This provision is good

 Children make good developmental progress in relation to their starting points, including children learning English as an additional language.  The childminder provides children with a good range of activities and resources.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder fully understands and meets the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has completed training, which has successfully developed her awareness of protecting children. She has met the recommendations made at the last inspection. The childminder has effectively developed her observation, assessment and monitoring of children's progress. She has adapted children's learning journeys so they clearly identify children's individual stages of development and identify next steps for learning. The childminder has also created a playroom for children to use during their play. This successfully promotes their independence because they can easily see and choose the resources.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children well. She uses her good knowledge of their individual needs to extend their learning successfully. She uses positive interaction during their play and shows children how to use the resources competently. Overall, children develop a wide range of skills that help prepare them for their future learning. For example, they learn how to use battery operated tablets and identify numbers on the screen. The childminder teaches children to recognise and learn the sounds of letters in their names. They make marks using crayons and shaving foam, which develops their pre-writing skills. Children develop good imaginative and creative skills. They play inside large cardboard boxes, which they make into camps in the childminder's garden. They make designs from junk, decorate chocolate lollies and listen to stories.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy, settled and secure. The childminder talks to children in a positive way, which provides them with a good role model. As a result, children are helpful, cooperative and well behaved. They help tidy up the toys in the playroom to create space for activities. The childminder successfully teaches children to value and respect each other and others in society. Children form good friendships. The childminder joins up with another childminder once a week, which helps to promote children's social skills. They learn about the local environment on visits to local farms and parks on a regular basis. Children develop good self-care skills. The childminder encourages children to put on their coats and wellington boots independently. She fully promotes children's well-being and provides them with good physical challenges during regular outings. They swing on large hammock nets, dig in sand pits, use climbing frames and jump on inflatable equipment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good developmental progress in relation to their starting points. They engage in activities and are motivated learners, which prepares them for their future learning.
