This provision is good

 The childminder closely monitors children's development. She notes their learning priorities and plans activities based on children's current interests. As a result, children engage very well in activities and make good progress in their learning.  Children benefit from an exciting and well organised learning environment that helps to develop their curiosity and foster their independence. Children are encouraged to try to do things for themselves when they show a readiness to have a go.  Children's behaviour is managed well. The childminder and her assistant demonstrate a supportive and consistent approach to using positive strategies for behaviour management. They focus on gaining children's cooperation and offering them appropriate choices. This helps to prevent behaviour issues and promotes good behaviour.  Children and parents share positive relationships with the childminder and her assistant.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although the childminder supervises her assistants well and seeks references to ensure their suitability, relevant information is not always obtained for all assistants in a timely manner  The childminder does not consistently make the most of working in partnership with parents. She notifies parents of the arrangements to leave children with an assistant, but systems do not fully demonstrate the agreement in place.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistant are clear about local safeguarding procedures and attend courses to keep up-to-date. The childminder provides a safe and secure environment and ensures children can move around her home and garden safely. The childminder is extra vigilant as younger children learn to use the steps. The childminder reflects well on her practice and receives regular support from the Barnet Childminding Team. This has helped the childminder to identify some areas to enhance the provision. Parents comment they are happy with progress their children make.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder demonstrates a good understanding of how to promote children's learning through purposeful play. She follows their lead and understands the children's individual interests and behaviour well. She pays attention to the children even if she's busy with their routines and balances active and quiet times well. The childminder continually supports children as opportunities arise through play and makes good use of what she knows from observing and assessing children's development. Children show an eagerness to play outside and activities such as, water play are planned well with interesting resources. Children use sieves to catch sharks, penguins, turtles, shrimps and jelly fish. The childminder encourages the children to count in sequence and points out how many sea animals they have caught. The childminder's assistant uses props, rhymes and songs to encourage children to participate in group activities. They enjoy singing Old

Macdonald Had a Farm and name the different animals. This supports their understanding of the world around them and develops emerging language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder and her assistant share warm and caring relationships with the children. Children are motivated and enthusiastic learners as they access an interesting range of resources and activities. They help the childminder pour away the water from the paddling pool and delight in jumping and splashing in the puddles. The childminder supports children's good physical health and well-being effectively. Food is freshly prepared and children enjoy healthy snacks of fruit. They are encouraged to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated particularly in the warmer weather. Children climb, jump and kick a ball as they enjoy the opportunities to play freely in the fresh air.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain the skills they need for future learning and their eventual move to school. They are beginning to notice simple shapes and are supported to categorise objects according to properties such as shape and size. Children become engrossed in filling and emptying different sized containers and funnels with water and concentrate for sustained periods of time. Children gain good physical skills as they use tools and equipment with increasing dexterity and confidence. Younger children explore the sensory feel of sand as they attempt to scoop sand in their hands and feel the gritty texture. Children express their needs and ideas with assurance and are forming good relationships with others.
