p.1

This provision is good

 Children enjoy playing with a wide range of good-quality toys and materials. The childminder provides a child-friendly environment and activities that are based on children's interests. This means children explore freely, use their imagination, and have a positive and confident approach to learning.  Children progress very well in all areas of learning. Through training and increasing her knowledge of how children learn and develop, the childminder has improved her practice and the quality of teaching to consistently good and sometimes outstanding standards.  The childminder and her assistant excellently promote older children's learning of mathematics and extend younger children's mathematical language. This promotes their readiness for next stages in their learning.  The childminder and her assistant are excellent role models. They talk to the children in a calm and respectful manner, teach them good manners and help children understand

different behavioural rules. As a result, children behave extremely well.  Partnerships with parents and other early years settings that they attend are good, and this helps to provide consistency for children.  The childminder has addressed recommendations from her last inspection successfully.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder is well qualified. This has a positive impact on the overall care she provides and her understanding of the statutory requirements. The childminder uses effective methods for monitoring children's progress and planning for the next stages in their learning. She shares children's learning with parents and plans appropriate activities. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has excellent knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures and safeguards children well. She ensures her assistant is suitable to work with children and is aware of how to keep them safe. The childminder holds regular meetings with her assistant to support her practice and improve outcomes for children; the assistant has recently completed a childcare qualification at level 3.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and her assistant interact well with children, therefore, promoting communication and language development. They encourage interactions and engage in purposeful conversations with children. Moreover, the childminder celebrates children's home languages and uses them as a tool to promote learning. The childminder follows children's interests and allows them to learn at their own pace. For example, she ensures children know the daily routines and have sufficient time to complete activities; this fosters independent learning. The childminder uses her outdoor area well. Children regularly use the garden to explore and investigate, and develop their physical skills. For example, they compare insects and look for fruit; this leads to discussions on healthy eating.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The childminder has excellent settling-in procedures and understands children's individual needs. This helps to build strong and trusting relationships with both children and their parents. She uses highly effective methods to monitor children's care routines, which she communicates to parents. Children feel safe and secure while in the childminder's care. Children develop high levels of self-esteem, particularly as they receive consistent praise for their efforts. The childminder supports children to develop healthy lifestyles and successfully manage their personal care needs. Children learn how to share, take turns and respect one another's feelings. For example, the childminder ensures all children have an equal amount of time to use equipment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who are learning to speak English as an additional language, make good progress. Therefore, they are working within the typical levels of development for their age. Older children are well prepared to take their first steps on to school.
