This provision is good

 The childminder provides a stimulating environment with a good range of resources, indoors and outdoors, which supports children's learning. Children engage well and are motivated and eager to learn as they choose what they would like to play with. They make good progress in their development.  Children are happy and settled. Relationships between the childminder and the children are very good. This helps children to feel emotionally secure from the start of care.  Children show close attachments with the nurturing childminder and her assistant. Their sensitivity, calmness and ability to support and guide children help children to develop self-confidence and a strong sense of belonging.  Children's physical development is supported and they join the childminder in exercising. They extend their physical skills in the garden and ride on a wide range of wheeled toys.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of child protection issues and the procedures to follow if she has concerns about a child's welfare. She recently updated her safeguarding training and holds the relevant contact details for the safeguarding team. The childminder places a robust emphasis on children's safety. She ensures she carries out risk assessments which help her to identify and minimise any hazards to children. The childminder reviews her provision to identify any areas for improvement. She seeks the views of parents and children, and parents complete a survey each year. Children complete a questionnaire and the childminder asks them to 'name four activities you like doing best' and 'name a few of your favourite toys'. Parents are very happy with the service that the childminder provides. They commented that the childminder is 'like family, warm, loving and caring'. The childminder supports and reviews

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder helps support children's communication and language skills well as she constantly talks to them and asks questions. The childminder interacts well with children to support their development. She allows them lots of choice in what they do as she follows their interests. The childminder plans for children individually to support their progress as they play. The childminder seizes opportunities for children to hear and use counting in everyday play situations as they complete number puzzles. Children develop good control and coordination as they make marks with coloured pens or chalk. Children enjoy drawing, colouring pictures and painting as they develop their creative skills. Children's natural curiosity to explore using their senses is encouraged and they mould play dough to create shapes. Each child has a learning journal containing photographs of them as they engage in activities. The childminder notes what children are learning and

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder finds out about children's individual routines from parents and implements these, promoting continuity of care. Children learn how to manage their own behaviour and are confident in their surroundings. They understand about staying safe and managing risks. Children know to sit down at the table when eating and not to run indoors. The childminder supports children's awareness of healthy lifestyles effectively. Parents provide their children's lunch and the childminder provides them with healthy snacks and a selection of fruits.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy taking part in a wide variety of play activities and quickly develop the skills they need for the next stages in their learning. Children develop their mathematical knowledge well. They competently count, sort and match objects. Children are motivated to explore and persevere in activities that interest them, such as modelling with play dough to create objects and shapes.
