She knows how to keep the premises free from hazards so that children can play safely. The childminder has taken steps to improve her knowledge since the last inspection. For example, she has attended training and reads relevant information to update her knowledge of changes to government frameworks, such as the early years foundation stage. The childminder invites feedback from parents to help review aspects of her practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a secure knowledge of how children learn and develop. She knows the children in her care well. The childminder provides a good range of toys and activities, which keep the children interested and engaged. Children are encouraged to make choices and lead their own play. The childminder joins in and extends their learning well. For example, she introduces new words and sings rhymes with the younger children to support their language development. The childminder observes and assesses children's development. She uses this information effectively to build on their interests and to plan for each child's next steps in learning. The childminder shares information with parents about their children's progress regularly, such as through a daily diary.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a calm and welcoming environment where children are motivated to explore and learn. Children enjoy secure relationships with the childminder, who is sensitive to their needs. For example, she spends time comforting younger children as they settle down for rest. Children's behaviour is good, which shows that they feel safe in the childminder's care. The childminder helps children to learn about healthy lifestyles, for example, by offering them healthy foods choices, such as a range of fruits at snack time.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They are prepared for their next steps in learning and their move on to school. For example, children engage in regular activities to develop early reading, writing and mathematical skills. Children develop good social skills and are confident to make choices. They learn to become independent, for example, younger children feed themselves competently at mealtimes.
