p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder understands and implements the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage well. She has developed successful ways to share information with parents. For example, she informs parents about her policies and procedures and regularly updates them about their children's progress in a range of ways. These effective measures help to ensure that parents are fully involved in their children's learning and development. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of her responsibility to keep children safe. She has developed good links with staff from other settings to help promote continuity of care and learning for children. She reflects on her practice, which helps identify any areas for improvement. She attends training to develop her knowledge and skills and has clear plans for further training. She has addressed the recommendations from the last inspection and now provides a range of resources and activities that help

promote children's awareness of diversity.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder successfully observes children as they play and take part in routines. Her good knowledge of child development helps her to accurately assess children's progress and plan for their learning. The childminder provides a varied range of good-quality resources for children that cover all areas of learning. Children enjoy outside play activities which help challenge them to develop new skills. Trips within the local area provide a variety of experiences for children as well as helping them to learn about their environment.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settled with the childminder. She is a good role model for children. She teaches them to respect each other and consider each other's differing needs. Children are learning to take care of their toys and their environment. The childminder explains to children how to keep themselves safe, for example, by ensuring they have enough space to play safely. She helps to promote children's good health by providing nutritious snacks. Clear explanations help children to learn how their bodies work as the childminder explains how their healthy snacks give them energy.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children progress well from their starting points. Children learn the independence skills they need as they prepare to attend school and other settings. Children learn to recognise shapes and use different resources to build and balance. The childminder encourages children's developing concentration skills well as they prepare for the next stage in their learning.
