This provision is good

 The childminder undertakes self-evaluation successfully and she effectively identifies ways to improve. For example, she listens to parents' suggestions, making changes to help ensure she meets the needs of children and parents, such as changing her menu to meet children's dietary requirements.  The childminder has extremely high expectations of children and an excellent knowledge of how they learn. Her detailed planning, informed by sharply focused observations and assessments, helps her to challenge children extremely well.  Children develop good relationships with the childminder and show that they feel secure and confident in her care. For example, they involve her in their play and enjoy having pretend telephone conversations.  Children are prepared extremely well for their next stage of development. For example, they are highly independent and demonstrate exceptional physical coordination from an

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not make the best use of opportunities to share information with other settings that children attend to further support consistency in care and learning.  Occasionally, the childminder does not review the environment to clear space for children to participate more fully in activities to develop their large movements and physical coordination.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good programme of professional development. For example, she undertakes research and receives newsletters and information from other professionals to keep her updated. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of child protection and how to report any concerns she may have about a child's welfare. She carefully monitors children's attendance to enable her to highlight any patterns of non- attendance. The childminder develops good partnerships with parents. For example, she gives parents daily feedback and shares children's ongoing achievements and progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The childminder is exceptionally good at identifying children's interests and has high expectations of children. She challenges and motivates children to learn through their interests. For example, she expertly chooses a selection of books that she knows will hold children's attention and enrich their experience of reading, ensuring all young children gain excellent communication skills. Children learn to listen attentively, develop their vocabulary and participate, such as by lifting the flaps and turning the pages. The childminder is extremely skilful in adapting her teaching to ensure all children benefit from each activity. For example, older children develop their mathematical language while building towers out of blocks, while younger children learn to piece the blocks together and take them apart. The childminder provides highly motivating activities to engage children in pretending they are, for instance, making tea and cake. She skilfully extends

this to help children to develop their social skills and encourage sharing.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder encourages healthy eating and supports children's physical welfare. For example, she offers children heathy foods and takes them on a wide variety of outings that encourage physical development. The childminder supports children's personal well- being effectively and builds on their self-esteem. For example, she offers praise to children for their efforts and achievements. The childminder encourages children to behave well, for example, explaining how to play carefully with resources.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children make excellent and well-rounded progress from their starting points. All children are extremely confident. For example, they talk to visitors and show them their toys or what they have made. Children develop exceptional communication and language skills. They are able to focus on and listen to the childminder. Children thoroughly enjoy their play experiences and are highly engaged during all activities.
