p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder works hard alongside her assistants and has addressed all weaknesses identified during the last inspection. She has sought and acted on advice and guidance. Practice is strong and all children are making good progress.  The childminder has nurtured good relationships with children and her assistants. Parents are very pleased with the good progress that their children are making. They comment that children have learned so much, such as developing their language and becoming more confident. This is preparing children well for their future learning.  The childminder places high emphasis on supporting children's health. She provides them with daily opportunities to be physically active. She follows healthy lifestyle guidance in her approach to food, activity and supporting children's emotional well- being.  The learning environment inside and outside provides children with rich and inviting

activities. Children spend sustained periods of time engrossed in play and exploration which have been carefully planned. This helps to extend children's learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistants can describe the potential signs and symptoms of abuse. They clearly understand how to report any concerns they may have. The childminder supports her assistants well and this helps to ensure children's welfare is fully promoted. Assistants have frequent meetings and discussions with the childminder to reflect on their practice. Targets to support their continued improvement and the improvement of the setting are regularly reviewed. The childminder talks to parents about children's learning in school. She then makes sure that she is providing children with fun and interesting activities to support their good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and her assistants use their qualifications and experience well. They carefully observe how children react to activities they have planned and those that they have chosen for themselves. They quickly identify activities where children concentrate for extended periods of time. They then think about how they can extend their interest and learning further. For example, children play with cornflour using a range of pots, pans and trays. Adults support and talk with children about what happens as they mix water into the cornflour. They encourage children and help them to learn new words. Children describe the mixture as 'stretchy' and 'dripping' as it falls from the spoon. Adults read with children and develop their love of books and other reading materials. They use recording devices to capture children's answers to their questions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are supported well to develop their independence, particularly when going to the toilet and washing their hands. Children behave well, cooperate with boundaries and follow adults' instructions. The youngest children enjoy mixing with the older children, although they have their own area within the main room. This is a safe place to rest or sleep with familiar resources which are well suited to their age and stage of development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and show that they feel safe and secure in the childminder's home. They move freely around the indoor and outdoor environments. Younger children shout as they get ready to throw the ball outside. Older children mix herbs and fruit that they have picked in the garden. They use real cooking equipment, such as a pestle and mortar. Children talk about and compare sizes of objects, such as spoons in the messy tray. They say, for example, 'Mine is a small spoon'.
