p.1

This provision is good

 Children build secure attachments with the childminder and each other. Older children are kind to the younger oneschildren and help them with daily routines. The childminder is a good role model for children and encourages positive behaviour.  The childminder reflects on her provision and skills well. She has clear ideas about how she would like to develop her knowledge further and how she can offer a wider range of resources for children to match their interests and learning needs.  Teaching is good and children make good progress in their learning and development. The childminder monitors children's achievements carefully and plans well for the next steps in their learning.  The childminder teaches children about their own and other people's safety. For example, she explains that small items might be a hazard for younger children and ensures that these items are cleared away out of their reach.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder uses different methods to help ensure that she understands current safeguarding issues. She has a good knowledge of the procedures to follow if she has concerns about a child in her care. The childminder gathers feedback from parents and adapts her practice to take account of this. For example, she has changed the way she gives daily information to parents to meet their needs. The childminder has successfully addressed the recommendations from the last inspection. For example, she uses a range of methods to help children learn about numbers, shapes and colours.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children well and provides activities to help meet their different interests and abilities. For example, older children use their imagination and design skills to make bracelets with different coloured beads. The childminder recognises younger children's fascinations and provides items, which embrace their interests. For example, children explore how to open containers and put items inside. The childminder makes careful observations of children's development in all areas of learning. She compiles development folders to share with parents and tracks children's progress over time. This helps her to identify any areas where children need additional support. The childminder supports children's communication skills well. For example, she clearly describes routines for all children, including those children who are learning to speak English as an additional language.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children learn about people from different backgrounds. For example, the childminder provides children with a varied range of resources such as dolls and puzzles. She takes children to different settings to help them learn to share and take turns as they play in larger groups. Children enjoy daily outside play, such as in local parks. They talk about their favourite equipment, such as slides and swings, where they develop different physical skills. Children help to tidy up to help them to learn about caring for their environment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident learners. Older children learn about letters and sounds as they prepare for the move to school. For example, they enjoy sounding out and identifying the letters in their name. Younger children learn how to feed themselves using spoons and finger foods. Children learn about shapes and colours with different resources, such as shape sorters.
