p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder carefully monitors the progress children make. She plans activities which appeal to children's interests or events happening in their lives. She uses these to move children forward on to their next stages in development.  The childminder develops partnerships with the staff in the other settings children attend to help her provide continuity for the children. She also works in partnership with other professionals, such as health visitors, to ensure she meets the needs of the children well.  Children make good progress in all areas of learning. They develop confidence in their time with the childminder.  The childminder teaches children about healthy practices. For example, they learn about foods that are good for them and make healthy choices throughout the day, including at mealtimes.  The childminder continues to develop knowledge and skills that help improve her provision and to understand better how to support the development of all children in

the setting. For example, she better understands how boys learn.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder works closely with parents to find out about the children. However, she does not consistently offer them opportunities to extend children's learning in the home.  The childminder offers an environment that stimulates learning. However, younger children cannot easily see the whole range of resources that are available to them.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her duty to safeguard children. She is aware of the signs that indicate a child's welfare is at risk and knows how to proceed in the event of a concern. The childminder consistently reflects on how she can improve her practice and makes changes accordingly. For example, she is currently establishing systems to help her learn from other childminders and to tighten her own teaching skills. The childminder listens to the views of parents and acts on these to improve her practice. For instance, she has developed resources that help children to use their home languages in the setting, following parent questionnaires. The childminder pays strong consideration to children's opinions. For example, she allows them to make choices about what they do, including what they want to eat.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder shows a strong ability to meet the needs of different-aged children during activities. For example, when making cakes, she makes sure young children remain involved and teaches skills to help children in their future learning. These include number recognition and weighing. The childminder supports children well in their speech and language development. For example, the childminder invites children to respond to questions and share their ideas. She recognises their contributions and models pronunciation well to move them forward. The childminder reflects diversity well in her setting. For example, she celebrates differences that exist between people and helps each child to understand the qualities that make them who they are.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder forms strong relationships with children and helps them to feel safe, secure and special. The childminder understands how children are feeling about events in their lives. She works with them to help them deal with their emotions. For example, when children are nervous about starting nursery, she supports them intently as they settle in and helps them to feel confident about the change. The childminder promotes the development of independence in children. For instance, she has set routines in place at mealtimes, which children follow, including laying the table and making their own sandwiches. The childminder promotes positive behaviour effectively, and children happily abide by rules and act kindly to one another.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children show focus in their play. They intently explore new resources that have been put out for them. For example, they spend a long time exploring the sand and testing out their ideas. Children show joy in 'reading', for example, they pick up books and say the familiar lines in their favourite stories. They develop skills ready for their future learning. Children develop good social skills and build secure friendships. They learn about rules of social etiquette, such as engaging in conversations politely with the group.
