This provision is good

 The childminder effectively monitors children's individual progress to identify any gaps in their development. Children make good progress from their individual starting points.  Effective partnership with parents supports children continuous care and education. The childminder keeps parents updated about their child's progress and achievements. She encourages parents to share what they know to support learning.  Children build strong attachments with the childminder. She helps them to settle in and feel safe. Children are secure, happy and independent, and enjoy new learning experiences.  Good self-evaluation strategies help the childminder develop her practice and improve outcomes for children. For instance, the childminder requests feedback from parents about her service to help her regularly review how she can make improvements.  The childminder makes materials easily accessible at child height to help children make

It is not yet outstanding because:

 On occasions, the childminder does not always extend children's understanding of mathematics, to help develop children's understanding of vocabulary for numbers, weight and descriptive words, such as 'big' and 'little'.  At times, the childminder does not always offer children opportunities for exploring and experimenting with different textures to help develop their creativity.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of safeguarding procedures, including the signs that a child may be at risk of extreme views and behaviours. She carries out detailed risk assessments and removes potential hazards to help keep children safe. The childminder increases her professional development well to better support children's outcomes. For example, she completes further training and regularly meets with other childcare professionals to discuss new and recent changes to legislation and childcare practices. The childminder develops action plans alongside local authority staff to help improve practice and address any weaknesses in her provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder carries out detailed observations and assessments of children's development and uses this information to plan for their next steps in learning. The childminder helps children to learn effectively through her good-quality interactions with them. The childminder supports children's physical development well. For example, children move freely and with pleasure and confidence in a range of ways, such as walking, running and jumping. Children handle construction resources safely and with increasing control, such as fixing together train tracks. The childminder encourages children's literacy development effectively. For instance, children listen to stories, rhymes and songs, and distinguish between the different marks they make using writing tools.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children's awareness of healthy lifestyles. For example, children enjoy food and the childminder encourages them to try healthier choices. Children understand routines and they help to tidy away resources and manage their personal needs well. The childminder supports children's awareness of diversity effectively. Children feel good about themselves, their families and their communities. They learn to keep themselves safe. Children are well behaved, they listen and follow instructions, such as when they use tools. Children understand not to run inside or climb on furniture. They play with resources safely, and they share and take turns.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for their next stage in learning, including school. They want to do things independently, expressing their own preferences and interests. Children welcome and value praise for what they have done. They respond to appropriate boundaries with encouragement and support. Children understand 'who', 'what', 'where' in simple questions and some complex sentences. Those who speak English as an additional language gain the skills they need to communicate effectively.
