p.1

The provision is good

n All children make good progress in their development and are motivated to learn. The childminder provides a wide range of activities and resources that children enjoy. She knows children's interests and plans well for their learning. n Children develop good communication and language skills. The childminder supports children to hold conversations and widen their vocabulary. n Children are confident and happy in the childminder's care. Their secure attachments to the childminder provide reassurance and they readily express their choices and ideas. n Parents are very pleased with the care and education their children receive and the information they get from the childminder. This helps them to continue their child's learning at home.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of the signs and indicators of abuse and neglect and understands the referral procedure if she has any concerns. She has a range of clear procedures and policies that she uses to underpin her practice and support children's safety and general well-being effectively. The childminder reflects on the quality of her provision and regularly gathers the views of parents to ensure they are happy with the service she provides. The qualified childminder keeps herself up to date with training and any new legislation to continue her professional development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder gains a good amount of information from parents about their children before they start in her care. She uses this information and observations of children at play to assess children's progress. The childminder's teaching is responsive to children's needs and interests. She skilfully follows young children's lead and enhances their play. For example, she helps children to develop their communication and language skills exceptional well. She uses a good range of questioning techniques and gives children plenty of time to respond to her. The childminder introduces mathematical concepts to children as they play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder takes time to help children feel comfortable in her care. During settling- in sessions she builds meaningful relationships with children and parents. This helps children to settle in quickly and feel at ease in their new environment. The childminder is responsive to children's care needs. For example, when younger children show signs of tiredness she organises meals around their individual needs. The childminder supports children's good health well. For instance, they learn about the importance of washing germs off their hands from an early age. Children eat healthy foods and play outdoors daily in the fresh air.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are prepared well for their eventual move on to school. They make good friendships with their peers, they share and play well together. Children listen well and follow instructions and are developing their independence skills well. For example, they try to put on their own bibs ready for snack and mealtimes. They are confident and curious, like to experiment and are learning how things work. Children are starting to use numbers during their play, for instance they count the number of animals during a matching game.
