This provision is good

 Children make good progress in their personal, social and emotional development. They build strong bonds with the childminder and other children attending, and show they feel safe while in the care of the childminder.  The childminder uses her observations well to help her plan age-appropriate activities in all areas of learning, and effectively plan for the children's next steps in development. Children progress well in their development to move on to school.  The childminder values her own professional development. This helps ensure children have better outcomes in their learning and well-being, and her knowledge is current.  The childminder establishes good relationships with parents, particularly to work successfully together to meet children's care and learning needs.  Children behave well and develop positive attitudes towards others in the community. For example, they learn about others and enjoy the positive range of resources and

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to identify any signs that may cause her concern about a child's welfare. She understands the procedures to follow and how to contact the relevant agencies. The childminder organises her provision well and all documents to support the effective management of her setting are in place. For example, the childminder keeps a written record of all medication administered and children's attendance, as required. Children are further safeguarded as the childminder uses comprehensive risk assessments to support her in minimising potential hazards in her setting and when out in the community. Effective support from the local authority, meeting action plans set by the coordinator, and attending relevant training courses have helped the childminder to reflect on all areas of practice to support improvements. For example, she has developed her home environment to be more enabling for children, and

enhanced her observation and assessment skills. Parental feedback at inspection is positive of the service provided.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder effectively plans and provides many good learning opportunities for children. She encourages children to follow their interests, and children are eager to play. The childminder supports children's language development well. For example, she encourages new language as she uses a range of books and props to accompany stories and rhymes. The children are engaged and enthusiastic to participate in creative play, such as exploring the sensory play in water, or explore different textures with pasta and compost. All required assessments are undertaken and shared with parents.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides children with a varied range of play resources. Children learn to make choices in their play. They show that they are interested and inquisitive about the choices they make. They know about good hygiene practices and learn to attend to their personal needs well as part of the routines put into place. Children learn about safety. For example, they respond well to reminders from the childminder on how to climb the steps to the slide carefully, and the importance of road safety when in the community. Children enjoy the healthy range of snacks the childminder provides. For example, they select fruits of their own choice, ask for additional helpings, and drink water regularly.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in relation to their age and in readiness for moving on to school. For example, children of all ages play for long periods at activities of their choice. They present good levels of concentration, they show a good interest in early reading, and have regular opportunities to go on outings to socialise with others.
