p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder provides a warm and welcoming environment. Children easily choose from a wide range of interesting resources and toys that supports all areas of learning. They follow their own ideas well and demonstrate confidence in playing and exploring.  All children make good progress relative to their starting points.  Children benefit from the caring relationships the childminder has established with children and their families. The childminder shares information with parents to keep them well-informed about their children's experiences and learning in the setting.  The childminder is sensitive to children's preferences and personalities when meeting their physical care needs. For example, she follows the same sleep arrangements that babies enjoy at home. The childminder uses her knowledge of children well to further engage those who are more reluctant to take part in some care routines.

p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder seeks the views of parents and the local authority to help her target improvements that have a positive effect on children's outcomes. She has widened the range of outings that children enjoy based on feedback from parents.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The childminder does not sharply focus her activities on helping children achieve their individual next steps and support them to make the best possible progress.  The childminder does not make the most of opportunities for children to speak, read or listen to their home language in their play and learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder regularly updates her safeguarding knowledge. She is alert to any signs that may indicate a child protection concern. The childminder knows the reporting procedures to follow in the event of any such concern. She carries out effective risk assessments and uses the local authority safety checklists to help ensure children stay safe. The childminder develops her practice using knowledge gained in training and through links with other professionals. For example, she has strengthened her assessment procedures. She observes children closely and assesses their progress to check for any gaps in their development and identify what they need to learn next. Parents are very complimentary about the childminder's provision and practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, the childminder supports children's communication and language well. She teaches children new words, reads books and helps them to learn rhymes. The childminder effectively encourages children's imaginative play. For example, she makes suggestions and asks questions that help younger children imitate everyday actions from their own family background. The childminder supports children's early literacy and mathematics well. She encourages younger children to explore the concepts of 'full' and 'empty' as they play in the sand. The childminder encourages babies to turn the pages of books, and she successfully focuses their attention on the illustrations.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder effectively supports children's emotional and physical well-being. Children enjoy their energetic outside play each day. The childminder teaches children that vegetables are healthy and encourages children to try new textures and tastes. She encourages children's independence. For example, the childminder teaches children how to put on their own shoes. The childminder gives children lots of praise and encouragement. She teaches children to be kind to each other and behave well. Children learn to value each other's differences, such as when younger children show their understanding that babies need more time to sleep.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are gaining the skills and knowledge they need in readiness for their next stage in learning. Younger children learn to play with larger groups of children. Children who speak English as an additional language learn to speak English. Younger children notice the detailed features of objects in their environment, such as colours. They use number names in their play. Children learn how to safely manage small risks, such as when they climb on park equipment. They develop an understanding of the safe use of tools, such as when using knives to cut carrots. All children are very happy and content.
