who attend. This is good

Children participate in a variety of interesting activities which promote their learning and development. The childminder uses good teaching skills to engage and encourage children in their learning. She explains activities and provides a calm environment so children are able to concentrate. She helps children to recognise objects and numbers as they look at books together. She supports their mathematical development by encouraging children to make lists of the number of items they see in the book. This helps children to be well prepared for when they move on to school. The childminder extends children's communication and language skills well as she talks about insects, colours and sizes during a planned spider-making activity. Children who are learning English as additional language develop well because the childminder learns key words in their home languages. Children learn about how and why things work as they take photographs of their

outstanding

The childminder provides a well-organised, welcoming and highly inclusive environment. She fully recognises that each child is unique and treats them with equal concern. This results in her meeting their needs extremely well. The childminder supports changes in children's lives exceptionally well. She works very closely with parents and other settings that children attend. This continuity of care helps children adapt to change and feel secure. Children are very familiar with routines. They help to tidy up and to prepare and serve food, which greatly supports their independence. The childminder skilfully uses daily routines to help children learn about being healthy; for example, they thoroughly enjoy helping to prepare fruit salads and talk about the benefits of a nutritious diet. Children enjoy regular outdoor play which promotes their physical development. The childminder carefully supervises children and helps them to learn about safety. For example, she talks

about road safety and gives clear explanations about how to hold scissors safely.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder demonstrates a good commitment to ongoing improvements. She reflects on her own practice and takes account of the feedback from parents and children to improve her service. Parents comment that they are very happy with the care their children receive. Older children say that the childminder is the 'best ever' and provides fun activities. The childminder has addressed the recommendations from her last inspection. She finds out about children's individual needs and interests and monitors children's progress effectively. The childminder has recently completed training in safeguarding children. As a result, she very familiar with the procedures to follow should she have a concern about a child in her care. This has improved outcomes for children.
