p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder engages well with children in different activities. She uses her knowledge and understanding of children's individual needs to provide experiences that stimulate their curiosity. This helps to encourage and motivate children to learn. n Children are happy and settled. They seek the childminder out for support if needed, and show that they feel confident and emotionally secure in her care. n The childminder evaluates and considers what she does well. She seeks the views of parents and children, which helps inform her of any areas in need of improvement or change. In addition, she identifies training to improve her skills. This enables her to maintain good standards. n Children make good progress from their starting points. The childminder promotes children's communication, physical and social skills well. n The childminder uses praise effectively. For example, she celebrates children's

achievements and builds their self-esteem.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Occasionally, the childminder misses opportunities to use mathematical language alongside children's play to further their progress. n Although the childminder has good systems in place to assess children's learning overall, at times she does not consistently give equal consideration to all the areas of learning to enable children to make even better progress.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder is well organised. She implements a clear range of policies and procedures that helps children to feel safe and secure. She has a good understanding of her role in protecting children from harm. The well-qualified childminder understands the procedures to follow should she have any child protection concerns. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder identifies potential risks and hazards, and steps are taken by the childminder to minimise these. This helps to keep children safe, indoors and outside. The childminder shares relevant information with parents, including documents to share with other professionals. This helps her to promote and develop a consistent approach to children's learning. Parents are complimentary about the childminder's service. For instance, parents say they are well informed of their children's progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder helps babies to develop their physical skills. For example, she holds onto their hands and supports them as they learn to walk. The childminder plans enjoyable activities that are linked to children's likes and interests. The childminder places a strong emphasis on communication and language. For example, she talks to young children and repeats words regularly. She encourages children to look at books. This helps them to develop their literacy skills. The childminder gives children time to work things out for themselves. For example, she demonstrates using peg puzzles and skilfully praises their effort to persevere. Children have access to a wide range of resources. They are inquisitive and select toys that interest them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children benefit from the consistent daily routines. This helps them to build trust and feel secure. For example, children sleep in the same room that is familiar to them and settle quickly. Children grow in their understanding of the benefits of healthy eating. For instance, the childminder talks about the importance of fresh fruit and vegetables. In addition, the childminder provides opportunities for children to regularly enjoy fresh air and encourages them to be active. Children grow in their confidence. They develop their muscles as they climb in and over equipment. For example, they confidently access a tub filled with balls. They use their hands to throw the balls up in the air. This helps to build their sense of achievement. Children have frequent opportunities to socialise with others and behave well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress in their learning and development. They are developing the skills they need for their next stage in learning and move on to school. Toddlers learn about technology. They press different parts of a book, and enjoy listening to the sounds it makes. Children have plenty of opportunities to explore different textures. They enjoy making pictures from feathers and paints.
