p.1

The provision is good

n Children make good progress in their learning and development. The childminder is knowledgeable and tracks children's progress well. She uses the information gained from her observations to plan effectively for children's next steps in their learning. n Children are happy and settled. The childminder gets to know the children well and forms strong bonds with them. She finds out about children's interests and preferences when they first start. This helps children to settle quickly. n Children learn to independently manage their own care needs, such as using the toilet or potty and washing their hands afterwards. This promotes their confidence and good hygiene procedures. n Partnerships with parents are good. The childminder encourages a daily exchange of information regarding children's care and learning. Parents are complimentary about the childminder and the service that she provides. n The childminder is keen to develop her service. She acts on advice and talks to other

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Occasionally, children do not have opportunities to learn new skills and think further, as the childminder intervenes too quickly. n The childminder does not maximise opportunities to share information about children's learning and development with other early years settings where children also attend.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of her responsibility to protect children. She completes training in child protection and the wider aspects of safeguarding children. This has strengthened her knowledge and understanding. As a result, she is confident in her ability to take swift action should the need arise, to report any concerns about the welfare of a child in her care. The childminder reflects on her practice and encourages parents to share their views about her provision. Partnerships with the local school that children attend are good. The childminder liaises with the teachers regarding children's development needs. This helps to prepare children with the move to school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The qualified childminder is very enthusiastic in her role and in her interactions with children. Children have positive attitudes towards their play and learning. They are inquisitive and remain focused for long periods of time. For example, children enjoy creative activities and role play. Children are keen to embrace a well-known story and show their good awareness of familiar refrains. During play and activities, the childminder models counting and names numerals and shapes, promoting children's mathematical development. Children enthusiastically become involved in singing sessions. This inspires their language and communication skills well. The childminder makes good use of everyday routines, such as lunchtime, to support children's learning. For example, children select their own choice of plates naming the colour they choose.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident and eager in their play. They confidently negotiate space and move around in different ways. For example, children jump on mats eagerly. This helps to build on their coordination and physical skills. The childminder is a positive role model and gives children clear and consistent guidance about her expectations for their behaviour, helping them to behave well. Children use good manners and enjoy involving the childminder in their play. The childminder helps children to achieve a healthy lifestyle, for example, eating healthy foods and washing their hands before mealtimes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in the childminder's care. They are working comfortably within the range of development typical for their age. They explore their surroundings with confidence and communicate their needs well. Children show good levels of concentration and spend extended time playing with toys of their own choice. They enjoy stories, sing songs independently, and keenly embrace imaginative play. Children are well prepared with the skills they will need for future learning.
