p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder provides a range of resources to help encourage children's motivation and interests. Children enjoy learning as they play. They develop good skills for their future learning and progress well.  Children are very confident and independent. They share resources, and they value and respect each other very well. Children's behaviour is good.  The childminder offers many opportunities that contribute to children's good health. For example, children enjoy daily outside play and benefit from a very healthy diet.  Partnerships with other professionals are good. For example, the childminder shares information with staff at the schools children attend to support continuity in children's care and learning.  The childminder regularly evaluates her practice. She obtains the views of parents and children and uses the information to maintain continuous improvements that benefit children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge of safeguarding and keeps up to date with current guidance. She knows the procedures to follow if she has any concerns for children in her care, to help protect their welfare. The childminder has met the recommendation made at her last inspection and has a very positive attitude to improving her provision. For example, she actively uses information from a range of sources to improve her knowledge and children's learning outcomes. The childminder supports her assistant effectively and updates her knowledge to improve her skills. She has clear plans in place to keep her knowledge and teaching skills relevant and current. The childminder works well with parents to share information about the children's care and learning. Parents' comments show that they value the care their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder asks interesting questions to help encourage children's thinking and speaking skills. She introduces different words, such as 'same' and 'long', to effectively encourage children to hear new words and build their vocabulary. The childminder interacts very well with the children as she supports their play. She encourages children to solve problems, for example, as they work out how to use tools to press out their dough. The childminder provides plenty of space to meet children's needs. For instance, younger children learning to crawl and pull themselves up can move about easily.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder's settling-in procedures are very effective. She tailors routines for each child's needs to help them settle easily and quickly. The childminder provides many cuddles and reassurance to help children feel comfortable and at home. She provides easy access to a good selection of resources for all children to explore and that meet their needs. Children learn about people's similarities and differences, and about people's roles in the community. For example, children explore a very good range of multicultural resources that help them learn about the diverse world in which they live. The childminder is a positive role model for children and she helps them to understand her expectations. She helps children to share, take turns, and use good manners.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. They are physically active, and they learn to be polite and respectful. Young children make positive relationships and are confident and independent. Children are developing good communication and language skills. For example, they take part in stories and happily point to the pictures. Children listen well and learn to count as they develop good mathematical ideas. They are well prepared for the next stages in their learning.
