p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder helps children to develop and learn effectively. She provides a good range of interesting resources to motivate and maintain their interest.  Children are confident, happy and secure, and behave well. The childminder provides consistent care, positively meeting children's physical and emotional well-being.  The childminder works well with parents to regularly share information about children's routines and play, engaging parents well in their children's learning.  The childminder develops her childcare knowledge effectively to help her develop her practices and meet children's individual learning needs. For example, she completes training and keeps updated through research using childcare websites.  Younger children benefit from the childminder's effective observation and assessment process. The childminder monitors their progress well, and identifies and addresses any gaps in their development. Children make good progress from their starting points.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is fully aware of her responsibility in protecting children. She knows how to follow correct procedures to protect children from harm. She completes relevant training in child protection to keep her knowledge up to date. The childminder thoroughly assesses risks indoors and on trips to help her keep children safe and secure. The childminder evaluates her practice well overall. For example, she has rearranged the storage of resources to make them more accessible to children and encourage their independence and choice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses her skills and knowledge well to provide effective learning experiences for children. For example, she helps younger children to explore and find out how things work as they operate the good variety of programmable toys. They eagerly push buttons and show excitement at the flashing lights and musical noises they hear. Children enjoy exploring shells and natural resources with the childminder, who supports them well, for example, teaching them to count. The childminder provides good opportunities for younger children's physical development. They show excitement as the childminder pushes them gently in the swing at the park. They gain increasing control of their movements, for example, by walking in the park with support from the childminder. Children make good progress towards their next stage of learning due to the childminder's positive input.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Younger children settle quickly and immediately develop strong bonds with the childminder. The childminder provides children with healthy food and encourages younger children to independently feed themselves. Children learn to develop respect for others, for example, through the range of resources that are readily available, raising their awareness of diversity. The childminder supports younger children well to be aware of potential hazards, for example, when learning to walk in the park, helping to keep them safe. Children behave well and learn to effectively follow the childminder's instructions to help them understand her expectations.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Younger children develop secure physical skills. They learn to stand up unaided, take small steps and steadily move their bodies as they join in with singing sessions. Younger children leave their parents happily and are emotionally secure with the childminder, developing good social skills. Younger children learn to communicate well with others; for example, they smile, point and say single words.
