p.1

The provision is good

n The quality of teaching is consistently strong. Planning takes account of children's interests and learning is promoted through consistently skilful questioning. Activities are interesting, challenging and motivate children to learn. n Communication and language skills are developed effectively in all interactions between the childminder and children. Children delight in joining in with stories as they develop their literacy skills. n Parents are well informed about their children's learning and achievements. The childminder encourages parents to contribute and share information about children's learning at home. n The key-person system is effective. Children form secure attachments and their well- being is consistently promoted. n Children are well prepared for the next steps in their learning, including starting school. They are keen learners.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n The childminder does not use the information gained from assessment of children's progress to plan precisely for children's next steps in learning. n At times, the childminder does not give children enough opportunities to build confidence in their own abilities and support them to be more independent.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder provides a safe, secure and stimulating environment. She recognises the signs and symptoms of abuse and knows what to do if she is concerned about a child's welfare. The childminder has high expectations of all children and provides a curriculum that is interesting and demanding. Children behave well and listen carefully to others. The views and contributions of parents are valued and respected. The childminder is ambitious and reflective. She recognises areas for improvement and effectively manages her own professional development. She liaises effectively with other settings when children move on to ensure children settle in quickly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The learning environment is vibrant and interesting. The childminder skilfully follows children's interests and is reactive to emerging fascinations. Children consistently work purposefully for prolonged periods of time as they explore their interests and learn new skills. For example, children learn about size and shape as they experiment with pebbles, water and different sized containers. They begin to understand changes over time as they find out about autumn and collect different coloured leaves. The childminder listens perceptively to children and efficiently promotes knowledge and understanding of the world. Children show high levels of engagement, such as when they make porridge in the outdoor kitchen. They use their imagination and thrive as their ideas and skills are sensitively developed.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's emotional well-being is promoted at every opportunity. Children feel safe in the environment and delight in expressing their emotions. For example, they make up songs and sing out loud as they concentrate on their work. Children are confident to talk to visitors and show off their work with pride. The childminder helps children to manage their own personal hygiene needs. Children settle into the setting with ease due to the strong skills of the childminder and her commitment to working with parents. Children consistently use good manners and take account of other people's views. They learn about keeping healthy as they play outdoors and eat healthy snacks. Parents comment positively about the care their children receive.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good or better progress given their starting points. They demonstrate a positive attitude towards learning, expressing their enjoyment of activities through laughter and vocal exclamations. They express a strong exploratory impulse and the childminder supports them to test out their ideas. Children make predictions as they listen to stories and begin to recognise rhyme as they fill in the missing words of a rhyming story. They develop the key skills they need for future learning and are well prepared for the move to school.
