The provision is good

n The childminder observes the children and plans activities to encourage their development. Children make good progress in their learning and any gaps are identified and addressed. n Children make independent choices from the wide range of easily accessible resources. They enjoy and benefit from many outings in the local community and countryside. n The childminder is caring and attentive. Children settle quickly, indicating they feel safe and secure in her care. n The childminder reviews and reflects on her practice regularly.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder conducts thorough risk assessments to promote children's safety in the home and on outings. She has good knowledge of the action to take if she is concerned about the welfare of a child. The childminder is enthusiastic and clearly enjoys her role. She regularly undertakes training opportunities to successfully extend and improve her knowledge and skills. The childminder builds positive partnerships with parents and professionals. Parents report very favourably on the childminders service. They say their children 'love attending', 'make good progress' and 'undertake a wonderful variety of activities in the outdoors'.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, the childminder demonstrates a good understanding of young children's individual learning needs. She enables them to move freely from one activity to another and make choices in their play. The childminder plans activities and uses her knowledge of individual children's interests and skills to help them to engage in their learning. She supports children's language development, for example, as she asks questions and listens attentively for the answer. The childminder models language clearly, for example, as she reads to the children. Children learn how to use the books with care and know that writing has meaning. They enjoy many opportunities to develop their hand-to-eye coordination, for example, using tools in the dough and digging in the sand.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder promotes children's emotional well-being effectively. She plans settling- in times carefully, helping parents and children to feel confident. This enables her to gain a good understanding of children's development and routines. Children form close attachments with the childminder. She responds to them sensitively and ensures they have opportunities for rest as well as active stimulation. The childminder is a positive role model and children are well behaved. She encourages their self-esteem and confidence as she praises children for their efforts and achievements. Children enjoy regular outings to the countryside and beach. For example, they build dens, learn to walk on different surfaces and experience the changing seasons. Children talk about healthy lifestyles, enjoy healthy foods and participate in lots of physical activity. The childminder encourages children to learn to look after the resources, to share and take

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children demonstrate the skills that will support them well in the next stages of their learning. They are curious and interested in all activities and experiences and are self- confident and increasingly independent. Children demonstrate their creativity as they make cakes and biscuits with dough. They show patience and determination as they find and add the puzzles pieces to a large floor puzzle. They demonstrate increasing skill as they use tools, such as scissors to cut paper and dough. They enjoy mark making, develop their early writing skills and show interest when the childminder measures a snake they have made.
