p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder quickly gets to know children and uses her knowledge about them to help them make good progress from their starting points. For example, she provides children with lots of opportunities to develop their physical skills and core strength. Babies show great confidence and determination as they move around and squeal with excitement while playing ball games with the childminder.  The childminder observes, assesses and promotes children's development effectively to provide them with challenge. She works well in partnership with parents to discuss and monitor children's ongoing development effectively, including any concerns.  The childminder has a good understanding of her role and responsibilities. For example, she supervises children well at all times to keep them safe. The childminder keeps detailed records of any incidents.  The childminder forms close, affectionate relationships with children and provides them

with a positive role model. For example, she interacts and talks with babies and gives them cuddles. She openly celebrates their ongoing achievements, such as when they start to smile at other people and learn to clap their hands.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children do not consistently have opportunities to explore different textures and develop their senses further.  Children's sense of identity and awareness of differences in society are not fully promoted.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder regularly updates her good knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures, for example, through completing online safeguarding training. The childminder continually evaluates and improves her teaching practice. Since registration, she has adapted the way she assesses children's progress and shares this information with parents. For example, she now uses a secure electronic app on her mobile phone to record and share up-to-date information about children's ongoing development. She talks to other childminders and shares ideas for activities and resources, which she uses to meet children's individual needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder engages in children's play and supports their development effectively. She gets down to children's level and explains things to them, for example, to promote their good emerging language development. Some young children are starting to use lots of words and sentences, such as 'I need the toilet' and 'mummy coming'. The childminder provides children with a good range of activities and experiences that motivates them to learn. For example, she regularly takes them on outings to parks, playgrounds, soft-play facilities and farms. Children enjoy being with other children and adults and look forward to seeing their friends during these outings. In good weather, children thoroughly enjoy playing in a paddling pool in the childminder's garden.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder develops close, affectionate relationships with children and gives them equal attention so that they all feel included. Children move smoothly between their home and the childminder's care and they are happy and settled. Overall, children are well behaved. The childminder manages toddlers' occasional temper tantrums patiently and effectively. Children have good opportunities to be active, indoors and outdoors. They are motivated and independent in their play and are keen to explore and find resources by themselves. The childminder fully supports children's good health. For example, she prepares homemade healthy food and supports babies' weaning effectively.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need for starting school. For example, they quickly learn to use the toilet and wash their hands at appropriate times. Babies show determination and independence as they learn to hold and use their feeding bottles themselves. Children develop good social skills, for example, during lots of outings in the community.
