p.1

This provision is good

 Children make good progress. The childminder provides good-quality activities which effectively support their learning. For instance, children enjoy working together to build train tracks, helping with their physical development.  The childminder is consistent in her approach to behaviour management. She teaches children to respect each other's views, share and take turns. Children behave well.  The childminder effectively gathers the views of the parents and children. She successfully uses these views to shape the service she provides. For example, she works with parents to change routines and help with toilet training.  The childminder works closely with parents and other settings that the children attend. They all work together to share relevant information about the children's stages of development and their next steps. This successfully helps continuity of learning for the children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has worked on the actions raised at her last inspection. She now has a clear understanding of child protection and what procedures to take if she has any concerns over children's welfare. She has carried out training in order to update her knowledge of changes to legislation. The childminder supervises children to help keep them safe. The childminder works closely with other childminders to assess the quality of the service she provides. This helps her to adapt activities to further enhance children's learning and development. For example, the childminder reviewed how her resources were stored to allow children to select with what they wish to play.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder works well with parents to gather children's starting points. She uses this information, alongside her good understanding of child development, to inform her planning. This helps to support good continuity of learning for the children. The childminder also carries out detailed assessments which help her to identify what children need to do next. This helps her to plan good-quality activities to support children's learning and development. For instance, children explore playing with sand. They learn how to empty and pour the sand between different containers. The childminder supports children's communication skills. For example, she regularly talks to them, asking them questions about their play. She also uses words from children's home languages to help them communicate and also to teach them English.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder successfully teaches children about the wider world in which they live. For example, children learn how to make lamps for Diwali. The childminder successfully teaches the children the meaning behind the lamps. She also finds out about children's backgrounds and uses this to help her to teach others about different festivals. For example, children have recently learnt about Eid and Diwali.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are gaining the necessary skills in order to move on to the next stage of their learning. They are happy, settled and ready to learn as soon as they arrive. For instance, children are eager to get out into the garden to play. They happily explore the ride-on toys and learn how to get in and out of the cars. This helps to support their physical development well. Children learn how to count through enjoyable activities. For instance, they count the number of toy pizza slices with which they are playing. Children are well prepared for their move to school.
