p.1
The provision is good
n The childminder is warm and welcoming in her nature, and acts as a good role model to children. Children happily engage in activities and behave well. They understand the rules and boundaries in place. n Children make good progress in their learning. The childminder knows children well and has a good understanding of their individual learning styles. Planning is concise and takes account of children's individual interests and their next steps in learning. n She completes observations and tracks children's learning and development regularly. This helps her to know about children's progress and their next steps, and to spot any gaps in their development. n Through written references and thank you cards, parents express high levels of satisfaction with the care and education that the childminder provides. n The childminder supports children to attend to their own personal care routines. They learn about the importance of following good handwashing routines. Children

independently use the toilet, politely letting her know where they are going.
p.1
It is not yet outstanding because:
n Partnerships with parents are not developed as fully as possible to encourage the very best support for children's learning at home. n The childminder has not fully developed the links with other early years providers to share information and coordinate children's ongoing progress.

p.2
Effectiveness of leadership and management is good
Children play in a safe, secure environment. The childminder ensures that all areas of her home are maintained to a good standard of cleanliness. She has addressed the recommendations raised at her previous inspection. Children now benefit from encouragement to link sounds with letters as they play. The childminder is confident about how she would report any concerns about a child and regularly updates her knowledge. For example, she has completed courses to understand the ways children may be at risk of harm from extreme behaviours and views. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is reflective and evaluates her setting, and the learning opportunities she provides.
p.3
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good
The childminder provides interesting and enjoyable activities to challenge children's learning and development. She understands how different children learn and adapts her teaching effectively. For example, she simplifies her language for younger children, so that they can build on their developing vocabulary. The childminder monitors children's progress and plans effectively to challenge and extend their learning. She interacts well with the children and supports their learning further with questions that encourage them to think for themselves. For example, older children correctly name colours and shapes as they paint and create pictures.
p.3
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good
Children form warm and nurturing relationships from the childminder. The childminder uses her garden and walks in the local community to promote fun and learning outside. These experiences provide wonderful opportunities for children to use their physical skills. The childminder helps children to develop positive relationships with others. Children are kind to one another and are beginning to learn how to share and take turns. The childminder is effective at creating opportunities for children to learn about their own culture and those of other minded children. For instance, children who speak English as an additional language benefit from seeing their language in print within the setting.
p.3
Outcomes for children are good
Children are very happy, settled and secure in the childminder's care. They are enthusiastic learners who are keen to take part and are developing the necessary skills for their move to school. Children are acquiring good mathematical development skills. For instance, they are eager to explore shapes and numbers as they paint. They learn to manage tasks for themselves to support their independence, such as feeding themselves at mealtimes and helping to put toys away. Babies independently explore toys and press buttons to discover what will happen.
