p.1

The provision is good

n Children behave very well and play together cooperatively across the age groups. They demonstrate good manners and are kind and helpful towards each other. The childminder is a positive role model. She provides clear boundaries and has high expectations for all the children in her care. n The childminder supports children to understand about following a healthy lifestyle. They enjoy home-cooked, nutritious meals and benefit from regular exercise and fresh air. n Partnerships with parents are strong. The childminder exchanges information with parents every day about children's routines and experiences. This helps to support a consistent approach to their care. n Children learn about how to keep themselves safe. For example, the childminder actively involves children in assessing risks during their walk from school to her home. Children follow the childminder's procedures, such as wearing fluorescent vests to help

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a good understanding of the signs of possible abuse and knows what actions to take should she have any concerns about children's welfare. She completes risk assessments of her home, garden and the walks to and from school and reviews these regularly to help minimise any risks. This helps to keep children safe from harm. The childminder takes account of the views of parents and children when reflecting on the quality of her services and planning any changes. She communicates effectively with the school attended by children to help secure continuity of care. The childminder supports and supervises her assistant effectively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children's needs and interests very well. She encourages children to take part in discussions about their day at school while they are sitting together enjoying their evening meal. This helps them to practise their conversational skills and to feel valued in her home. The childminder gives children plenty of choices, for example, they decide which piece of fruit they would prefer for dessert. Children can freely access a wide range of fun resources in the playroom. They delight in setting up a puppet show together, finding boxes and blankets to create a theatre. Older children play well with younger ones. They all share resources and respect each other's ideas. Children delight in outdoor play, for example, making dens, playing with mud and water and joining in ball games. The childminder demonstrates skills for children, such as showing them how to hold a knife and fork correctly. She is playful, enthusiastic, and engages well with all

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a welcoming environment for children, before and after school. Children show that they feel safe with the childminder and have developed warm, secure relationships with her. The childminder provides settling-in visits for children before they start attending her setting regularly. She gathers information from parents when their children begin to attend her setting, to inform her planning to meet their needs. For example, she finds out which foods children like and provides these on their first visit. This helps them to feel a sense of belonging from the start. Parents comment that their children are 'happy, safe and confident' and that the childminder is 'attentive and fair'. Children form strong friendships with each other and practise their socialising skills. They chat happily as they sit together on the sofa to relax.
