They know the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child being at risk from harm. The childminder shows a strong commitment to sustaining the quality of the provision that she provides. She reflects upon her service which has allowed her to clearly pinpoint the priorities for her future development. The childminder assesses children's development effectively and plans for the next steps in their learning. She ensures the continued good outcomes for the children. The childminder supports her assistants to develop their confidence and to extend the learning of the children. The childminder's partnership with parents is very good. For example, she has regular informal discussions, often on a daily basis, to help keep parents informed about the care and learning of their children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is very committed to teaching good communication and language skills. For example, she reads books to the children with expression, pointing to words and introducing new vocabulary to them. The childminder and her assistants listen to children and respond to them effectively with simple questions that they can understand. The childminder is passionate to do more training on the development of speech and language to help enhance the outcomes for children even further. Numbers and shapes are included in everyday practice. For example, children count bricks and look at the shapes in the pictures they make. The childminder has a good range of resources inside and outside for children to develop their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder gathers relevant information from the parents about the routine care of the children and to help build on what they already know. Parents comment that their children are happy and enjoy attending the setting. The childminder and her assistants are positive role models and help children to share and care for each other. This encourages the children to feel valued as they are praised for their good behaviour. Children enjoy physical activities in a large spacious garden, for example, using the slide, trampoline and planting flowers. The childminder supports a healthy lifestyle well and provides a range of nutritious meals and fruits for the children to enjoy.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their developmental starting points. Young children learn to copy and explore words. For example, they listen to stories, sing songs and hear the sounds of the letters. The children gain a wide range of skills which helps them to prepare for the next stage in their learning. For example, children develop excellent relationships and quickly learn to be cooperative and tolerant of others. There is a good range of interesting resources for children to choose in their play. Children are eager to take part in different activities which enhance their learning experiences.
