This provision is good

 The childminder provides a welcoming and inviting environment to children. They settle quickly and feel secure. Children confidently explore independently as they move around the home.  The childminder plans a variety of interesting activities and experiences for children, based on their ages and needs.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has a good understanding of her roles and responsibilities. Safeguarding is effective. She knows to keep children safe and what procedures to follow if she is concerned about a child's welfare. The childminder provides a safe environment by undertaking daily assessments to minimise risks. The childminder builds good relationships with parents and frequently shares information, which helps to promote consistency in children's care and learning. The childminder uses her assessments of children's development to monitor their progress and provides support for their next steps in learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder completes observations of children's learning and plans a good range of activities to help them progress. Children develop their small-muscle skills and imaginations well, for example, when they play with play dough and use a range of tools to manipulate the dough. Children develop their independence; they follow their own interests and choose what they want to play with from the wide range of activities and toys. The childminder demonstrates to children how to play with toys and teaches them a good range of skills. For example, children learn about spatial and size awareness as they put together a puzzle. Children learn to enjoy challenges and explore their abilities in an exciting environment. The childminder describes children's actions alongside their play to help develop their vocabulary. Children are effective communicators.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is warm, friendly and a good role model for children. She is a positive role model and has clear expectations for children's behaviour. They behave well and understand the boundaries of the setting. For example, children help to tidy up the toys and resources after playing with them, use good manners and sit at the table when drinking. Children are happy and content in the care of the childminder; they develop positive relationships and good social skills. The childminder gives praise and encouragement to the children for their efforts and achievements, which helps them to gain a positive sense of well-being. She makes good use of opportunities during children's outdoor play to contribute to their good health, strengthen their physical skills and confidence, and to take some risk safely. For example, children learn to climb the steps to the trampoline safely and the childminder builds on their learning, such as helping children

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress based on their starting points. Children learn a good range of skills that prepare them for their future learning, including starting school.
