p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder is committed to providing children and their families with a good- quality service. She plans and organises her home environment to ensure that every child receives an enjoyable and challenging learning and development experience.  The childminder understands how young children learn. She plans activities and uses information from assessments to support children to make good progress in their learning and development. This contributes to the good progress that children make.  The friendly and caring childminder demonstrates that she enjoys spending time with the children, which helps them to feel emotionally secure when in her care.  The childminder supports children to learn how to play cooperatively together, share and take turns. This contributes towards children's good behaviour.  The childminder responds well to young children's attempts to make conversation, supporting them to develop their early communication skills.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder has not explored all methods to help support parents to extend their children's learning at home.  Although self-evaluation is in place, the childminder does not always effectively support parents to share their views, to improve the quality of provision.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a good understanding of the signs and symptoms that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. She is fully aware of who to contact should she have child protection concerns. The well- qualified childminder is committed to continually developing her early years knowledge and skills. This helps her to meet children's care and learning needs effectively. She has established links with the local school to further support children's learning and development. Parents make very positive and complimentary comments about the childminder.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder sits and plays with the children, talking to them about what they are doing. This helps develop their speaking and listening skills. She asks older children questions, which encourage them to think about their play and use their imagination. Children enjoy independently accessing resources to support their learning and development. For example, older children complete number jigsaws, which help them to develop their understanding of mathematical concepts.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Independence is well promoted through following simple tasks, such as hand washing before snack. Children meet other adults and children when the childminder takes them to local community groups and meets with other childminders in the area. This helps to develop children's social skills in different situations, preparing them well for their eventual move on to school. Children get plenty of exercise in the childminder's garden and on frequent visits to local play areas. The childminder promotes good, healthy lifestyles and children learn about where food comes from. For example, they take part in growing vegetables during the warmer months. The childminder teaches children about different festivals and celebrations from around the world. This helps them to recognise and value differences in themselves and others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning in relation to their starting points. They show high levels of motivation and confidence and are working well within the typical range of development for their age. Children concentrate well and have great fun using their imagination as they make pretend pizzas. Their mathematical calculating skills develop exceptionally well, as they begin to count the pieces of pizza and share them equally. Children learn key skills in readiness for their move on to nursery or school.
