p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder works closely with parents and encourages regular communication. She shares up-to-date information and actively encourages parents' involvement in their children's learning and development. n The childminder observes children during play, identifies their next steps in learning and makes accurate assessments of their ongoing development. She uses this information effectively to ensure she knows of any gaps in their development. n The childminder encourages positive behaviour. She reminds children of the house rules and swiftly diffuses disagreements over sharing. For example, children quickly calm down, laugh and play when she supports them to share toys together. This helps children to understand how their actions affect others and learn to manage their own feelings successfully. n Children form close and trusting relationships with the warm and caring childminder. She strives to ensure that all children are content and feel safe. Children settle very

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Occasionally, the childminder does not give children time to think about how to respond to questions and share their ideas when extending their learning further. n The childminder has not yet established a highly focused programme of professional development to drive forward future improvements to raise the quality of the provision.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has kept up to date with safeguarding issues and is confident in her knowledge of child protection issues. She is aware of the procedures to follow if concerned about a child's welfare. The childminder carries out daily checks of her home and garden and the premises are safe and secure. The childminder has positive partnerships with other early years settings that children attend to provide continuity in children's learning. She reflects on her practice, gathers parents and children's views to identify areas for development to improve her practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder interacts very positively with the children. She points to each word in the story as she reads which helps them to understand that words have meaning. The childminder supports children with their early counting skills. For example, she counts the number of shapes in the bucket while children watch with interest. The childminder supports children to develop their dexterity and their hand-to-eye coordination. She skilfully adapts activities depending on the individual stages of development for each child. She links children's current learning experiences to past learning, such as when she talks with children during role play as doctors about injections and how they help people to stay healthy.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder encourages children's understanding of healthy eating. She provides them with a healthy well-balanced snack and talk to them about how foods affect their bodies. Children develop an understanding of the wider world and they visit local parks and activity sessions. Children develop good social skills and they attend various groups within the locality. Children have good opportunities to challenge their physical skills. For example, they climb and balance on play equipment at local parks. They develop good hand-to-eye coordination and giggle as they use tweezers to pick up various pieces of plastic fruit to sort by colour.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress. They are inquisitive and engaged learners who show a growing determination in completing tasks by themselves. They have many opportunities to build on their physical well-being with lots of outdoor time. Children are learning about making healthy choices in the nutritious snacks. They can express their own needs with ease. Children are acquiring new skills for the next stages in their learning.
