p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder and her assistants make accurate assessments of the children's development, to help them plan activities that enhance children's learning further. For example, the childminder plans a wide range of sensory activities for young children to explore, touch and feel.  Children settle well in the childminder's care. They respond well to her and her assistants to receive and give affection. Children form secure attachments and make good relationships.  Children have good opportunities to learn about their local community. For instance, they regularly visit local parks and the library for sing and sign sessions with the childminder.  The childminder reflects well on her practice and reviews her provision effectively, taking the views of parents and her assistants into account. She effectively identifies her strengths and areas for development to improve outcomes for children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder and her assistants know and understand the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about the welfare of a child. The childminder has recently developed her awareness of how to identify children who may be at risk of exposure to extreme ideas or behaviours, by completing training. The childminder, with her staff, check her home regularly to ensure it is a safe and suitable environment to keep children safe from hazards. The childminder has a positive attitude towards the continuous development of her practice and those of her staff. She effectively enhances her assistants' teaching and care skills. For instance, she provides them with a thorough induction into the setting and regularly liaises with them to discuss practice issues or any concerns.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and her assistants encourage children well to develop good communication and language skills. For example, they read many books, sing songs using puppets and use lots of expression to engage children. They respond to and repeat children's sounds and babbles to them. This helps younger children to learn new words and sounds. The childminder has developed her learning environment well since the last inspection to provide broader opportunities for children to develop their creativity. For instance, she now provides more chances for children to build with wooden blocks in the indoor and outdoor areas.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder and her assistants know the children's care needs well. They are sensitive to their individual routines. For instance, the childminder works closely with parents during the settling-in period to find out about children's starting points, and welfare needs and routines. The childminder provides daily feedback to parents to keep them up to date of their children's achievements. She successfully encourages younger children to feed themselves, helping to support their independence and physical development. The childminder aids children to develop their large-muscle control. For example, she provides ample space and opportunities for younger children to practise their emerging walking skills. She makes good use of her garden, helping children to explore new ways to move. The childminder plans balanced menus, helping to support children's health and well-being effectively.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and learn a wide range of skills that prepares them well for their next stage of development and move to school. Children are confident learners. They are eager to join in with activities and have fun throughout the day. Children persevere in activities and enjoy practical experiences. For example, they explore shape sorters and develop problem-solving skills as learn that shapes fit into specific slots.
