Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children taking part in activities and observed the childminder's interaction with them.  The inspector conducted a joint observation with the childminder and spoke with her and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation that the childminder uses to support her practice and discussed self-evaluation.  The inspector viewed the areas of the premises available for children's use.  The inspector took account of verbal and written feedback from parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder reflects on her practice regularly to identify areas for improvement. She seeks the views of parents and children as part of her evaluation process. Since the last inspection, she has made improvements to her educational programme. For example, she provides children with regular opportunities to explore and investigate a range of media and materials. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her responsibilities regarding child protection issues and has a secure knowledge of recent changes to safeguarding matters. She knows the procedures to follow if she has concerns that a child may be at risk of harm. The childminder forms good relationships with parents. They share a two-way flow of information about children's care and learning, to provide consistency between the setting and home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn. She observes children during their play and identifies their interests, using this information to plan a wide range of engaging activities. For example, children enjoyed manipulating play dough and mixing rice as they made pretend bread, developing their physical skills and imagination. The childminder engages well with children and asks useful questions to encourage them to think and talk about their ideas. For example, she asked children what they were making and developed their understanding of shape, texture and colour. The childminder extends children's learning as they play. For instance, as children put their dough bread in the toy oven, she talked about temperature and the oven being hot.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children share secure relationships with the childminder. She is caring and attentive to their needs, supporting their emotional well-being effectively. The childminder helps children to develop respect and understanding of others. For example, she teaches children about differences and recognises various festivals and beliefs throughout the year. Children's understanding of healthy lifestyles is supported well. They benefit from being physically active, such as through regular trips to parks, and enjoy participating in dancing and action songs in the childminder's home. They follow good hygiene routines and enjoy healthy food.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those learning English as an additional language, make good progress from their starting points. They become motivated and independent learners. They acquire important skills in preparation for the future and eventual move to school. Children are good communicators. They speak confidently and use descriptive language well. They enjoy playing imaginatively and exploring their own ideas.
