p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder uses effective assessment systems to develop an accurate understanding of the progress children are making. She includes parents well in these to develop a wider understanding of children's interests and achievements. n The childminder forms strong relationships with other providers of the early years foundation stage to ensure continuity for the children. n Children progress well from their starting points and achieve typical outcomes for their ages.

views of children, parents and other professionals.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n The childminder does not always prioritise the areas of learning which are most suited to children's ages and abilities in her plans of what she wants them to achieve next. n The childminder works well in partnership with parents to support children's learning. However, there are times when she does not establish consistent routines with parents to support children's personal development.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder displays confidence in her knowledge of how to recognise if a child's welfare is at risk and has a good understanding of how to act if a concern arises. She implements this knowledge in her practice to ensure she remains vigilant and to keep children safe. The childminder is very proactive in continuing her ongoing professional development. She uses a range of effective strategies to enable her to keep improving as a practitioner, this includes learning about her strengths and weaknesses from other childminders and building on these. The childminder continually develops her knowledge of how to meet children's needs. Recent training has helped her to improve how she supports toddlers' learning through their play.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses her teaching skills well to support children's development. This includes asking well-worded questions to help children develop their own ideas on which she builds on further. For example, she questions children to see what they would like to make using the construction kits. She encourages them to consider their own ideas about how to do this and what it will look like. The childminder shows skill in promoting children's language development. For example, when she talks to children about what they can see in pictures, she models and repeats vocabulary well. Children later use the words they have learned in the correct context. The childminder ensures that children have good opportunities to recognise and accept the differences that exist between people.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children successfully to help them to feel secure in her care. Children show confidence and independence, demonstrating this with behaviours, such as engaging intently in their play or communicating their wishes with ease. The childminder prepares children well for when they move on to other settings, including school. For example, she ensures they are familiar with the new setting by taking them to see the building and to meet the staff. The childminder provides children with good opportunities to develop their social skills. For instance, children enjoy regular visits to playgroups and begin to build friendships.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Young children become increasingly vocal and express their views with confidence. They learn to put words together in sentences. Children develop skills to support them in their future learning, including those which encourage their early writing. For example, when they use the chalk they realise that they have made marks on the board. Children show an interest in numbers and counting. They often count as they play and enjoy singing number rhymes, which helps them learn to say the numbers in order.
