The provision is good

n Children's communication and language skills are promoted very well by the childminder. She sensitively communicates with children, talks about what they are doing and engages them in discussions. Children listen attentively, learn new words and take turns in conversation. n The quality of care and teaching is good. The childminder enables children to follow their interests in their play and enjoy positive learning experiences. Children are keen to join in, and make good progress in their learning. n Children's independence is consistently encouraged. They follow their own ideas in play and have time to try things by themselves. This helps to promote children's self-esteem and confidence well. n Children are kind, considerate, thoughtful and caring. They consistently use good manners and behave very well. Children settle quickly and form strong bonds with the childminder, who is a good role model. n The childminder monitors her provision effectively and reflects on her practice. She has

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder's commitment to regular safeguarding training equips her with the most up-to-date knowledge of child protection procedures. She has a clear understanding of the possible indicators of abuse. The childminder understands the procedures to follow should she have concerns about the welfare of a child in her care. She effectively uses risk assessments to identify and minimise potential hazards in her home, garden and while on outings. Children learn how to keep themselves safe. For example, the childminder discusses how to use the stairs safely. The childminder welcomes support visits from local authority advisers. These help her to share ideas for good practice that benefit children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder shows a genuine interest in children's exploration. She sensitively joins in with children's play, actively listening to them and supporting their ideas. Children have fun as they race cars down tubes. Their listening is encouraged as they wait while they say 'ready, steady, go'. Children enjoy cutting animal shapes out of dough and developing their language as they name them. The childminder reinforces their language skills as she repeats back the correct pronunciation of words. The childminder completes the progress check for children aged between two and three years, and provides parents with a copy for their child's health visitor. She supports parents with ideas about different ways they can continue their child's learning at home. The childminder reshapes activities, in order to introduce all areas of learning. For example, during creative activities she introduces early mathematics, using cut-out animals to help children count

with her. Children concentrate and are eager to join in the activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder forms secure emotional attachments with children. She knows children very well and responds to their every need. For example, she readily recognises when children become tired and provides a calm and relaxing environment to help soothe them off to sleep. The childminder provides a whole host of opportunities to help to promote children's good health. For example, she engages children in outdoor activities such as walks to a local farm to feed the animals. The childminder offers consistent praise and encouragement to children, which helps to support their confidence and self- esteem. The childminder is a good role model, demonstrating good manners, and supports children to learn social skills, such as sharing.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress from their individual starting points. Children are confident and inquisitive learners who are eager to join in activities. They are supported to acquire self-care skills, such as using the bathroom. Children are developing the skills required for the next stage in their development and eventual move on to school. As a result, outcomes for children are good.
