This provision is good

 The childminder has very good partnership working with parents and carers. She shares useful external information, for example, to support them in understanding new initiatives and the expectations for school.  The childminder provides good support and guidance for learning. She joins in with children's play and focuses on helping them to learn new things.  The childminder has robust systems to monitor children's learning and identify where they need further support.  The childminder provides very good support for children to help them prepare for changes or when they move on to another setting. For example, she purchases books with relevant stories that she shares with the children.  The childminder provides clear and consistent explanations of her expectations. As a result, children learn how to keep themselves and others safe.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasion, the childminder does not organise activities well enough to fully support children's listening and attention.  The childminder does not always focus sharply on how areas for improvement will have a positive impact on outcomes for children, or regularly seek feedback from parents and carers.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder continually risk assesses the premises to ensure that they are safe for children. She is clear on the procedure she would follow if she had any child protection concerns, and has well-established procedures to promote children's safety when she takes them on outings. The childminder ensures that she is aware of changes to the requirements by researching information and discussing practice with others. The childminder undertakes a broad range of training to refresh and develop her knowledge and skills. She uses this information well to improve the support she provides for children's learning. For example, she promotes children's engagement in craft activities by providing a broader range of resources and not directing what they should create.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder makes good use of her knowledge of the children to plan activities and resources that help them to move forward in their learning. For example, she sets up a craft activity that helps children to develop their muscle skills in preparation for writing. She includes younger children by focusing on their sensory exploration and holding and handling different materials. The childminder ensures that younger children have resources and furniture available that assist them in standing and walking. She joins in with play effectively to support children's learning, such as developing their vocabulary and recognising numbers and letters. The childminder continually shares information with parents and carers about children's learning and discusses how they will work together to support this. Parents and carers praise the childminder, including the variety of activities she provides and the progress their children make.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder keeps herself up to date with children's care needs through constant discussions with parents and carers. She gives very good support to children if they are anxious about certain things and helps them to overcome their fears. The childminder gives good support to help children understand the importance of sharing. She also helps children to accept and respect others. The childminder organises the premises, resources and routines well to promote children's independence. She encourages children to do things for themselves before offering assistance. The childminder effectively encourages children to lead a healthy lifestyle. She provides daily outings to support their physical development and encourages them to eat healthy foods.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and are at or above their expected stages of development. They recognise the routines and what happens next. Children are confident in handling different tools and resources with control. They enthusiastically join in with activities. Children are developing the skills and knowledge they need for their future learning.
