For example, they count as they play with confidence. n There are good opportunities for children to develop their understanding of the importance of healthy eating. For instance, they are keen to harvest their own healthy produce, like spinach and courgettes. n The childminder effectively reviews her practice.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good
The childminder is keen to keep up to date with new early years updates and build on her knowledge and skills even further. The childminder attends training beneficial to her practice. For example, she has learnt about the different ways to support two-year-old children to enjoy their play. The childminder has used her learning to make positive changes to her practice, such as introducing new activity ideas to interest younger children. The childminder establishes positive partnerships with parents and helps keep them involved in their children's learning. For instance, she encourages them to add to their children's progress records and shares their achievements daily. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge of the safeguarding and child protection procedures to follow to help keep children safe and protect their welfare. This includes knowing the ratio she is required to meet. The childminder supervises all

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good
children effectively, this includes during walks to pick up older children from school. The childminder knows the importance of never leaving children unsupervised or in the care of any unauthorised adults. The childminder records and closely monitors children's attendance.
p.3
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good
The childminder closely monitors and tracks children's individual progress. This enables her to highlight any gaps in their development promptly and provide children with good support to help close them. The childminder skilfully builds on children's interests and ideas. For example, children who are excited by a story about birds, go on to visit the duck pond and look at different types of birds as they feed the geese. The childminder helps children to prepare for their eventual move on to school well. For example, children confidently give meaning to marks they make as they paint and draw.
p.3
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good
Children are polite and behave well. For example, children say 'please' and 'thank you' without reminders. Children develop good social skills and build meaningful friendships. For example, they play happily together and take turns and share resources maturely. Children develop good physical skills. For example, they confidently negotiate larger climbing and balancing equipment at regular trips to the park.
p.3
Outcomes for children are good
All children, including those who speak English as an additional language make good progress in relation to their individual starting points. For example, children learn key words in other languages, such as 'hello' in French and Lithuanian. Children develop good skills to support their future learning. They are independent to choose their own play and find their own belongings. Children develop a good understanding of how things work. For example, they enjoy a wide range of technology, such as remote-control toys.
