p.1

The provision is good

n Children make good progress from their starting points. The childminder encourages children to choose what they want to play with and responds to their interests to extend and challenge their learning and development. n The childminder listens attentively to what children say and develops their confidence to communicate. Older children develop good understanding and are eager to talk and engage in conversation. For example, during cooking activities they enthusiastically identify the colour of ingredients and the number of muffin cases. n The childminder provides children with a very positive role model. Children are well behaved and cooperative. The childminder supports children to develop good social skills. She encourages children to be caring and considerate towards others. Children form close friendships. n The childminder works well in partnership with parents to help children who have recently started in her care to feel emotionally secure. She patiently responds to

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder supervises children well at all times to meet their individual needs. She completes safeguarding training and keeps her good understanding of child protection procedures up to date. She knows what to do if she is concerned about a child's safety. The childminder evaluates and continually improves her good teaching practice and outcomes for children. She has improved how she works with local pre-schools to share information about children's progress and promote continuity. The childminder has also improved how she involves children in her self-evaluation process. She has displayed photographs of play equipment at the children's level. Children learn to make choices and show the childminder what they want to play with by using the photographs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a good range of activities and experiences that motivates children to learn. She gradually introduces different materials that support their sensory development. For instance, children enjoy exploring dried cereal and shaving foam containing toy animals. Older children are beginning to use paint to create circles and eagerly show their parents what they have achieved. The childminder gets down to the children's level, joins in their play and clearly explains and shows them what to do during activities. The childminder shows great enthusiasm when children develop a new skill; for instance, when babies build and knock down towers using wooden blocks and learn to feed themselves using their hands.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Babies develop the confidence to separate from the childminder and play independently for a short time. The childminder stays close to them and gives them lots of affection and reassurance. She supports children to learn about their identity and understand differences in society. She talks with them about members of their family and plans activities to celebrate children's birthdays and cultural events. The childminder promotes children's good health. She provides children with nutritious homemade meals and adapts the texture of food for babies who are being weaned. All children enjoy playing actively outdoors; for instance, during outings to local parks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need for starting school. They are interested in discovering how things work, for instance, while using battery-operated resources, such as a mixer in the role-play area. Older children develop good independence. They learn to use tools safely, such as while cutting and grating carrots and courgettes during cooking activities.
