 The inspector observed activities and the quality of teaching indoors and outdoors.  The inspector spoke with the childminder and carried out a joint observation.  The inspector took account of the childminder's self-evaluation and references from parents.  The inspector checked safeguarding information and the premises.  The inspector sampled documentation, including policies and procedures, and children's development records.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistants implement her policies and procedures well to protect and promote children's welfare. They know what to do if a child is at risk of harm. The childminder seeks parents' and children's feedback to help her more accurately evaluate her provision. For example, in partnership with parents she looks for ways to enhance her settling-in procedures to support children's emotional well-being further. The childminder provides regular feedback for parents and she seeks good information on how children learn at home. Following her last inspection, she has introduced new systems to help ensure that parents contribute fully to their children's development. The childminder tracks children's learning well to have an accurate knowledge of where they may require additional support to catch up with their peers.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn and helps them to explore and investigate. She takes each child's individual stages of development into account when planning activities and has a good understanding of each child's abilities. The childminder encourages young children to repeat their actions and adds additional resources to consolidate their learning and make connections. For example, children roll cars down a pipe, then balls and then water, moving the pipe to different levels to see what happens. The childminder provides good support for children to see how one thing affects another. For example, how the sun dries up a puddle. The childminder engages children in lots of purposeful discussions. She helps them to extend their vocabulary, understand the meaning of words and enjoy books.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder plans a flexible day, taking into account each child's routine. She helps children to want to succeed and take pride in their achievements. Children are confident in her home. They explore and make independent choices from the extensive range of resources. Overall, children develop a good understanding of safe practices. For example, young children learn how throwing toys can hurt their friends. The childminder meets children's physical and emotional needs well. She uses very hygienic procedures to change young children's nappies, and teaches them the importance of washing hands.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are independent and have strong self-esteem. They seek help when needed, to achieve more. Children develop good skills in their key areas of development, providing a solid foundation for their future learning. They learn to communicate well and listen to each other. Children develop firm relationships and gain a positive awareness of people's differences.
