take turns and value each other. This contributes towards children developing good social skills and behaving well.

 The childminder sometimes misses opportunities to develop children's language and mathematical skills as they play.  The childminder does not always review all aspects of her practice consistently to identify and implement improvements to her provision.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder evaluates her provision carefully and checks that it meets the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. She attends regular training and uses her understanding of good practice to ensure that children learn and develop well. For example, the childminder made good use of training to develop her questioning techniques further. The childminder communicates very well with parents and keeps them well informed about their children's learning and activities. She takes note of parental information about children's needs, routines and interests, and considers these when planning activities. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of child protection issues and the procedures to follow if she has concerns. She checks the environment and resources to make sure that these are safe. The childminder has successfully addressed the recommendations made at the previous inspection. She is keen

to strengthen her provision even further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder effectively monitors and assesses children's learning and development. She identifies children's next steps accurately and provides activities that meet the needs of children at different stages of development. The childminder encourages children to explore and develop their understanding. She gives children good opportunities to make their own choices and follow their interests. This contributes to children being highly motivated to learn. The childminder typically makes good use of opportunities that arise to develop children's creativity and physical skills. For example, she helped children to develop their hand-to-eye coordination, and talk about what they were doing and colours during an activity with paint and toy cars.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder has a gentle and encouraging manner, and provides a calm and soothing atmosphere. This contributes to the high levels of confidence that children demonstrate at all times. The childminder's warm and positive interactions with them convey a sense of value. She models good behaviour well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

The childminder provides children with activities that stimulate and absorb them. She makes sure that all children achieve well from their starting points when they first attend. Children develop positive attitudes towards learning and use their time purposefully. As a result, children make good progress and are ready for the next stage in their learning and school.
