p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder has a good understanding of the requirements to support and extend children's well-being and meet their individual needs.  The childminder builds strong and supportive relationships with parents. For example, she regularly shares information with them about their children's care needs, such as toilet training and healthy eating.  The childminder has high expectations of behaviour and leads by example. She develops caring relationships with children, which helps them to thrive.  The childminder has improved her practice since her last inspection. For example, she has accessed training and made good use of the support from her local authority adviser. She is beginning to identify some areas for further improvement.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not gather fully the views of parents and children to help develop her provision even further.  The childminder is still at the early stages of embedding stronger links with other professionals to help improve the provision for children who have special educational needs.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of how she can safeguard and protect children to ensure that they are safe. She knows how to record and report any concerns about children's welfare. She has developed strong partnerships with parents, and they say that they feel well supported by her. The childminder accesses training and support and generally reflects on her practice to develop her provision. For example, she works closely with her co-childminder to share ideas about new activities she can introduce to children in her care. She knows how to track children's progress and ensures that children receive the support they need to complement what they learn at school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder interacts enthusiastically with children and follows their interests in play. She observes children to see what they are interested in, and provides resources to stimulate their physical, social and language development. For example, when children show an interest in drawing, she joins in providing different coloured paints. She encourages them to mix the colours together to see which colours they can make and talk about them. Children enjoy the activities she provides and when she drops them off at school, they are excited to continue their learning. She provides opportunities to develop children's awareness of equality and diversity. For example, she provides children with flags and maps that represent the heritage of their families and discusses the similarities and differences between the countries. She shares information with parents about how they can support their children's development at home; for example, through sharing

information about the activities accessible at the local children's centre.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder treats children with genuine warmth and gives them plenty of praise and attention. Children learn to socialise and become confident with other children and adults. They develop their physical skills and knowledge of personal safety well, such as when walking to school with the childminder. She gives them regular opportunities to socialise with other children. For example, they enjoy going to the park and to groups at the local children's centre. The childminder consistently helps children to develop their health, physical and emotional well-being. Children develop independence, such as managing their own hand washing and putting on their shoes and hats to go outdoors. She models high expectations of behaviour, for example, she teaches children to treat resources and one another with respect.
