The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder has a good range of resources and encourages children to make independent choices in their play and learning.  Children make good progress in their development. This is because the childminder is fully committed to supporting children to reach their full learning potential.  Children form strong relationships with the childminder. This means children's individual needs are met very well.  The childminder demonstrates a secure understanding of safeguarding procedures to protect children from harm. She is knowledgeable of the procedures to follow for reporting any welfare issues which may raise cause for concern.  The childminder works very closely with parents to get to know children and their starting points. As a result, observations and planning are thoughtful, as she takes children's individual needs into account.

who attend. This is good

Children are developing at a good pace and benefit from the enjoyable activities that the childminder provides to maintain their interest. For example, children enjoy using a variety of craft resources during an art activity. Children interact well with the childminder, as they participate and engage in activities. Young children develop their communication and language skills through conversations with the childminder. Children develop their early writing skills with the childminder's guidance, which prepares them for their next stage of development.

p.3

good

Good arrangements to care for children ensure their well-being. The childminder provides a safe, happy and stimulating environment for children, where they settle quickly. Children have access to a garden area that has a variety of outdoor play equipment to promote their physical exercise. The childminder provides some healthy snacks for children and drinking water is readily available. Young children feed themselves and this promotes independence. The childminder's nurturing praise and encouragement gives children confidence, helps then feel valued, and encourages them to do well. Children regularly participate in fire drills and learn about road safety when out on walks. These experiences make a positive contribute to the way children develop a sense of danger and how to keep safe.

p.3

provision is good

The childminder has a secure knowledge of the requirements for the Early Years Foundation Stage. She has addressed recommendations from the last inspection well. This has had a positive impact on children's well-being and their learning and development. The childminder is committed to continual development in order to improve outcomes for children. For instance, she has attended several training courses, including one on arts and crafts. This has had a great impact on improving children's development in expressive arts and design. The childminder is making ongoing improvements as part of her self- evaluation process and takes the views of parents and children into consideration to improve her practice. The effective partnerships the childminder has established with other settings maintains continuity for children's learning and care.
