p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder implements a variety of records, policies and procedures, which helps to support her good practice. She carries out daily safety checks to reduce any hazards. This helps her to promote children's safety and welfare at the highest level.  The childminder completes regular observations of children and assesses their progress well. She uses the information that she gathers to identify their next steps in learning effectively. Individual planning ensures that activities follow children's interests and the childminder targets these well.  The childminder has good partnerships with parents. She communicates effectively, sharing daily information about children's learning and development. Parents comment very positively about the care and learning experiences their children receive.  Children behave well. The childminder is a good role model and she consistently promotes good manners and encourages children to cooperate and take turns together.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder completes suitable child protection training. She is mindful of possible signs of abuse, such as unexplained bruising and the worsening of a child's general well-being. The childminder knows the local safeguarding procedures to follow in the event of any concerns about a child in her care. The childminder meets with other local childminders and shares good practice ideas. Assessment and monitoring of children's progress is precise. This enables the childminder to identify any gaps or delays in children's learning quickly and address them. The childminder is beginning to reflect on her provision overall, and identifies where improvements can be made. Parents contribute to this process through questionnaires.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The qualified and experienced childminder knows children well. She understands their stage of development and their individual capabilities. The childminder interacts purposefully with children and plans activities, which excite and motivate children to learn. The childminder understands how to develop children's mathematical skills as they play. For example, she challenges children to count the number of candles on a cake and encourages them to complete jigsaws independently. Overall, the childminder supports children's language development well. For example, she constantly talks with children about what they are doing and introduces new words as they play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder gets to know children and their families well. A good range of information is gathered from parents on home visits and during settling-in sessions. This has a positive impact on children's emotional well-being. The childminder creates a warm and welcoming environment. She has a range of resources, which children access independently. This helps them to make choices about their learning. The childminder makes good use of the local area to extend learning opportunities. For example, she takes children to local parks and indoor play areas where they explore climbing equipment and test their physical skills. Children benefit from nutritionally balanced meals to help support their understanding of a healthy lifestyle. Children develop good social skills as they attend groups and interact with other adults and children.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. Children develop their small- muscle skills as they carefully thread animal shapes onto laces. Children learn to recognise their own needs, such as when they are thirsty or tired. They make friendships and have a positive attitude to learning. The skills they are acquiring prepare them well for their next stage in learning, including their eventual move on to nursery or school.
