Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the childminder's interaction with children during activities.  The inspector sampled a range of documents, including records relating to children, safeguarding policies and procedures.  The inspector looked at the available resources and discussed the effectiveness of the activities children participated in with the childminder.  The inspector sampled the childminder's policies, and discussed her practice, including how she monitors children's progress and keeps parents informed.  The inspector read parents' written testimonials and considered their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding about what to do if she has any cause for concern about a child. She updates her knowledge through training to protect children's welfare. She skilfully uses her experience, training and sharing best practice with colleagues to support children to make good progress. The childminder accurately evaluates her work to improve further. For example, she now provides children with a broader range of experiences and resources to give them a more enriched understanding of diverse backgrounds. The childminder regularly seeks the views of parents and uses this information effectively to support children's development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has high expectations for children. She has an accurate understanding of what they know and can do when they start attending her setting. The childminder has a precise understanding of the different ways children learn and is responsive to what will engage them. She uses activities such as catching bubbles in the garden to extend children's communication and language skills skilfully, as well as their physical development as they excitedly run around. The childminder makes regular and well- informed monitoring of how children are progressing to plan effectively for what they need to learn next. Children learn a good range of skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder develops a warm, nurturing bond with children. They are happy and emotionally secure in her home. Children show high levels of enjoyment in their activities and respond well to the childminder's high expectations for good behaviour. She consistently encourages them to share toys and take turns, explaining in a clear way so that children learn to avoid or resolve disputes. The childminder praises children frequently, which helps to give them confidence and a sense of pride in their achievements; for example, when she recognises that they have made the correct animal noises. Children develop a good understanding of how to stay clean and healthy. For example, they know that they need to have their hands wiped before eating, and they enthusiastically eat fruits and vegetables for snacks and lunch.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are motivated to learn. They gain important skills of good communication and language and physical development that help them in the next stage of their learning. Children have well-developed personal, social and emotional skills, which help them to behave, be confident and to consider others. All children make good progress, given what they know when they start, and they learn a good range of skills that prepare them well for the move on to nursery or school.
