This provision is good

 The childminder establishes positive partnerships with parents and keeps them involved in their children's learning.

future plans. This helps children to remain interested to learn and make good progress.  Children have good opportunities to learn about the world around them. For instance, they visit places of interest around the local community, such as shops and museums.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not make the most of opportunities to interest children of all ages in early reading materials and books in more extensive ways.  The childminder misses some opportunities to develop children's understanding of other people's similarities and differences in the wider world even further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder is keen to keep up to date with new ideas and current and relevant early years updates. She carries out regular independent reading and research. The childminder continues to extend her skills and knowledge even further. For example, recent training has supported her to make her planning and tracking of children's progress more effective. This helps her to ensure that she is supporting all children to develop well. The childminder monitors children's progress closely. This helps her to promptly highlight any gaps in their development and provide good individual support to help children develop. The childminder establishes positive partnerships with other early years professionals. She liaises regularly with other childminders to share ideas of good practice. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge of the safeguarding procedures to follow, including knowing whom to contact to help protect children's safety and welfare.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Children learn how to keep themselves safe. For example, they learn about the importance of being aware of unfamiliar adults.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder helps prepare children for the next stages of their learning and future move to school well. For instance, children learn what is expected of them and they follow the rules and boundaries in the setting with confidence. The childminder supports children to develop good communication and language skills. For example, she uses a good range of different tones of voice to communicate with them. Children respond positively to the childminder's interactions. Children have good opportunities to develop their interest in technology. For instance, they explore a good range of programmable toys.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder establishes positive relationships with children and helps them to feel secure. For example, she gets to know their individual personalities well. Children begin to understand the importance of healthy lifestyles. They develop a good understanding of meeting their own care needs and are becoming independent. They follow good health and hygiene routines, such as they brush their teeth after mealtimes. Children develop good social skills. For example, if they are minded when no other children are present, the childminder takes them to regular groups. Children learn how to play happily, take turns and share resources with other children.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in relation to their individual starting points. Children are confident and develop positive abilities to support their future learning. Children learn good early writing skills. They confidently give meaning to the marks they make as they paint. Children develop more complicated hand-eye coordination and smaller physical skills. They enjoy interesting activities, such as threading beads onto ribbons.
