p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder provides a calm, caring and welcoming home. Children settle quickly and build secure relationships with her. Children's emotional well-being is supported effectively.  The childminder offers a good range of exciting experiences for all children, which contributes to the good progress they make. She skilfully uses assessments to identify children's next steps in learning.  Children develop good communication and language skills. The childminder asks thought-provoking questions that challenge children's thinking and gives them time to respond.  Children's behaviour is good. The childminder encourages good manners and teaches them how to keep themselves safe in her home.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder establishes partnerships with parents and other settings that children attend, but does not consistently gather information about children's learning at home or other settings.  The childminder has not updated her evaluation and improvement plan with new priorities to continually raise the good quality teaching and care.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has attended child protection training and has developed her knowledge of further safeguarding issues. She knows how to work with other professionals if necessary to help keep children safe. The childminder maintains a safe and secure home and takes action to remove any hazards. She completes regular risk assessments of all areas of the home, including the garden, and also for regular outings. The childminder has created an emergency evacuation plan and carries out regular fire drills with the children. This helps to promote their safety and develop their awareness of staying safe. The childminder completes regular assessments of the children's progress. This enables her to identify and address, any gaps in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children actively engage and show focus in their play. The childminder uses her skills and knowledge to provide them with a variety of interesting and challenging learning experiences. For example, children are enthusiastic as they design their own t-shirt. They choose the colours and show how they can draw kisses and dots on it. When they have completed the activity they proudly model the t-shirt. This helps to develop their expressive arts and design skills and to build their confidence. The childminder communicates with parents on a daily basis to tell them what their children have been doing. She has effective systems to ensure parents have a clear overview of their children's ongoing learning and development while in her care.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder continually supports children to be independent and encourages them to attempt to do things for themselves. The environment is warm and friendly, and children clearly have fun with the childminder. This makes a good contribution to their emotional well-being. The childminder has developed good relationships with local primary schools to support children's future moves. She shares reports with the teachers prior to the children starting school. Children have lots of opportunities to lead a healthy lifestyle and engage in physical activities. For example, they have great fun in the garden, where they learn to ride and balance on the scooter. They enjoy visits to the nearby field where they play with balls and a large parachute. They also go on trips to the local park and indoor play facilities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points and acquire a wide range of skills in readiness for the next stage in their learning. They are confident and motivated. Children are independent and select from a good selection of resources to support their interests. Children develop key skills needed for their move on to school.
