This provision is good

 The childminder knows the children well. She provides good-quality activities to help support children's learning and development and to make good progress.  The childminder reviews her own practice and undertakes training that helps to benefit the children in her care. Recent training has helped her to review behaviour management strategies. For example, she uses distraction techniques that help children to calm down and to refocus. Children behave well.  The childminder works closely with parents and gathers their views to help improve her practice. Recent suggestions have been for the childminder to provide more information about the activities the children carry out. She now feeds back to parents about their child's day. This helps to provide good continuity of care for the children.  The childminder works with the parents to gather key words and phrases in children's home languages. She uses these with great effect to help settle children and for them

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder has a clear understanding of the procedures to follow if she has any concerns regarding children's welfare and well-being. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder works closely with parents and other professionals to make sure she supports children's individual needs. She recently reviewed her practice working with babies and updated her knowledge and understanding of this. This has helped her to adapt activities and care practices to support children's personal and social development. The childminder successfully works with parents to help provide continuity in children's learning. For example, she shares information with them about their child's development and how this can be extended at home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder obtains information about children's starting points and works with parents to assess what stages of development children have reached. She also finds out information about children's interests and recent achievements at home to inform her good-quality planning. Overall, this helps the childminder to progress children's learning and development well. She is highly sensitive to the needs of the children and gently encourages them to try new activities, helping to build on their learning. The childminder teaches the children how to use their fingers and other body parts to make marks on paper. This helps them to develop their physical development. The childminder responds to children's babbles and helps them to learn new words. For example, she repeats back to them words, such as 'duck' and 'quack' as they play with puppets to help develop their language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder makes sure that when she prepares food for the children that it is safe. For example, she cuts up grapes and fruit, so that they do not pose a choking risk. She teaches the children the importance of sitting down as they eat, so they can learn how to keep themselves safe. Children enjoy snuggling into the childminder for cuddles of reassurance and support. This helps to build their confidence and when they are ready they happily go off to explore. The childminder responds well to children's individual needs and to when they require sleep. She follows children's routines well to help them settle quickly. This helps to support their personal and social development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development and are ready for their next stage of learning. Children develop good physical skills and learn how to coast around furniture. Children beam with pride as they move themselves between gaps. They develop their small-muscle skills as they learn how to feed themselves.
