p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder knows children very well. She works closely with parents to meet children's individual needs. The childminder skilfully and seamlessly challenges and extends children's learning within all activities and routine events. Children make good progress in their learning, and some are exceeding typical levels of development. n The childminder provides children with a wide range of activities and experiences that motivate them to learn. Children have good opportunities to understand the world. They thoroughly enjoy singing songs while travelling circular routes on a bus which they catch from a stop outside the childminder's home. n The childminder supports children's emotional and social development well. She forms close relationships with children and rapidly develops their social skills. Younger children develop the confidence to join in activities. They play happily alongside other children and are very interested in other people.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of child protection procedures and how to keep children safe. Since registration she has kept her knowledge of safeguarding up to date. She has attended training and gained a qualification in the principles of safeguarding and protecting children, young people or vulnerable adults. The childminder consistently talks with parents and has a good understanding of what children learn at home. She continues this learning with children to extend their development and promote continuity. The childminder has changed the systems she uses to assess children's development. She now uses a secure online system to record information about children's progress. Parents are now more involved in their children's learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder effectively supports children to understand the world. She regularly takes children on a wide range of outings. For instance, to the library, toddler groups, historic gardens, parks and swimming. The childminder joins in with children's play and responds to the choices they make to successfully promote their learning. Older children develop good communication skills that are above typical levels of development. They confidently respond to questions. They say how old they are, who is the tallest and the names of toy dinosaurs. The childminder uses younger children's interests to initiate activities that involve others. Children enjoy playing ball games and listening to stories. They learn to join in with the actions while the childminder sings familiar songs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well behaved and cooperative. The childminder provides children with a positive role model. She talks aloud and shows and explains to children how to do things. She supports them to use the wooden stepping stones in her garden and counts aloud as they progress forwards. The childminder fully supports children's good health and physical coordination. Children enjoy threading grapes, blueberries and raspberries onto sticks to make and eat fruit kebabs at snack time. Children learn how to stay safe. Under the childminders close supervision they learn to use the garden steps safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills they need for starting school. They listen, follow instructions, concentrate well and persist in trying to do things for themselves. They thoroughly enjoy making healthy sandwiches to eat at lunchtime. Younger children attempt to put on their wellington boots before playing outdoors. Older children enjoy challenges and are keen to find out how things work. They independently fill and empty pipettes with water, and use sponges and containers that spray water to clean wheeled toys.
