p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder works well with parents to monitor and support children's learning and development effectively. Children make good progress in their learning from the start.  Children are happy, settled and build friendships with others. They show an interest in learning and take a pride in their work and achievements.  The childminder helps children to develop good physical skills and healthy routines. For example, she provides regular outdoor play, action songs, and teaches children good hand washing routines.  The childminder values professional development to maintain the good quality care and learning she provides. For example, she uses information from training to provide more positive strategies for encouraging children's good behaviour.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder keeps up to date with current safeguarding practices and policy to protect children's welfare. She has a good understanding of her responsibility to keep children safe and how to report any concerns about a child in her care. The childminder evaluates the quality of her provision successfully to identify and make ongoing improvements. For example, she has introduced more learning experiences in the garden and works closely with parents to support children's healthy diets. The childminder has introduced effective systems to work with other settings children also attend. For example, she uses a two-way assessment book to monitor and support children's care and learning consistently.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder makes good use of her observations and assessments of children's progress to plan their learning accurately. For example, she provides chalks, brushes and water to encourage children's early writing skills in the garden. The childminder uses children's activity choices to build on their learning, such as counting and recognising numerals as they play. She supports children's communication and language development effectively, particularly those children whose home language is not English. For example, she speaks in both languages and uses pictures and toys to help children understand and learn English words. The childminder extends this further, such as creating memory games with toys and teaching children letter sounds.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a good balance of indoor and outdoor activities to support children's learning. Children confidently choose for themselves and ask for their favourite activities. For example, children engage for a long time playing with the dough they ask for. They create their own ideas and designs with the dough as they use tools and their hands, such as making birthday cakes. The childminder helps children to develop positive attitudes towards others and to learn about their world. For example, they learn about one another's lives, languages and beliefs and explore the natural environment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good skills for their future learning. They manage tasks confidently for themselves to increase their independence. Children listen well and communicate their needs and feelings effectively. They behave well, play kindly with others and learn good social skills. Children enjoy their play and are keen to join in activities.
