p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder observes and assesses children's learning well. She uses this information to plan opportunities for children to learn and to help them make good progress. n Children settle well within the childminder and her assistant's care. They display a strong sense of belonging at the home and move around independently to explore. n Partnerships with parents are good. Parents provide positive written feedback about the childminder's services. For example, they praise the close relationships children form with the childminder and the frequent information they receive about children's care and learning. n The childminder and her assistant work well together to implement the daily routines and they ensure children have a positive experience. They complete regular health and safety checks to provide a safe environment for children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n At times, the childminder does not skilfully encourage children to try new experiences and does not give them sufficient time to persevere at activities that they find difficult, to strengthen their overall development. n The childminder misses some opportunities during children's play to challenge and extend their learning further. For instance, she does not support children well enough to develop their grasp and early mark-making skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistant have a secure understanding of child protection issues and the procedures to report any concerns, including allegations, to the relevant authorities. The childminder shares with parents her safeguarding policies and procedures to make them aware of what to expect from her services. The childminder and her assistant regularly evaluate the provision and they closely monitor each other's practice. They share new ideas and information to help enhance their knowledge and skills successfully. The childminder tracks children's progress well and she knows how to seek support from other professionals, when necessary, to close gaps in their development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and her assistant provide a wide range of activities and allow children to explore freely. Children are clear about their likes and dislikes. They often spend a long time exploring with resources that are of interest to them to support their development. For example, children learn to use their imaginations well when pretending to drive dumper trucks around the room. Children learn to operate technology, such as pushing buttons on toys and repeating different sounds and words. The assistant interacts with children and supports their language development effectively. For example, he pronounces new words clearly for them to copy and learn. Younger children begin to show an interest in books. For example, they happily turn the pages and look at the images.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop close attachments with the childminder and her assistant. They welcome them to join their activities and know when to seek their support. The childminder encourages children to manage small responsibilities on their own, such as choosing their play and feeding themselves. She arranges regular visits to the children's centre for them to meet other children and to help develop their social skills. The childminder plans opportunities to support children's awareness of different people and transport within the community. For example, children enjoy trips to the local train station and they learn about trains. Children behave well. For example, they listen and show respect to others. The childminder and her assistant act as positive role models and they teach children good manners. For example, they use 'please' and 'thank you' at appropriate times.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and develop a wide range of skills to help with the next stage in their learning. For example, younger children learn to express their interests and needs well. They develop their self-confidence and begin to identify different parts of their face. Children are active. They develop their mobility and learn to balance small blocks on top of each other.
