This provision is good

 Children develop good language skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is clear about child protection issues and knows how to report any concerns she has about children's welfare. She attends training and ensures that she has relevant contact numbers to report any concerns promptly. Since her last inspection, the childminder has made good improvements and has successfully addressed the action and recommendations raised. For example, self-evaluation is effective and the childminder is clear about her strengths and areas to develop. She obtains parents' views through annual questionnaires to help her improve her practice, for example, how she observes and assesses children's needs with them.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children well. She prepares activities each morning so children can engage in learning as soon as they arrive. The childminder provides good opportunities for children to learn about the world around them, for example, through playing with small world farmyard toys and enjoying walks in the local area. The childminder helps children to learn about mathematics. As they play, she challenges them effectively to make comparisons, such as between soft and hard sounds. She extends these opportunities even further by encouraging children to count in sequence. The childminder supports children's emerging handwriting skills well, pitching activities relevant to their ages and stages of development. For example, younger children learn to handle chalks and older children use pens to make marks. The childminder encourages children to use musical toys imaginatively. For example, she pretends that they are a band, asking

children to think of suitable names. This encourages children to build good imagination and thinking skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy. They enjoy their time with the childminder and feel secure in the close attachment they form. The childminder builds children's self-esteem well through regular praise. This encourages children's eagerness and motivation to learn and succeed. The childminder supports children's outdoor physical exercise and activities well, helping them to gain good control of their movements. Children behave well. The childminder is a positive role model and provides good examples of how to be polite, such as saying 'please' and 'thank you'.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident learners. They enjoy a wide range of activities across all areas of learning. They develop good physical skills through interactive games and outdoor activities. Children communicate well and learn to form positive friendships. They develop the key skills needed to support their eventual move to school.
