This provision is good

 The childminder plans and provides children with interesting and challenging experiences, which help them to become keen and motivated learners. All children make good progress in their learning, given their starting capabilities and interests.  Children settle in well and develop close and trusting relationships with the kind and caring childminder. They show a strong sense of belonging as they confidently move around the childminder's home.  The childminder carries out online training and works with the local authority team to help her continually develop her practice. This helps her to raise the quality of her provision and extend children's overall learning experiences.  The childminder skilfully supports children to develop their communication skills effectively to become confident talkers. For example, she enthusiastically talks to children as they play and encourages them to repeat new words to increase their

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands the signs to be aware of and the procedures to follow if she has any concerns regarding children's welfare. She has completed training on the wider safeguarding issues. The childminder completes thorough risk assessments which help her to minimise any hazards to children. Overall, the childminder monitors her practice well and is keen to further develop her skills to improve outcomes for children. She effectively identifies areas where they need extra support and narrows any gaps in children's learning and development. She shares this information with parents, to ensure that she provides children with consistency in their care and meets their individual needs effectively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder plans and provides a range of stimulating activities to meet children's individual learning needs and interests. She uses good methods for assessing children's needs and ensures her planning covers all aspects of learning. The childminder promotes younger children's physical skills well. For example, children listen to musical songs and enjoy exploring with musical instruments as they willingly do physical movements and dance to the rhythms effectively. Children develop an awareness of how to use technology from a young age. For instance, they learn to press buttons on electronic toys to make sounds. The childminder extends their learning further, such as by introducing colours and encouraging them to identify different animal sounds.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder constantly gives the children her time and attention and has very warm and positive relationships with them. She uses positive and purposeful praise and encouragement. Children's behaviour is good. The childminder encourages children to develop independence to prepare them well for their next stage in learning. For example, children help to tidy up and initiate their own play. Children learn about the wider world and attend a variety of outings, such as to local play centres. This helps them to develop good social skills and learn to share toys and take turns. The childminder promotes children's good health effectively. For example, they benefit from eating nutritious meals and have regular opportunities for exciting outdoor activities and exercise.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and are well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including when they move on to school. They show good levels of concentration and persevere well at tasks. They grow in confidence and are happy and confident learners. Younger children are eager to join in with the well-planned activities that help them to think, problem solve and learn new skills. They develop good language skills. For example, they respond to instructions, smiling when they succeed.
