p.1

The provision is good

n Children's behaviour is good. The childminder and her assistants provide plenty of praise and encouragement to help support children's confidence and sense of self- esteem. Children learn to share, be kind to each other and they demonstrate excellent manners. n The childminder closely supervises children and her assistants. Staff deploy themselves well and ensure appropriate steps are taken to reduce and remove hazards to children within the home. This enables children to play and learn in a safe environment. n The childminder works closely with her co-childminder. They monitor children's progress well. Regular observations and tracking helps them to identify where children are making progress and any gaps in their learning. All children make good progress. n The childminder provides a welcoming, homely environment. Children have access to a broad range of resources indoors and outdoors. They become increasingly independent

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her responsibility to safeguard children and knows how to share any concerns about their welfare to help keep children safe. She ensures her assistants understand their responsibility to promote children's welfare and she monitors this. She implements robust recruitment procedures and her assistants follow a structured induction programme. The childminder and co-childminder have regular supervision meetings with the assistants to ensure they remain suitable for their role. The childminder shows good commitment to her own professional development to improve outcomes for children. The childminder works well in partnership with parents and keeps them fully informed regarding their children's progress. She regularly evaluates her provision and identifies areas to develop. Parents frequently complete questionnaires to share their views.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder understands how children learn and develop. She takes into account their interests and provides them with good opportunities to learn. Children are well supported to develop their communication and language skills. The childminder comments on what children are doing and repeats words and phrases to help support their language development effectively. Children enjoy singing and eagerly join in with words and actions to songs and rhymes. Children develop early writing skills, such as when they use a range of different mark-making materials and create their own pictures. Children explore some mathematical concepts, for example, as they play with sand and water outdoors and use cups to fill containers with water.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder works closely with parents from the start to ensure that she meets children's individual care and learning needs. Children have strong attachments to the childminder, co-childminder and her assistants. They are positive role models and have a calm and consistent approach. The childminder helps children to learn about healthy lifestyles. Meals and snacks are nutritious and children know about good hygiene routines, such as washing their hands. Children have plenty of fresh air and exercise and demonstrate their increasing physical coordination and balance. For example, they explore the low-level climbing frame and slide, bounce on the trampoline and climb stairs with increasing control.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children display a positive attitude to learning and are enthusiastic participants in activities. Children enjoy helping with routine tasks and follow simple instructions well. They are sociable and play nicely together. They use good manners and show care and concern for others. They develop skills that prepare them for their move on to their next stage of learning, such as school.
