p.1

This provision is good

 Children make good developmental progress in relation to their starting points. The childminder uses the choices that children make during their play to support, encourage and challenge their learning. For example, young children enthusiastically identify and link the sounds of letters to words successfully and enjoy repeating the activity.  Children are well behaved and polite. The childminder develops children's social skills effectively. For example, children who are initially very shy develop the confidence to interact with other children and form close friendships.  The childminder works well in partnership with parents to meet children's individual needs. She establishes positive communication with parents and exchanges information about children's ongoing development.  The childminder uses self-evaluation to improve her professional development, teaching practice and children's care and learning effectively. She exchanges ideas with other

childminders, which she uses to further support children's learning and development.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder regularly updates her good understanding of child protection procedures. The good quality of the childminder's teaching practice has a positive impact on children's learning and development. She joins in children's play, teaches them new skills and gives them time to achieve their aims. The childminder uses her good knowledge of children's individual achievements to closely monitor their progress and extend their learning. Since the last inspection, the childminder has improved the opportunities for children to recognise words in the environment. She has also improved how she communicates with other early years settings that children may attend.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a good range of activities and experiences that motivate and challenge children effectively. For example, children confidently take part in group music and movement activities and enjoy outings to local parks and toddler groups. Children develop control of their movements, for example, while running freely in a forest. Children develop a good understanding of the world. For example, they pick fruit and stroke farm animals at a garden centre, and they visit other childminder's homes for activities. Children thoroughly enjoy searching for plastic bugs hidden in jelly and transferring dried rice into different sized containers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides children with a positive role model. She treats children with kindness, respect and fully values and embraces their ideas. She supports children to be kind and considerate to others and to share and take turns. Children are relaxed and secure in the childminder's care. They enjoy everything on offer and eagerly take part in activities. Children move smoothly between the childminder's care and their home life. The childminder supports children's good health effectively. Children play energetically outdoors every day. The childminder gives children time to try things for themselves and be independent. Children learn to dress themselves, help to chop up fruit at snack time, and learn to get in and out of the childminder's car safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain the skills they need for their future learning and starting school. Their listening, understanding, concentration and enthusiasm to keep trying during activities are above typical levels of development for their age. Young children thoughtfully consider how to approach all activities. For example, while carefully selecting, ordering and stacking different sized containers to build towers. Children show great interest in books and listen attentively during story time.
