p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The childminder plans targeted activities that support children's learning well and successfully closes any emerging gaps in their learning. She shares this information with parents effectively to provide children with consistency in their care and learning. The childminder has developed her practice well since her last inspection and has addressed the recommendations made at that time. For example, she now provides further opportunities for children to learn about the natural environment. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands how to keep children safe from harm. She monitors the work of her assistants and offers them the opportunity to access relevant training, such as for safeguarding. They are clear about what procedures to follow if they have a concern about the welfare of a child. The childminder undertakes regular risk assessments in her home and on outings to help keep children safe and secure.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a very good understanding of how children learn. She uses her knowledge of children's interests well to plan interesting activities that motivate children to learn and progress further. For example, children enjoyed using crayons and playing with the sand and water. The childminder and her assistants extended their learning further. For example, they actively encouraged children to identify colours and numbers. The childminder and her assistants effectively help to promote children's speaking and listening skills in different ways. For example, children enjoyed choosing and singing their favourite nursery rhymes and younger children joined in the actions for the songs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle in well and develop close and trusting relationships with the kind and caring childminder and her assistants. They show a strong sense of belonging as they confidently move around the childminder's home. Children develop good friendships and social skills. For example, they learn to share fairly and take turns with toys and resources. They are confident to express their feelings to the childminder and her assistants about things they like. Children develop good levels of independence during activities. For instance, they prepared their own snacks for their picnic in the garden. They adopt good hygiene routines and enjoy healthy meals and regular fresh air.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and gain useful skills for their future learning, including when they move on to school. They are constantly engaged in exciting activities and are encouraged to lead their own play. Babies are eager to join in with the well-planned activities which help them to think and learn new skills. For example, they listen to their favourite rhymes, babble and respond to instructions and smile when they succeed.
