p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder recognises the importance of professional development. She regularly attends training to support the children in the setting. For instance, she updated her knowledge about supporting potty training to enable her to meet the children's needs. The childminder has developed good relationships with other childminders and local professionals to share ideas and to develop her practice. The childminder has a good understanding of the local safeguarding procedures that she should follow if she had concerns about a child's welfare. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder reflects on and evaluates her practice. Since her last inspection, she has developed her systems to involve parents in their children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has high expectations of what children can do. She learns about children's backgrounds and cultural beliefs to support them to progress. She has a good understanding of how children learn and carries out regular observations and assessments to identify what they need to learn next. She plans activities using the children's interests to involve them in activities. For example, she uses their love of dinosaurs to support mathematical development well. Children gain good literacy skills. They learn to enjoy books and spend time talking about the pictures and reflecting on their likes. For example, children talk about what is 'yucky' and 'yummy' when looking at a picture book of food. The childminder has regular conversations with the parents about children's development to keep them well-informed about their children's progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have plenty of opportunities to gain fresh air and exercise. For instance, they enjoy playing in the garden and use equipment at the park to learn to climb and develop their large muscles. The children are well behaved and polite. They learn to take turns and share the resources. For example, children take turns scooping dinosaurs out of the sand with the childminder. Children are secure and happy to ask for help with tasks, such as putting their coats on. The childminder teaches children good hygiene routines, such as washing their hands before eating. The childminder celebrates festivals and cultural events with the children to help them to learn about diversity. She uses resources in different languages to celebrate the children's home languages in the setting.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

The children show readiness for the next stage in their learning. They develop the skills that they need to be independent learners. Children learn to concentrate and take part in activities for long periods. They develop a good use of language, and even children who speak English as an additional language become skilful communicators.
