p.1

The provision is good

n The childminder offers a welcoming, home-from-home environment. She is professional, organised and has procedures to ensure she promotes children's welfare effectively at all times. n The childminder uses information from her assessments of children's learning to plan opportunities which promote their ongoing development. She works closely with parents and other settings that children attend to provide a consistent approach to their learning and care. n The childminder knows children well and understands how they learn and develop, particularly those who learn other languages at home. She provides good opportunities for children that follows their interests. Children are successfully engaged and motivated to learn. For instance, two-year-old children respond positively to story time with the childminder. They listen well and talk to the childminder about what might happen next. n Children behave well.

expectations and the boundaries she sets. They learn to control their feelings and emotions, and follow routines well. For example, children help when it is tidy up time.

p.1

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of safeguarding procedures, including the signs that a child may be at risk of extreme views and behaviours. She carries out detailed risk assessments and removes potential hazards to help keep children safe. The childminder increases her professional development well to better support children's outcomes so that the children in her care make good progress. For example, she completes further training and regularly meets with other childcare professionals to discuss new and recent changes to legislation and to develop her teaching and childcare practices. She is fully aware of the importance of continuing to build on her partnerships with other settings children attend to fully support consistency in children's learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder observes and assesses children's progress, and planning for their future learning is based on her good knowledge of what they already know and can do. She challenges children effectively while she supports their play. The childminder provides good support for children at different stages of development in their communication and language skills. For example, children identify key objects, such as leaves, and their colours while they play, and the childminder offers good support as they begin to develop their speaking skills. Children enjoy singing their favourite songs and rhymes. The childminder supports children's interest in books. Children are beginning to select their favourites for the childminder to read. The childminder utilises children's interest in books to extend and develop their emerging imaginations and interests.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder maintains a safe, welcoming and stimulating environment. She knows how young children learn best and supports them effectively to try new things. This helps children develop their confidence and independence as they play. For example, young children choose from the resources provided and initiate their own play by banging toys together to make noise. They smile at the childminder, sharing their excitement, and she reciprocates this with lots of praise and encouragement. The childminder provides nutritious meals and snacks. She encourages young children to be healthy by supporting them to eat well. Children behave well and the childminder leads by example. She is consistently polite and respectful, and encourages the children to use good manners.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children progress well from their starting points. They gain the skills they need to help them with the next stage in their learning and their eventual move on to school. Children learn how to be independent, for example, two-year-old children find their coats and shoes and try hard to put them on. They are confident to ask for help from the childminder when they need it. Children play with a range of resources and are supported to make choices and follow their interests in their play.
