Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the childminder interacting with the children.  The inspector sampled the childminder's policies, procedures, risk assessments and the children's development records.  The inspector discussed the childminder's procedures to safeguard children, and her process for reflecting on her practice. She also spoke to the co-childminder at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector took into account the views, comments and suggestions of parents and children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge of safeguarding practices and the procedures to follow to protect children in her care. She checks the progress of each child to spot any issues. She also provides well-tailored support to help children catch up. The childminder attends training to improve the quality of her practice. For example, she has improved the way in which she tracks the progress of different groups of children and has increased her understanding of how to support children's communication and language development. The childminder seeks the views of parents, children and other professionals to continually improve her service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder works well with parents. She gathers information from parents about what their children know, can do and need to learn next. She uses this information alongside her ongoing observations, to plan activities that motivate children to learn. Children have good attitudes to learning and respect the views of others. Children enjoy looking at books with the childminder and talk about their favourite pictures and characters. They thoroughly enjoy painting and observing the changes that happen to paint colours when they mix. Children explore different musical instruments and the sounds that they make. Children sing songs joyfully and dance to music. The childminder interacts well with children and acts on their suggestions to support their communication and language skills. Children listen attentively and respond well to instructions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy in the childminder's care and develop good relationships with others. They learn to share resources fairly and take turns. The childminder helps children to develop good self-help skills. For example, children learn to be more independent as they attend to their own personal hygiene, help themselves to their meals and clear tables after lunch. The childminder helps children adopt healthy eating habits. For instance, children learn about different fruits and how food helps them grow and develop. Children enjoy outdoor activities, such as manoeuvring bikes, using climbing apparatus and creating their own games. The childminder conducts regular checks on the premises and resources to ensure that children remain safe and secure.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and any gaps in learning are closing rapidly. Children explore resources safely. Younger children learn to socialise with others. Older children learn to count, sort and match objects. They use good mathematical language to solve problems. Children talk about the changes that happen to the natural world around them. They observe plants and show care for living things.
