p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder establishes warm bonds with children and successfully supports their emotional well-being. New children settle quickly into the childminder's setting and enjoy her friendly interactions. They are all happy, secure and confident.  Children behave well. They share with each other willingly and act kindly. The childminder shares her expectations with them effectively, such as by talking about the rules as a reminder, to help them learn what acceptable behaviour is.  The childminder evaluates the quality of her setting effectively. She identifies her setting's strengths and any areas that need development, and eagerly takes action to improve. For instance, since registering as a childminder, she has developed children's opportunities to explore books independently, to enhance their early literacy skills.  Children develop their speech particularly well. The childminder successfully supports

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder misses some opportunities to help parents share information about children's progress and development at home, to help inform her ongoing planning.  At times, the childminder does not provide a wide range of opportunities for children to learn about the similarities and differences between themselves and others, to help support their understanding of different people in the community.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder implements clear policies and procedures to help keep children safe. She understands her duties in supporting children's welfare, and knows how to report any concerns if she suspects a child is at risk of harm. The childminder works well with others, such as local childminders, to help improve children's experiences and outcomes. For instance, she seeks their advice to help her develop her skills and maintain good teaching levels. The childminder recognises the importance of professional development. She develops her skills effectively, such as through attending training, to help provide children with good-quality care and experiences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children excitedly play in a welcoming, stimulating environment. The childminder skilfully plans arounds children's interests to help support their motivation to join in. Children are keen to explore the activities and concentrate well. They enjoy physical experiences that use their senses, such as exploring materials to mould and shape using tools. They use equipment with good control and learn to use words to describe how it feels. The childminder supports children's learning well. For instance, she uses questions to help older children share their ideas and what they know, to encourage their enjoyment and involvement. The childminder assesses children's achievements regularly and knows them well. She observes what children can do and uses this information effectively to plan age- appropriate experiences. Overall, she works with parents and other settings children attend well. She shares information with parents regularly to keep them well informed

about children's development and progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children eat nutritious foods and are active. They enjoy outings, such as to the local park, to develop their physical skills and well-being. The childminder successfully supports children's independence skills while they play. For example, she demonstrates the use of tools to toddlers to help them learn how to use them without help. The childminder regularly assesses risks in all areas that children use to identify and remove any hazards.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and learn a range of skills that prepares them well for their future learning and, eventually, for school. For example, toddlers learn to walk confidently, enjoy babbling and begin to join in with rhyming activities. Older children communicate clearly and listen attentively. They develop good social skills and interact with others confidently. Children develop their physical skills well, such as while playing catch and learning to kick a ball.
