The childminder has a good understanding of child protection procedures and current legislation. She regularly completes safeguarding training and knows what to do if she is concerned about a child's safety. The childminder continually evaluates and improves her professional development and good teaching practice. She has improved how she adapts most activities to challenge and extend children's learning and development. The childminder checks and reviews children's progress, and identifies and promotes their next steps for learning. Children continue to make good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides children with a good range of activities and experiences that meets their individual needs. She encourages and praises children and sets clear boundaries so they know what is expected. Younger children thoroughly enjoy learning outdoors. For example, during outings to the woods they make stick people, paint stones, rub bark using crayons and act out stories. Children develop good control of their physical movements. For instance, they enjoy discovering different sounds while energetically playing musical instruments. Younger children enjoy playing games of football and croquet at the park. Older children often choose to draw pictures of their family.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder forms close emotional relationships with the children. She provides them with a positive role model. She patiently encourages children to eat healthy items, such as carrot and cucumber sticks at lunchtime. The childminder regularly takes children to activities, such as local toddler groups. Children widen their friendships and develop good social skills. They enjoy taking part in group singing and craft activities, and develop good physical skills. The childminder provides children with a clean, stimulating and well- organised environment, both indoors and outdoors. She follows good hygiene practice at all times. The childminder supports children to learn about their safety. She talks to them about stranger danger and how to cross roads safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need for starting school. They listen and concentrate well while listening to stories and enjoy looking at books independently. Children confidently repeat parts of the stories they know as well as making up their own version. Children develop close friendships and good manners. They often remember to say 'please' and 'thank you', and tell others 'well done' during activities. Children develop good independence skills. They learn to use the toilet, wash their hands and dress themselves.
