p.1
The provision is good
n Children make good progress from their starting points. They develop their physical skills particularly well. The childminder successfully supports their small-muscle development, such as through messy play activities, and helps children learn to use tools to explore with good control. n The childminder reflects on the quality of her practice well. She accurately recognises her setting's strengths and areas she wants to improve, and has a clear action plan to help her make improvements as needed. n Children have good opportunities to learn about diversity. For instance, the childminder plans interesting craft activities which reflect different festivals that people in the community celebrate. Children successfully learn about and value other's similarities and differences. n The childminder forms effective partnerships with parents. She works with them well when their children first start her setting and gathers detailed information about what

children can do to help inform her plans for their learning from the outset.
p.1
It is not yet outstanding because:
n On occasion, the childminder does not encourage children to make their own choices in their play to help enhance their growing independence. n At times, the childminder misses opportunities to encourage children to use their home languages in their play to assist their language development even further.

p.2
Effectiveness of leadership and management is good
Safeguarding is effective. The childminder implements effective policies and procedures to keep children safe. She is fully aware of her duty to protect children and knows how to report her concerns if she suspects a child is at risk of harm. She seeks and acts on feedback from others, such as other early years professionals, to help her improve the quality of her provision. The childminder develops her skills effectively, such as through completing training, to help improve her practice and provide children with good-quality care and experiences. She implements effective systems to check on children's progress, helping her identify and address any gaps in their learning.
p.3
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good
Children confidently play in a well-organised, interesting environment. They enjoy imaginative experiences, such as while engaging in pretend play with baby dolls. They develop their creative skills well, learn to think of ideas and are imaginative. The childminder interacts with children well. For instance, she joins in with their play and questions them effectively to encourage children to share their ideas and communicate while they play. She assesses children's abilities well. She observes them regularly, knows what they can do and plans age-appropriate activities to successfully extend their learning. Children have good opportunities to develop their confidence and social skills with others, such as during outings to the local playgroups.
p.3
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good
Children are happy. The childminder is approachable and friendly, and supports their emotional well-being effectively. She helps children learn about healthy lifestyles and effectively supports their physical well-being. For example, she provides children with nutritious foods and offers opportunities for children to be active, such as using ride-on toys outdoors. Children develop good balance and physical skills. Children behave well. The childminder acts as a good role model for children and helps them to learn how to behave positively. For instance, children learn to say 'thank you' and learn to talk to others politely. The childminder regularly assesses risks in all areas that children use, to identify and remove any hazards.
p.3
Outcomes for children are good
All children make good progress and learn a range of skills that prepares them well for their future learning and eventually for the move on to school. Toddlers learn to walk confidently, enjoy babbling and begin to say words. Older children communicate clearly and listen attentively. They learn to use words to describe capacity and develop their early mathematical skills well. Children learn to handle books and enjoy talking about stories.
