p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder accurately assesses children's learning and uses her good understanding of child development to provide activities, which she matches well to each child's individual needs. She offers children experiences that they want to try.  Children form strong bonds with the childminder. They demonstrate that they feel safe and secure in her setting. Children access resources independently and learn to make independent decisions at a young age.  The childminder actively evaluates her practice to drive change. For example, she reflects accurately on the effectiveness of her activities and notes where she can make improvements in the future. This improves outcomes for children.  Partnership with parents is very strong. The childminder provides daily feedback informing parents of what their children enjoy and achieve each day. She regularly discusses how parents can continue to support children's learning at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has robust procedures in place should she have any concerns about a child's welfare. She risk assesses her home vigilantly and takes appropriate steps to help ensure it is a safe place to play. The childminder makes very good use of training opportunities for professional development to extend and further develop her skills. For example, she has provided further learning experiences, such as treasure boxes to help support children's curiosity and discovery skills. The childminder accurately monitors children's learning and swiftly addresses any gaps in their development. She works in effective partnership with other professionals and outside agencies to help all children to reach their full potential.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children in her care well and provides a good level of challenge and interest to stimulate learning. For example, young children enjoy using bricks to build towers. The childminder describes children's actions and uses lots of meaningful praise as children achieve what they set out to do. She encourages the children to count the blocks that make up their tower. The childminder promotes communication and language very well. For example, children widen their vocabulary effectively and learn to communicate themselves clearly to others as they play. Children have fun and are motivated learners. For example, they press buttons on toys and investigate the sounds they make.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have daily opportunities to enjoy fresh air and exercise. They relish walks in the woods and trips to local parks, where they feed the ducks. The childminder encourages children to use climbing apparatus. She gives children opportunities to learn to take manageable risks and experience physical challenge in their play. Children enjoy going to groups in the community, which helps them develop their social skills and meet other children. The childminder is a positive role model. She stays calm and shows children how to share and to take turns. From an early age, the childminder encourages children to develop their independence. For example, young children learn how to tidy away toys when they have finished playing with them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, make good progress from their starting points. They explore with confidence and feel safe in their environment. Children engage in purposeful play and learning experiences. They make marks using a variety or tools, demonstrating good physical skills. Children enjoy being with the childminder and thrive in her care. They are prepared for their next stage of learning, such as nursery or school.
