p.1

This provision is good

 Children participate in a good range of challenging learning experiences. They are eager to join in with activities and develop key personal, language and social skills, in preparation for eventually moving on to school.  The childminder has a warm and welcoming approach. Children enjoy affectionate relationships with her and are very relaxed in her company. They confidently explore their surroundings and make decisions about their play.  The childminder promotes children's developing speech well. For example, she introduces new vocabulary and shows children how to make mouth movements to enable them to pronounce words correctly.  The childminder works well with parents to promote continuity of children's learning and care. She exchanges information with them about children's interests and achievements at home, and uses this to inform her planning effectively.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Sometimes, the childminder does not organise planned activities as incisively as possible to ensure that younger children are fully involved and participating.  Although the childminder completes essential training, her programme of professional development does not precisely focus on developing her good teaching skills to the highest levels.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The dedicated childminder is committed to continually developing her service. She reflects on her provision well to identify some clear targets for improvement. For instance, she plans to attend toddler groups to help children to build positive relationships with other people in the community. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a good understanding of the possible indicators of abuse and knows how to report any concerns to the relevant authorities. She completes thorough risk assessments to minimise potential hazards and effectively maintain a safe environment. The childminder has established good links with local schools. She shares relevant information with teaching staff to promote continuity in children's care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The qualified childminder knows children well and tracks their progress efficiently. This enables her to effectively identify and target any gaps in their learning. She makes good use of her accurate assessments to plan precisely for children's next steps. Children enjoy dressing up and excitedly use tools to hammer and drill as they pretend to be builders. The childminder enthusiastically plays alongside children to ignite their imaginations and introduce a narrative into their play. She makes the most of opportunities that arise to teach children about shape, number and size. The childminder is supportive and provides children with clear guidance to help them to solve problems and complete puzzles independently.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder interacts warmly to teach children to be kind and considerate to others. She continually praises children to celebrate their achievements and increase their self- esteem. Children are cooperative and well behaved. They have a wonderful time playing catch with the childminder and throw the ball back and forth with accuracy. The childminder promotes healthy lifestyles well. She offers daily opportunities for children to play outdoors and engages them in invigorating movement sessions. Children enjoy nutritious meals and snacks to endorse healthy eating habits.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning and development. They are confident in new situations and are keen to talk about what they like to do. Children develop good mathematical skills. For example, they count in sequence, name simple shapes and talk about the meaning of 'full' and 'empty'. Children join in with songs and excitedly copy the actions, pointing to different parts of their body. They play cooperatively together and share resources well.
