p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder observes children as they play. She plan a range of activities that enables children to take the next steps in their development.

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of her role and responsibility to safeguard children's welfare. She demonstrates a suitable knowledge of how to respond to any concerns about children who may be at risk of harm from extreme views and behaviour. The childminder completes mandatory training, such as paediatric first aid. She supervises children well and implements effective risk assessments to help minimise risks to children. This helps to ensure their safety and welfare as they play. The childminder takes positive steps to develop her skills. She uses the knowledge gained to improve outcomes for children. The childminder works with parents to establish effective routines, which helps children to settle quickly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder promotes children's language skills well. For example, she models words clearly and initiates many purposeful discussions. The childminder helps children to develop problem-solving skills and use mathematical language during their self-chosen play. For example, young children count as they build towers and work together to complete a puzzle. Children draw pictures and give meanings to their marks. They develop a love for books and listen intently as the childminder reads to them. This helps to promote their early literacy skills. The childminder monitors children's progress effectively, to swiftly identify and close any gaps in learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder offers a welcoming, home-from-home environment. Children have regular opportunities to play outside in the fresh air and exercise. For example, during daily trips to local parks and play areas. The childminder ensures that children learn about their own safety. For example, she teaches them how to cross roads safely. The childminder helps children to learn to respect each other and gain an understanding of other cultures and religions. Children develop an understanding of their local area, such as visits to the local shops. They learn to put on their hats, coats and shoes and develop confidence in their individual abilities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children clearly have fun and genuinely enjoy the warm interactions with the childminder. They dance and sing popular rhymes with great enthusiasm. This helps to develop their expressive arts. Children listen to the childminder and respond well to her high expectations and the boundaries she sets. They learn to play well with others and can share and take turns with minimal support. Children gain valuable skills for their future learning, such as nursery or school.
