p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder establishes secure relationships with the children. They have a good sense of belonging and are keen to learn, steadily growing in self-confidence.  The childminder understands how children develop and makes accurate assessments of their progress. She provides a wide range of interesting resources and activities to engage children in their learning. This contributes to the children making good progress based on their individual capabilities.  Parents are encouraged to have an active role in their child's learning. The childminder effectively seeks parents' views on how she can further develop the quality of her setting. This helps to improve the outcomes for children.  The childminder understands how to keep children safe. For example, she undertakes risk assessments of her home and outings, minimising hazards where necessary and practises evacuation drills with children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder sometimes misses opportunities to extend children's independence further and build on their understanding of managing tasks for themselves.  The childminder does not successfully extend children's awareness of written words in their home languages to further support their sense of belonging.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of child protection issues and the procedures to follow to protect the children from harm. She is aware of how to identify children being drawn into extreme views and behaviours. The childminder ensures other adults living on the premises are suitable and have the appropriate checks in place to support children's welfare. The childminder reflects on her practice effectively and looks at ways to help her to improve. For example, following research, she evaluated her equipment and explored further ways to teach children about natural resources. This has improved children's awareness of identifying and exploring a wider range of activities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder communicates regularly with parents and keeps them well informed about their children's progress. For example, she shares her resources with parents to support children's current learning needs, which helps parents to further extend their children's learning at home. The childminder successfully tracks and monitors children's progress. This contributes to her effectively identifying their next stages of learning and planning engaging activities. The childminder demonstrates good teaching skills. For example, she builds on the children's mathematical skills by modelling counting of objects during song times. She also encourages them to identify colours as they participate in sensory play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settled in the childminder's welcoming environment. The childminder knows the children well and meets their individual needs effectively. She develops children's social skills and awareness of the wider community. For example, they make regular visits to the local children's centre where the children play with other children. The childminder promotes children's understanding healthy lifestyles. For example, she offers children healthy meals and snacks. Children also take part in regular physical outdoor exercise, such as learning ball skills and manoeuvring cars skilfully around the garden.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for their next stage in learning. They show confidence in participating with activities that support their learning and development effectively. For example, the children are encouraged to recognise colours and learn to count. Children learn about technology and how things work. For instance, they have access to resources that have a cause and effect. Children develop a secure understanding of different textures. For example, they explore sand and playdough, making patterns in the dough with pasta shells.
