p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder identifies areas for improvement and evaluates her own service regularly. She uses the views of parents and children to help her make decisions about how to develop her practice further. In addition, she seeks advice from other professionals to help enhance the setting. n Children are encouraged to explore actively the stimulating environment the childminder provides. As a result, children engage in both planned and spontaneous learning experiences. n The childminder skilfully and consistently reminds children how to play cooperatively with each other and share resources. Children are respectful towards each other and their behaviour is good. Older children often invite younger children to play with them and they role model sharing. n The childminder establishes children's developmental stages from the start, with input from their parents, and follows their progress regularly.

learning and plans suitable next steps to ensure these are tackled swiftly.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n On occasion, during play, the childminder does not swiftly identify the emerging needs or interests of children, to help extend their individual learning further. n The childminder does not provide children with a wide enough variety of opportunities to support their understanding of the similarities and differences of other people beyond their immediate experiences.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder attends training regularly and works with her co-childminder to develop her practice and knowledge. She has robust child protection and safety policies in place and understands her role in protecting children from harm. She knows where to report any welfare concerns. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder provides a safe environment for children to learn in and encourages them to understand and take their own manageable risks during play. In addition, children understand healthy lifestyles and they wash their hands after toileting and before eating. The childminder promotes positive learning attitudes within the setting and supports children's next stages in learning, such as the transition to school. The childminder shares assessment information with other professionals appropriately.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn and develop. She regularly observes children and uses this information to plan suitably challenging activities. During play, the childminder questions children appropriately to support their thinking in a range of learning areas. Partnerships with parents are well established. The childminder discusses their children's progress and involves them in assessment from the start. The childminder uses any additional funding to enhance her already stimulating environment. As a result, children all make good progress. The childminder models language well and encourages children to extend their vocabulary and communication skills. For example, during a role-play activity, children are encouraged to talk in their own words about their past experiences of visits to the doctor.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder ensures children spend time in the well-equipped, open-plan outdoor area. Children enjoy the fresh air and opportunities to increase their physical skills. Children independently explore their environment and use their thinking skills to create games and challenges according to their own interests. The childminder promotes children's sense of self-esteem, giving them praise and motivating them to make their own decisions. They take pride in their own abilities and achievements. Children are kind and caring towards each other and the childminder, and they develop friendships. The childminder works closely with parents to keep care consistent between home and the setting, and discusses any individual care needs they may require. The childminder is sensitive to all children's personal wishes and feelings. As a result, children's emotional well-being is well supported.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy using technology and mathematics during play. For example, they skilfully use a remote control to navigate a robot around the room. They work together and use language to describe its movements. Children are very confident and settled with the childminder and within their play environment.
