What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector held a number of discussions with the childminder. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of persons living in the household. n The inspector spoke to children during the inspection. n The inspector took account of the views of parents through written feedback provided.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is aware of the signs of abuse and neglect and recognises what action to take if she has any concerns. She identifies the procedures to follow should an allegation be made against herself or a family member. The childminder has addressed the action and recommendations from her previous inspection to raise the outcomes for children. Regular risk assessments are completed to ensure any ongoing potential risks are identified and addressed. Consequently, the childminder provides a safe environment for children. Children's development is monitored and reviewed to ensure that they make good progress. This enables the childminder to quickly identify gaps in children's learning and plan activities to support them to make continual improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are active, inquisitive and enjoy the time they spend with the childminder. They confidently move around the setting choosing what they would like to do. The childminder plays alongside children and responds to what they say. She knows the children well, providing toys and activities, which reflect their interests. Children readily engage in a wide range of imaginative games and activities. For example, they enjoy playing with toy vehicles, explore the doll's house and move to music. This supports their creative development and enables them to draw on their own experiences. The childminder maintains communication with parents. She ensures that parents receive daily feedback about children's routines and daily experiences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children demonstrate that they feel valued and safe. They are developing high levels of self-esteem due to the childminder's sensitive and caring manner. The childminder sets a good example and gives clear messages to encourage children to develop positive attitudes and good behaviour. This helps children to feel confident about themselves as individuals and to respect others. The childminder ensures the daily routine is directed by the children's unique needs. For example, sleep and mealtimes are provided when the children require them rather than at set times. Children are offered good opportunities to be physically active and benefit from fresh air. The childminder encourages children to manage their own care requirements, appropriate for their age.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children settle quickly and enjoy a good range of experiences. This helps them to develop a strong curiosity for learning and engage well in their play. Children learn to listen and follow simple instructions. They manage simple tasks for themselves to support aspects of their independence. Children are learning how to cooperate with others and develop skills and attitudes they need for the next stages in their learning, including starting school.
