This provision is good

n Children's behaviour is excellent. They have exemplary social skills and are extremely kind to each other. They learn to use good manners as they know the behaviour expected of them. The childminder is a superb role model. For instance, she reminds children to share and be considerate of others. n Overall, children receive effective support for their learning and they make good progress. The childminder interacts positively with them and supports their speech and language development well. For example, she sings and plays games with babies and they smile and babble in response.

The childminder supports their social and emotional development well and they are happy and relaxed in her home. Children develop the confidence to explore the toys

and activities on offer and enjoy their play. n Partnerships with parents and other early years providers are outstanding. The childminder exchanges information with parents and has developed close links with other settings children attend. Children benefit from consistent support from all those involved in their care and learning needs. n The childminder's professional development plans are not focused enough on raising the quality of teaching to secure even higher outcomes for children. n Occasionally, the childminder does not provide high enough levels of challenge, specifically for the older and most-able children in order to ensure they benefit from the best learning opportunities.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good understanding of the requirements of the early years foundation stage and ensures that she is meeting these at all times. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a good understanding of the possible signs and symptoms of abuse. The childminder is reflective. She works closely with the local authority to ensure that she keeps up to date with any changes in legislation or good practice and shares this information with her assistant. The childminder monitors children's progress to ensure that they meet the appropriate milestones for their age. Her regular written summaries of children's development are shared with parents.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children's learning and development needs are generally fully supported. The childminder uses her observations and assessments to effectively identify children's future learning needs. She plans activities, taking into account children's interests and learning styles. Children show high levels of concentration and perseverance when completing games, such as investigating with bubbles. The childminder supports children well with their early communication and language skills. She talks to them constantly, asking questions and encouraging them to sing along to familiar songs and rhymes, such as when using the music wall in the garden. During play, the childminder skilfully supports children's mathematical skills. For instance, children look at what happens when fruit is cut in half and compare the number of pieces.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder intuitively and sensitively supports children's personal needs exceptionally well. She encourages them to become independent in dressing and when using the bathroom, and praises them. The childminder promotes children's understanding about the benefits of drinking water and explains how it helps their bodies. Children develop an excellent understanding of sun safety. This is one of the many ways that the childminder encourages children to be healthy. Children are calm and settled in the childminder's company. They quickly develop superb relationships with her and parents say how happy children are in her care. In turn, the childminder shows children genuine affection, which helps to increase their sense of well-being. Children explore the activities on offer and can make choices about what and how they play. The childminder encourages children to be polite and to be aware of the feelings of others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning from their individual starting points. They are confident and display high levels of self-esteem as they busily play with their favourite toys. Children cooperate well with daily routines and help the childminder, passing her wipes and helping to tidy up. They are starting to use language to make connections. This shows that they understand language well. Children are developing important skills that they need to be ready for moving on in their learning and for starting school.
