p.1

This provision is good

 Children develop good levels of independence and confidence. They learn skills that will help them progress and prepare for the next stage in their learning.  The childminder reflects on and evaluates her practice well. She has effective monitoring systems to help identify any gaps in children's development early and provide the appropriate support.  The childminder keeps up to date with government guidelines and practice changes well, and shares this information with parents.  The childminder builds effectively on children's developing self-confidence and supports their emotional well-being. Children are happy and flourish in the safe environment.  The childminder encourages children's mathematical development well. For example, children learn to count confidently.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not consistently provide opportunities for children to develop and value their own and others' cultural identity.  At times, the childminder does not make the most of daily routines to extend the children's learning even further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has effective partnerships with parents and other professionals. For example, she shares strategies such as using two spoons to feed a baby to help them get ready for feeding themselves. She successfully obtains the views of children and parents to help develop her setting and her practice further. Parents comments that they like the many outings the childminder takes the children on. The good settling-in procedures help her plan for children's progress immediately. The childminder attends training and conducts her own research to extend her knowledge of how children learn. For example, she now takes into consideration children's preferences and incorporates these into her planning. The childminder has a good knowledge of what to do and whom to contact if she has a concern about a child's welfare. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children well and interacts positively to support their learning. She extends children's vocabularies effectively. For example, she introduces rhyming words, such as 'tummy' and 'mummy'. Children learn how things work, for instance, when they use toys that react when buttons are pressed. The childminder has lots of resources for children to experiment with early writing skills. For example, children explore paints and chalks.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is a good role model and uses a calm voice and positive praise. Children's behaviour is good. Children are taught to take turns and share. They are treated with respect. The childminder supports children well to understand how to keep safe and manage risk. For example, children know the risks of getting fingers trapped in doors and how to be careful. The childminder supports children well to keep healthy and safe. Children are beginning to be aware of the needs of others. For example, a child stroked a baby's arm to comfort her. Children develop warm and secure attachments to the childminder. The childminder encourages children to choose activities and supports them to become motivated learners.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop a good range of practical skills and enjoy the world through a wide range of interesting experiences. Children's physical abilities develop well, for example, when they play on large equipment. They develop good social skills and they visit toddler groups, the park, the library, soft-play centres and go on outings with the childminder. Children learn mathematical language, such as 'lots' and 'more'. They learn to be self- sufficient from an early age and manage small tasks on their own. They make good progress in their learning from their starting points.
