This provision is good

n The childminder monitors children's progress effectively. She and her co-childminder work closely with the families, to ensure parents are kept up to date with children's progress. n The childminder and her co-childminder establish extremely positive and respectful relationships with children and support their emotional well-being superbly.

focus deeply enough on all the areas for improvement, to further raise outcomes for children. n The childminder asks children relevant questions to build on their interest but does not always allow them enough time to think through their ideas and respond.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is aware of the indicators that a child is being drawn into extreme ideas and views, and she knows the procedures to follow if she has any concerns. She knows what to do in the event of an allegation being made against her or her co-childminder. The childminder and her co-childminder regularly access training to improve their skills and knowledge. The childminder meets with other local childminders to share ideas, gain support and advice. The childminder fully involves parents in their children's care and learning in the setting. She works closely in partnership with them and supports them to continue their children's learning at home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder encourages children to explore and investigate a wide range of textures and materials. For example, children use their hands to mix small-world animals in the mud and leaves, and then confidently wash the animals using containers and fresh water. Children are sociable and confident as they make connections in their play. For example, after visiting the farm, children squeeze a plastic glove filled with water and imagine they are milking a cow. This helps children to learn about the wider world. The childminder works closely to support older children to count and to recognise numbers from one to 20, as they explore the resources in their immediate environment.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder pays meticulous attention to safety. She identifies risks and ensures all necessary measures are in place to minimise hazards. The childminder supports children's independence and self-care skills extremely well. For instance, older children are highly confident. They take responsibility for their own care needs and eagerly help with routine tasks, such as tidying and cleaning, without being prompted. The childminder encourages children to 'have a go' at new challenges and helps them to work through to a successful completion. Children learn to rapidly assess and manage small risks safely. The childminder promotes excellent hygiene practices. For example, she is extremely skilful in using mealtimes to extend children's excellent understanding about the importance and benefits of eating healthy food and of knowing what foods are healthy and what foods are not good for them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. Older children build their physical skills well. For example, they draw with felt-tip pens and attempt to write the letters in their name. Children successfully keep their attention and interest in activities. They develop their literacy skills and early reading effectively. For instance, older children confidently retell stories, as they pretend to read from home-made books, with pictures of their friends and themselves.
