n Children make good progress in their learning. They develop skills that prepare them well for their future learning and school. For example, they enjoy the responsibility of carrying out small tasks and are outgoing towards unfamiliar people. n The childminder is committed to her role and her ongoing professional development. She makes good use of training opportunities to improve her knowledge and skills, which helps enhance her practice. n Children are happy and secure and have warm relationships with the childminder.

Children ask the childminder to read them some of their favourite books. They show high levels of interest and enjoyment as they look at pictures and

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching and impact on children's learning. n The inspector sampled written feedback from parents about the childminding service and discussed with the childminder how she evaluates the provision to bring about improvements. n The inspector viewed a sample of documentation, including safeguarding policies and procedures and children's records. n The inspector viewed the areas of the home used by children. n The inspector asked the childminder questions throughout the inspection to establish her understanding of safeguarding children and how she monitors their learning and development.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder promotes children's learning and monitors their achievements consistently to ensure they make good progress in their development. She has established positive relationships with parents and staff at other early years settings that children attend. There are effective arrangements for sharing details about children's development to promote continuity of care and learning, which means children's needs are met successfully. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has completed relevant training and is aware of what to do in the event of a concern about the welfare of a child. She supports her assistant well and provides information and training to ensure they fully understand their duty to safeguard children. She regularly reflects on her own practice and takes account of parents' views to help her to develop her provision further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children well. She uses their interests successfully to help them to engage in adult-led activities. For example, children enjoy sharing stories with the childminder and make links to their own experiences, such as recalling when they visited a garden centre to see real reindeer. The childminder successfully encourages children to be independent in preparing for activities. For instance, when they participate in yoga, children gather their own mats and place these on the floor ready for the activity. Children are eager to join in with activities and the childminder becomes actively involved in their play. For example, children enjoy using play food and a tea set to role play pouring tea and sorting the food. As they do this, she extends their language, such as naming the foods that they have chosen.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have good opportunities to be physically active. For example, they participate in yoga activities and move their bodies in a variety of ways, whilst learning about the positive effect that exercise and rest has on the body. The childminder places a good focus on children's safety. She uses spontaneous events to help them to understand how to keep themselves safe. For example, when a decoration from the Christmas tree is broken, she explains to children that they must not go near until she has cleaned the area. Children demonstrate an excellent awareness of how to keep themselves safe, such as knowing that broken glass can be sharp and they must not touch it otherwise they may cut themselves.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They develop good speaking and listening skills and listen to others during their play. They respond to simple instructions and are eager to help complete tasks, such as tidying toys after play. They show good control and coordination in large movements and can move confidently in a range of ways. They demonstrate friendly behaviour towards others and understand the need to take turns and share the resources. They show good levels of imagination and engage in role-play activities based on their own experiences.
