p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn and develop. She tracks children's progress from the outset, and identifies and addresses any gaps in learning. As a result, children all make typical progress from their starting points and are working within expected levels for their ages and stages in development. n The childminder is passionate about her role and evaluates her provision well. She takes into account the views of parents and other professionals, and strives to provide the best service she can. n Children are well settled with the childminder and they show well-established relationships with her. They demonstrate that they feel emotionally secure and show good levels of well-being. n The childminder acts as a positive role model for children and provides them with praise to boost their self-esteem and confidence in their own abilities. As a result, children confidently explore the varied learning opportunities provided.

The provision is good

n The childminder provides a warm and welcoming environment for children and their families. Children thrive in her care and learn to value each other.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Sometimes, during play, the childminder does not make the most of all opportunities to extend children's learning, based on their emerging needs and interests. n Children are not provided with a wide enough range of opportunities to enhance their awareness of people's similarities and differences, beyond their immediate environment.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder has a clear understanding of how to improve her practice and enhance her provision. She uses additional funding well to develop all areas of her provision and give all children new experiences to encourage their development. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder implements policies and procedures to safeguard children and she is well trained in child protection. The childminder understands her role in reporting any concerns she has for children's welfare, in line with the local authority process. Children are safe in the provision due to careful risk assessments. They are also becoming aware of their own risks in play and how to manage them independently. The childminder works closely with other professionals and her co-childminder to share assessment information and support children's next stages in learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children well and understands how they need to develop next. She plans a wide range of activities to suit all children's ages and capabilities, and shows good teaching skills and use of questioning during play. Children often use mathematical language during activities. For example, they count the pasta they thread onto string, practise pouring and filling, and discuss how heavy the sand is on their spades. Children are confident to explore their environment, both indoors and in the large, inviting outdoor area. They develop good physical skills and enjoy fresh air on a daily basis. The childminder works closely with parents and they comment on their consistent involvement in their children's development. Children develop early literacy skills as they enjoy singing and looking at a variety of books with the childminder. She encourages them to answer questions and join in with other children to develop their

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is sensitive to children's individual care and developmental needs. She consistently promotes children's independence. They demonstrate good self-care skills, such as putting on their own shoes and sun hats, as well as making their own choices throughout the day. In addition, the childminder encourages children to choose the fruit they would like to eat at snack time, and to count the pieces. The childminder helps children to develop a good awareness of how to manage their own and others' feelings and behaviour. For example, during song time, they discuss different emotions and how they make them feel or react. The childminder provides children with healthy home- cooked meals daily to promote a nutritional diet.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children show they are developing skills in all areas of learning. They are motivated to start exploring as soon as they are welcomed into the setting. They set themselves challenges and use their own problem-solving skills. For example, children decide how many pasta pieces they would like, and spend time threading them onto string. They develop good finger strength and mathematical awareness. Older children are preparing for school, developing an understanding of daily routines and showing positive attitudes towards learning.
