This provision is good

 Children make good progress from their starting points. The childminder monitors children's progress well.

Children make good use of the toys and experiences on offer and are motivated to play and learn.  Children's behaviour is impeccable. The childminder is an excellent role model.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a clear understanding of her role and responsibility to protect children. She knows the procedures to follow if she has a concern about the welfare of a child and keeps up to date with current safeguarding guidance. The childminder monitors her practice and supervises her assistant well. She has addressed the recommendations made at her previous inspection. For example, she provides more opportunities for children to enrich their early reading skills. The childminder regularly reviews and tracks children's progress effectively and shares this information with parents to help promote consistency in children's care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder uses good teaching strategies. She helps younger children to develop their understanding of language and supports their speaking skills well. For example, they share books and children point out their favourite animals in the pictures, while the childminder introduces new words and vocabulary. The childminder builds on younger children's emerging mathematical skills effectively. For example, she encourages children to play with shape sorters and count during activities. Younger children are creative and play imaginatively with a range of materials. For example, they use spaghetti with paint to make bracelets. The childminder extends children's learning further and asks them to identify lengths, colours and to feel the different textures.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children form extremely close attachments to the childminder. They approach her readily for cuddles and reassurance, confident their needs will be fully understood and acted upon. Children show that they feel highly valued and settled. They develop high levels of independence during activities as they choose from a wealth of high-quality resources which are easily available to them. Children develop very good self-care skills around personal hygiene and enjoy exceptionally healthy meals and regular opportunities for fresh air. Children's safety is an exceptionally strong focus of the childminder. She uses a variety of inspirational activities to support children to learn how to keep themselves safe. For example, she ensures children are very aware about what to do in an emergency and how to evacuate the house safely and quickly.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress. They show enthusiasm in all of their activities and are eager to learn. They show good levels of concentration and persevere well to complete tasks, for example, when sorting and matching puzzles. They visit places of interest and local playgroups, and have excellent opportunities to socialise and learn about differences between themselves and others. Children grow in confidence and gain skills that prepare them well for their next stage in learning, including when they move on to school.
