p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder provides a well-resourced and welcoming environment. An interesting range of activities is on offer. The activities capture children's interest and help all children make good progress in their learning.  Children's emotional well-being is supported well. For example, the childminder is caring and attentive to their individual needs. Children settle quickly and the childminder closely follows their individual routines.  The childminder shares effective partnerships with other professionals to support children's individual needs and help narrow any gaps in children's learning and development.  The childminder demonstrates a strong commitment to making ongoing improvements. She has an accurate understanding of the quality of her provision and makes effective use of feedback from early years advisers, local schools and parents, to evaluate and make improvements to her service.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, children do not have sufficient time to reflect and respond to questions to develop their language and thinking skills even further.  The childminder does not always provide a wide range of activities and resources for children to learn about people and communities beyond their immediate experiences.

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 support children's outcomes better. For example, she completes further training and regularly meets with other childcare professionals to discuss new and recent changes to legislation and childcare practices. She is fully aware of the importance of continuing to build on her partnerships with other settings children attend, to support consistency in children's learning and development fully.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder observes and monitors children's progress well. She works closely with parents. They share information in several ways, such as daily discussions and electronic communication. Parents comment they are happy with the care and support their children receive. The childminder engages effectively with children during their play. For example, she helps children learn mathematical language, such as sizes, positions and shapes. Children have regular opportunities to develop their early writing skills. For instance, they use a wide range of mark-marking tools to create their own pictures.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children's awareness of healthy lifestyles. For example, she encourages them to try healthier food choices. Children understand the routines and they help to tidy away resources and manage their personal needs well. They learn to keep themselves safe, particularly about being careful on the journey back from school when crossing the road, or when going to the local park. Children are well behaved, and 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 the next stage in their 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. They are beginning to recognise the letters in their names and the numbers one to 10.
