p.1

This provision is good

n The childminder teaches children about the world around them well. For example, the childminder speaks in French and tells children that a croissant is a French patisserie. n The childminder promotes healthy living well. She teaches children about the importance of healthy eating and helps children to have an understanding of where food comes from. For instance, children go to farms and pick their own fruit. n Children are aware of their own needs and begin to perform simple tasks on their own. Their understanding of responsibility is developing, for example through tasks such as tidying away toys and putting their own shoes and coats on. n The childminder monitors children's progress and identifies any gaps in learning well. She puts plans in place to help ensure all children make good progress. n The childminder supports children's developing self-esteem effectively. For example, she cuddles and praises children and promotes their emotional well-being.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is aware of what to look out for if she has a concern about a child's welfare, and she has effective procedures to follow. She keeps up to date with new legislation and develops her practice well. For example, after conducting her own research into how children learn, she is now better able to plan specific activities to motivate boys. The childminder seeks the views of children and parents to help her make improvements to her setting. Since the last inspection, the childminder has developed systems to share information with all other settings children attend in order to ensure consistency in their care and learning. She now also obtains detailed information from parents about children's starting points, to help her plan fully for their learning from the start.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder teaches early mathematical skills well. For example, she encourages children to recognise shapes and she uses language such as 'lots' and 'many'. This helps children's mathematical knowledge to develop further. The childminder plans activities that follow children's learning needs and interests. For example, she uses dinosaurs and play dough to encourage children to count. Children learn that some dinosaurs flew, some swam and some had fur. The childminder extends learning well. She teaches children about diversity effectively. For example, children learn about different beliefs and how some cultures fast during different festivals and celebrations.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder teaches children how to manage their personal risk and safety well. For example, she teaches young children how to sit safely on a chair and explains the risks of falling. The childminder is a good role model and children behave well. For instance, they are beginning to be aware of the needs of others and understand emotions. The childminder works well with parents and uses similar strategies for continuity of children's learning. For example, she shares strategies to help encourage children's good behaviour.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children learn about the world around them well. For example, they learn how eggs come from chickens. Children learn about rules and how people have different opinions. For instance, they vote on whether to have scrambled or fried eggs. Children learn that their opinions count and their views are respected. They learn to share and take turns well. They have opportunities to practise their physical and social skills in a variety of ways, for example during visits to the park, farms and soft-play centres and during visits to the local care home. Children make good progress from their starting points.
