groups of children. They also visit a local school to take part in sports day to support their eventual move to school. Children engage in imaginative play, for example, dressing up as doctors and using stethoscopes to listen to their dolls' 'heartbeats'. The childminder grasps every opportunity to extend the children's learning. For instance, at lunchtime they identify pictures of different animals on their placemats. The childminder works well with other professionals to support individual children's learning and development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder helps children to develop their independence and self-care skills such as encouraging them to put on their own coats and shoes before going outside. The childminder successfully encourages children's physical development. For example, children laugh with delight when they bounce on a trampoline. With careful support from the childminder, children learn to manage risks and decide if something they want to do is safe. Children behave well and are engaged and busy. For example, they have great fun as they sing their favourite songs and make music using bells and shakers. Outings in their local area, such as to the library, help children learn about people and communities which may be outside their usual experience.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and sociable. They are well prepared for their next stages of learning. For example, they use numbers in their play, counting how many balls they are throwing. Children are keen to share their activity and learning with others, for instance inviting others to join in their imaginative play. They have fun, enjoy their learning and make good progress.
