p.1

The provision is good

n Children make good progress in their learning. The childminder observes children and consistently observes and assesses their development. She makes effective use of this information to promote children's individual learning needs. n The childminder shares important information with parents about children, which helps to enhance continuity of care between the setting and home. n The childminder knows the children well.

This effectively supports their physical development, coordination and understanding of the world. n Children enjoy their learning. The childminder follows the children's interests and builds on their experiences, creating learning opportunities as they play. Children make good

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to follow safeguarding procedures and can identify any risks to children's welfare. She carries out regular risk assessments to help keep children safe. The childminder effectively evaluates her practice to identify areas where she can improve to help children achieve better outcomes. For example, she has met the previous recommendations raised at the last inspection. She has increased the range of resources she has and offers younger children interesting sensory learning experiences. The childminder regularly improves her knowledge, understanding and practice to help provide better care and education for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is a good role model and joins in to encourage children to become independent learners. This motivates children to get involved with the activities. For example, children, including babies, lead their play and extend their learning. The childminder encourages children to learn about people and communities beyond their immediate experiences. Children reflect on events in which they have engaged. For example, young children share stories about their holiday. The childminder teaches children well and supports their learning to ensure that they are prepared for school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder helps children to gain confidence in different social situations, such as when they meet other children at toddler group sessions. Children confidently make choices about what they would like to play with and ask for support when needed. Children behave well and enjoy working together. They enjoy eating fresh fruit and learning about different food. Children and families receive clear messages about adopting a healthy lifestyle. For instance, parents comment that they appreciate the children playing outdoors every day. Children feel good about themselves and gain confidence. They are sensitive and caring, and understand how to respond to one another's needs. For example, they comfort one another when they feel upset. The childminder has high expectations for all children and encourages them to manage their self-care. They practise life skills in caring for a baby when they play with dolls.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are working comfortably within the typical range of development for their age. Younger children move their body to sounds they enjoy, such as music. Toddlers listen with interest to the noises adults make when they read stories. Children understand simple sentences and select familiar objects by name, and will go and find objects when asked.
