Inspection activities

 The inspector spoke to children and the childminder at appropriate times, during the inspection.  The inspector observed the quality of teaching and the impact this had on children's learning.  The inspector and the childminder completed a joint observation.  The inspector toured the parts of the childminder's home used for childminding.  The inspector checked evidence of the suitability of the childminder, looked at a selection of children's records and safeguarding procedures, and discussed her self- evaluation process.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder uses her self-evaluation well to guide improvements. For example, since her last inspection she has addressed all the previous actions and recommendations made. She has made effective use of training to complete her first-aid training and holds all required information on children that she cares for. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a thorough understanding of her roles and responsibilities in keeping children safe. The childminder knows what action she would take if she had concerns about the welfare of a child. The childminder monitors the quality of her practice and her provision and identifies areas where she can improve. For instance, she has reviewed the indoor area by adding more resources that promote children's physical skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching is good. The childminder has a good knowledge of children's interests and provides activities that motivate their play. The childminder plays alongside children and uses good opportunities to extend children's learning. For instance, children enjoy using building blocks and develop their good coordination skills as they learn how to connect these together. The childminder is particularly successful at promoting younger children's communication skills. For example, she models new words and sounds and children copy her, building confidence in their listening and speaking skills. The childminder monitors children's progress carefully and accurately plans activities that meet their needs and next steps in learning. She shares this information with parents regularly, to promote learning at home effectively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is attentive and sensitive to the individual needs of children. She has well- established care routines and provides children with reassurance to support their emotional well-being. Children are able to learn about positive play routines, as they share toys and take turns, developing their good social skills. The childminder helps children to learn about how to lead healthy lifestyles. Healthy foods and drinks are provided and children are able to be physically active, indoors and outside. Children develop good self- esteem, gain independence and persevere when faced with challenges.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development. They are able to develop their own interests and independently choose toys and resources that motivate their play. Children, including those who have English as an additional language, are making good progress in their communication and language skills. This helps to ensure that all children are prepared well for their next stage in learning, such as going to school.
