p.1

This provision is good

 Children make good progress from their starting points. The childminder uses her knowledge, qualifications and skill to adapt activities that help children learn. For example, she sensitively guides toddlers to use more tools that support their physical development and new learning experiences.  Children benefit from the effective partnerships the childminder has with parents and others involved in their care. This is illustrated in the way the childminder organises meetings to support children who transfer to other settings to support consistency in their care and learning.  The childminder understands children's moods and different behaviour patterns well. She encourages their good social skills and ability to play cooperatively with others.  The childminder helps children to learn about keeping healthy through exercise and encouraging them to eat the well-balanced meals she provides.

benefit from their rest times and regular outdoor play activities.

p.1

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has stringent procedures to help keep children safe at home and when they go on outings. In addition, she knows how to identify and report concerns about children's welfare to the appropriate agencies. The childminder evaluates the effectiveness of her service well. She has attended many training courses to support her continuing professional development. For example, following training, she has enhanced the children's play environment. This enables children to use the resources and space exceptionally well to further support their independence. Parents are highly appreciative of the service and support the childminder gives. The childminder shares her experience and knowledge of childcare to reassure parents of children's progress and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are excited to join in with activities led by the childminder. She effectively follows children's interests, ensures their learning is enjoyable and helps children learn in different ways. For example, the childminder organises trips to farms and zoos to satisfy children's curiosity about different animals. She follows these with activities at home, such as looking at books and engaging in imaginary play with toy animals. The children learn the names of animals and where they live, which helps them to understand the differences in creatures. When playing with water, the childminder skilfully shows children how to use different resources, such as pumps and pipes, to engage children to experiment even further. This helps to support their emerging ability to solve problems.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop loving bonds with the childminder and show they are happy, confident and settled in her care. The childminder helps children to integrate and mix with others in their community well. For example, they learn about different cultures and customs during visits to places such as libraries and play centres. Children are highly active and the childminder helps to raise their awareness of keeping healthy and safe. They eagerly access the trampoline, remembering to securely fasten the safety zip before they jump vigorously, and demonstrate good coordination. Children help themselves to water when they are thirsty, and show a developing awareness of keeping themselves healthy.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are working comfortably within the range of development typical for their age and make good progress. They are keen learners and have a strong exploratory impulse. Children build good social skills and learn how to dress themselves. They become confident and make decisions about what to play with and where they play. This helps children to become ready for the next phase in their learning, including their eventual move to school.
