Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector observed the childminder's interactions with the children and completed a joint observation of an activity.  The inspector held a meeting with the childminder. She looked at relevant documentation, such as the self-evaluation and evidence of the suitability of adults within the home.  The inspector took account of some parents' verbal and written comments.  The inspector looked at children's records, planning information and a range of documentation, including policies and procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Children are well looked after and kept safe. The childminder is vigilant as children play and helps them to understand about potential dangers. A comprehensive range of policies, procedures and risk assessments are used well in practice. The childminder knows what actions to take if she has concerns about a child's welfare or development. The childminder provides a wide and varied range of learning opportunities to help children make progress. The childminder regularly monitors the progress children make to ensure there are no gaps in their learning that she is not already focusing on.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children play and learn in a stimulating environment that encourages them to learn. For example, young children explore with excitement and curiosity. Children play cooperatively together and develop good social skills. The childminder supports children's imagination and developing physical skills well, such as when they roll and shape dough to make pretend ice cream cones. She positively encourages children's understanding about mathematics. For instance, they select and use shapes to make patterns in the dough. She sits alongside children as they experiment with building towers, matching colours and talking about size. The childminder works well in partnership with parents, for example, she encourages home learning such as reading to children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children form strong bonds with the childminder and are very well supported to be emotionally resilient. The childminder is a good role model and children respond very well to her calm, consistent and sensitive manner. They learn how to be considerate, polite and respectful to one another and they behave well. For example, they share resources without needing a reminder. Children have good opportunities to be active and engage in physical play, such as in the garden or on visits to the park. Children enjoy the nutritious snacks and lunches that the childminder provides. The childminder supports children's emerging independence, which prepares them well for their future development. For example, she encourages young children to feed themselves and put on their coats and shoes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They are developing at the same stages as other children of their age. Children are well-prepared for the next stage in their learning, including the move on to school. They have good levels of confidence and self- esteem. Children concentrate well as they play at their chosen tasks.
