who attend. This is good

Children are making good progress in their learning and development because the childminder supports their learning effectively. She provides an enabling and vibrant learning environment, where there are lots of opportunities for children to explore freely and select resources for themselves. She plans activities that stimulate and engage children, based on their interests and individual learning needs. As a result, children are continuously building key skills that support their future learning. For example, the childminder consistently encourages children to count and recognise colours through song and story times. She encourages children's language development as she engages with them in regular discussions. However, she does not always make the most of opportunities to build on, or extend, children's ideas.

p.3

good

Children are clearly happy and settled in the childminder's care because she promotes their emotional well-being and physical needs well. They benefit from the close and secure attachments that that they have established with the childminder, who is kind and caring in her approach. Consequently, children are developing respect for themselves and others as they learn to share, take turns and play co-operatively together. The childminder encourages children to adopt healthy lifestyles through the provision of healthy meals and snacks. She devises weekly menus, taking into account children's individual dietary needs, and she makes drinks freely available to children. The childminder is meticulous with regards to hygiene and maintaining a healthy environment for children. Her home is well maintained; she regularly cleans the equipment and she has effective procedures in place for changing nappies, to prevent the spread of cross infection.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder is well organised and manages her setting well. She is secure in her knowledge of child protection procedures, including recognising possible signs that indicate that a child may be at risk. The childminder demonstrates a strong commitment towards continuous improvement and professional development; she regularly reflects her practice and she manages her assistants' performance to identify any training needs. She has successfully addressed the actions and recommendations from the last inspection, which has had a positive impact on the quality of the provision for children. Effective partnerships with parents contribute positively towards the quality of care and learning children receive.
