This provision is good

 The childminder provides children with a wide range of activities and high-quality resources to promote their learning well. She observes children regularly to form accurate assessments of their progress and uses this information to provide challenging activities. Children make good progress.  The childminder helps children to settle well and to feel valued. For instance, she spends time finding out about their interests, which she reflects in activities that children enjoy.  The childminder reflects on all aspects of her practice to identify ways to improve and make changes to promote children's care and learning most effectively.  Monitoring is effective. The childminder evaluates planning and assessment regularly to ensure that she meets the needs of all children well.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has effective partnerships with others to support children's care and learning well. For instance, she uses flexible ways to keep parents up to date on children's progress. She has clear arrangements for working well with schools to support children who are moving on to school. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of procedures to follow should she be concerned about a child's welfare. She prioritises children safety, for instance, by regularly checking all aspects of her home, including the garden, to help ensure they are safe for children's use. The childminder is keen to further improve her knowledge and skills and actively seeks ways to develop her practice. For example, training led to more creative play ideas and better experiences for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children's early mathematical development well. For instance, she provides objects for children to group and sort, and teaches children to count from an early age. The childminder promotes children's language skills effectively, for instance, when using boxes of different objects to stimulate discussion. She encourages babies' development successfully through a wide range of activities that stimulate their senses and promote their learning. Children learn a wide range of physical skills, for instance, by climbing and balancing, and moving in different ways on a range of indoor and outdoor equipment. The childminder uses the local community well to extend children's learning and provide different experiences, such as music groups to further their creative development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder promotes children's well-being effectively. This includes greeting them warmly and responding positively to their individual needs. Children are motivated to learn and confident. They have a good awareness of safety and behave in safe ways. For instance, the childminder teaches them about road safety and the dangers of climbing on furniture in her home. She teaches children healthy habits, such as the importance of healthy eating, and daily outdoor play and exercise to promote physical development. The childminder manages children's behaviour well, for instance, by being clear about her expectations so that children behave positively.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development. They communicate well and have good early mathematical skills. Children successfully develop the skills they need for the next stage in their learning and school.
