This provision is good

 The childminder has a good understanding of child development. She regularly and precisely assesses children's learning and development, and effectively plans suitably challenging activities.  The childminder monitors individual children's progress and understands her role to seek appropriate intervention in a timely manner. This ensures children receive the support they need to help them make good progress from when they first start.  The childminder accurately reflects on her practice. She regularly includes the views and comments of parents to further support their children's learning and development. She uses regular training to update her skills and knowledge and improve practice.  Children enjoy a wide range of activities and resources to further support their emerging interests and development. For example, children enjoy playing in the sand tray and excitedly blow bubbles outside.  The childminder promotes children's healthy lifestyles very well. Children have plenty of

exercise at the local park and she encourages them to choose for themselves from a wide range of healthy snacks.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children do not consistently have the opportunity to fully distinguish between different environmental sounds, to promote their speaking and listening skills further.  At times, the childminder does not take all opportunities to interact with children, or ask purposeful questions, to fully promote their early language skills further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder regularly updates her knowledge and skills on safeguarding matters to help protect children so that they are kept safe. She understands her role to identify and manage instances of extreme views effectively and has procedures in place if she is concerned about a child's welfare. The childminder completes regular risk assessments of her home and offsite visits to minimise risks to children. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder actively identifies strengths and weaknesses in her practice, to ensure she maintains a good-quality childcare provision. Effective partnership working leads to improvements in her practice and positively impacts on children's learning and development. For example, the childminder seeks support from the local authority early years advisers and she has introduced different foods as a result of parental feedback.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a wide range of experiences and resources for children to reflect and value diversity. For example, she supports their understanding as they regularly visit local stay-and-play groups and the library. During circle time, the childminder talks about different festivals and children thoroughly enjoy using chopsticks while eating noodles. She supports them very well to be independent and confident. For example, children choose for themselves from a wide range of toys, take off their painting aprons and confidently serve their own snacks. The childminder is very responsive to the needs of the children and follows their needs and interests very well. For example, she has provided more puzzles for the children who particularly enjoy them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have formed very close relationships with the childminder. They settle straight away and busily look for the activities they really enjoy. Children are emotionally secure. They are confident in social situations and show others what they can do. For example, they eagerly show the bubbles they blow and the marks they make during printing. Children behave very well and they consistently engage in a range of activities that the childminder provides. The childminder's good standards of care and hygiene practices support the care needs of younger children.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children learn new skills that prepare them well for the next stages of their learning. They use mathematical language during their play. For example, children confidently count to 10 as they learn to thread cotton reels on a length of cord. Children respond to the childminder's instructions well. Young children babble and use single words to express themselves and communicate their needs. They show good levels of understanding and are keen to demonstrate what they know and can do.
