p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder regularly reflects on the service she provides. She gathers parents' views and ideas, and uses this information to drive forward improvements to children's learning experiences. n Children easily access a range of interesting and stimulating resources. They are supported well in becoming independent learners. All children make good progress. n The childminder works effectively with parents. She regularly provides them with help and support in extending their children's learning at home. Children benefit from the continuity in their learning. n The childminder is warm, gentle and caring. She skilfully supports children's emotional well-being. Children enjoy her company and are secure in their relationship with her. They confidently turn to her for help and support, if needed. n The childminder understands how to support the development of children across all areas of learning. She improves outcomes for children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n The childminder does not fully explore additional ways to help her build further on her skills, knowledge and practice, to help children make even better progress. n While the childminder makes regular observations about children's learning, she does not monitor their progress as consistently to help her to plan what children need to learn next.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands the signs and symptoms that may give her cause for concern about the welfare of a child in her care. She knows the procedure to follow if she has any concerns. She has made herself aware of how to identify any children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas or behaviours. The childminder carries out regular risk assessments. She uses these effectively to help her keep children safe. For example, gates prevent children from accessing stairs unsupervised.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder skilfully builds on children's immediate interests to support their learning. For example, she extends children's mathematical development as they explore time and the numbers on a clock together. Children think about their likes and dislikes as they use their emerging imaginations during play. They make a 'picnic' and confidently talk about which foods are healthy and which are not. They learn about leading a healthy lifestyle. The youngest children excitedly move to music and join in with nursery rhymes and favourite songs. Children's physical development is supported well. The childminder carefully supports children's communication and language skills. Children enjoy holding conversations and excitedly express their ideas in their own words.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are secure and settled. They behave well. Younger children are gently and carefully supported in learning how their behaviour impacts on others. The childminder provides children with well-directed praise so they know what they have achieved. Children enjoy regular, interesting outings into the local community and learn about people whose experiences may be different to their own. They delight in visiting local green spaces and drop-in groups. They learn to play in larger groups of children and develop their social skills. Children support each other's learning during activities. Older children laugh as they show younger ones how to pretend to row boats while they sing together. These skills support them in the next stage of their learning.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident, independent and self-motivated. They enjoy their learning and are keen to share this with others. For example, they eagerly explain how they keep themselves safe and well as they wash their hands before eating and after preparing the fruit they are having for snack. They use their mathematical skills as they share the pieces of fruit out equally. Younger children smile as they press buttons, making resources light up and make sounds. They delight in using their developing skills to explore technology. Children are happy and enjoy their day.
