p.1

The childminder uses her assessments of children's development to monitor and support their learning well.  The childminder supports children's emotional well-being effectively. Children settle quickly and are happy and comfortable in the childminder's care. They show they feel safe and secure.  The childminder forms good partnerships with parents, to keep them well informed about their children's care.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasions, the childminder does not recognise when to encourage children to complete tasks for themselves to develop their independence.  The childminder does not build on the initial information she gains from parents about what children can already do, to help her plan for their learning more precisely from the start.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder organises her setting well to meet children's needs. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands the procedures to follow if she has concerns about a child's welfare. She conducts rigorous risk assessments of her premises and all outings that children attend, to help keep them safe. The childminder has continued with her professional development well; for example, to plan activities to better support children's imaginations. The childminder uses relevant guidance and works closely with other providers, to continually share ideas and improve outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder plans effectively for children's individual learning. She identifies their next steps for learning and tailors activities to incorporate these to help children to make good progress. Children settle quickly and freely choose from a wide range of resources to extend their interests. They learn to recognise colours and count items as they play. For example, they mould dough and count the dough balls they make. The childminder supports children's language development well. For example, she talks to the children as she joins in their play, and names objects and their actions. She acknowledges young children's babble when they try to communicate and repeats words correctly for them to copy.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settled. The childminder encourages their good behaviour. For example, she reminds children to share and to be careful so they do not hurt themselves. Children behave well. The childminder praises children regularly, to boost their self-esteem and confidence. The childminder is fully aware of how to support children's good health and hygiene. She offers children effective opportunities to enhance their physical development. For example, children enjoy community activities and outings in the local area where they climb on equipment and enjoy the fresh air.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in readiness for school. They are motivated and confident learners. Children and toddlers are inquisitive and explore their surroundings with excitement. They are active learners who become engrossed in activities and concentrate for extended periods of time. For example, children particularly enjoy spending time exploring toys that make sounds. They show good levels of curiosity as they press the buttons and wait for the lights to flash.
