p.1

The provision is good

n Children behave well. The childminder gently reminds children of her expectations. For example, she encourages children to share resources and praises them when they are being kind and considerate towards each other. n Young children show curiosity and are keen to learn. They remain engaged in activities for long periods and make good progress in their learning. n The childminder accesses support through training and sharing of good practice with other professionals. This is helping her to continually build on her already good childcare knowledge. n The childminder effectively monitors the progress children make in relation to their starting points. She gathers all important information from parents about their children when they first start and on an ongoing basis. She uses this information to support her effectively in meeting children's care and learning needs.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her role to protect children from harm. She knows the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. The childminder has a clear understanding of who she must refer any concerns to. She completes regular fire drills, and risk assesses her home and garden on a daily basis. This all contributes to keeping children safe and secure. Parents' views about the childcare provision are sought through discussion and written feedback. This contributes to the successful monitoring and evaluation of the provision. Written parent's comments describe her as being 'well qualified' and 'experienced'.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder regularly observes children's play. She closely monitors children's progress which helps her to identify any developing gaps in their learning. The childminder then swiftly provides the support they need to help them progress. She makes learning enjoyable and knows when to step in and out of children's play. The childminder is skilled at responding to children's interests and plans exciting activities which promotes their learning. She knows children enjoy tactile experiences and plans accordingly. For instance, the childminder provides a wide variety of dried cereals for the children to explore and use when playing imaginatively with the farm and animals. Children enjoy interactive toys and discover that by pressing the switch they can turn on the music. They have lots of fun.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is warm and caring, and meets children's individual care needs effectively. Children form secure emotional bonds with her. They have daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise. Children enjoy being out in the garden where they develop their physical skills as they climb, slide and balance. The childminder promotes children's social skills well. For example, she plans regular visits to playgroups, the park and various places of interest. This enables children to mix with others and explore exciting environments. The childminder encourages children to learn how to be independent from a young age. For example, they help themselves to drinks of water, and tidy toys and resources away.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are happy, they show enjoyment and enthusiasm in their activities and are keen to make choices about their learning. Young children are beginning to use mathematical language as they play and in their daily routines. For instance, they count their shoes as they get dressed. Children play musical instruments and join in with actions songs, moving their bodies to the rhythm of the music. They are developing good social skills and settle quickly in the childminder's care. Children are gaining the skills they need for future learning and the move on to school.
