p.1

The provision is good

n Children's behaviour shows that they feel secure in the care of the childminder and her assistants. Children naturally go to them for comfort and reassurance. They regularly provide children with praise and encouragement to boost their self-esteem. n The childminder provides good support for her assistants and they deploy themselves well to provide effective care and supervision for children. n The childminder works effectively with her co-childminder. They carry out regular observations and assessments to ensure there are no gaps in children's development. All children make good progress. n Children are happy and confident to explore the welcoming environment. They choose freely from a good range of resources that is suitable for their age and level of development. n The childminder evaluates her provision effectively. She seeks the views of parents and her co-childminder to help make improvements in raising children's outcomes.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n The childminder does not consistently give children enough time to share their own ideas and answer questions before she offers her own suggestions. n The childminder does not make the strongest possible links with other settings that children attend to enable them to share information about their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is fully aware of her responsibilities to keep children safe. She understands what to do if she has concerns about children's safety. She risk assesses her provision and puts carefully considered measures in place to reduce hazards. The childminder and the co-childminder have robust recruitment and induction procedures in place. They provide effective support and mentoring. For example, they provide regular supervision meetings to ensure the assistants remain suitable for their role. The childminder is keenly committed to her professional development and that of her assistants and her co-childminder. She has good relationships with parents. She shares information with them about their children's learning to ensure continuity in their care and so that children's needs are met successfully.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder identifies what children need to learn next and provides activities and experiences that they find enjoyable and interesting. She uses children's interests well. For example, she models pretend play and helps children to act out role-play scenarios as they make an imaginary rocket with the wooden blocks. The childminder promotes children's learning effectively as they play. She counts the blocks as the children build and they name familiar objects together. The childminder skilfully extends their learning. For example, she reads a book about space, which inspires children to recognise and talk about the planets in the solar system.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder has effective settling-in procedures. She gathers detailed information from parents to help her understand and meet children's individual needs well. Children build secure attachments to the childminder and her assistants. They are positive role models and children quickly settle into their care. They learn to be kind and caring towards each other, share and take turns. The childminder supports children effectively to develop an understanding of healthy lifestyles, and provides a range of healthy meals and snacks. Children have opportunities to be active and explore. For example, they run around, climb, play on wheeled toys and enjoy exploring sand and water in the garden.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are motivated and eager to learn. They develop the skills they need to help them to progress to the next stage of their learning. Children work well together, sharing ideas and listening to others. Children develop an interest in books. They look at them independently and listen attentively when stories are read to them. Children are beginning to develop good relationships with other children and adults.
