n The childminder knows children in her care well. Children are well settled and enjoy being in her company. They display confidence and are secure in their environment, accessing resources as they become of interest to them. n Children are beginning to learn about positive behaviour and the impact of their actions on others. The childminder has a calm and consistent approach, which allows children to learn from positive example. As a result, children offer each other support and kindness. n Observations, tracking and planning support children's ongoing development and gaps in learning are identified quickly. This allows support for learning and development to be implemented swiftly by the childminder. Information is shared with parents to support home learning and development.

information about children's learning is shared regularly. This two-way process is effective and allows the childminder to keep her knowledge of children's interests and home achievements fresh and relevant. n Self-evaluation helps the childminder to identify ways to improve and move children's learning forward.

Actions and recommendations have been addressed from the last inspection, showing a commitment to improve. n Although links to the local school have been made to support future learning and transitions, these relationships are not extend to all schools that children will eventually move on to.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder keeps her home well maintained and suitable for childcare. She completes regular risk assessments to help protect children from harm and acts on any identified hazards immediately. For example, she removes items from the play area that may be a risk to children, such as broken toys and resources. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a good understanding of child protection procedures and the signs, symptoms and indicators she needs to be aware of. She has procedures in place should she ever have concerns about a child in her care, along with a clear allegations management policy. Parents are made aware of all policies and expectations to ensure children are further protected and well cared for.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder prepares activities for children that interest them and encourage learning. Children build towers and bridges with blocks in various sizes and shapes. They problem solve and discuss the best way to build items, and work together to create their vision. The childminder skilfully extends children's understanding of early mathematics. She explains how to make different shapes using the smaller shapes on offer and encourages children to explore this. For example, she shows children how two triangles can make a diamond and square. The childminder supports children's creativity and mark-making skills. Paint covered with cling film allows children to experiment with colour mixing and making marks. Young children develop their small-muscle skills and concentration while threading. They seek help when needed and talk happily with their peers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder arranges daily activities away from the home to allow children to have access to physical play and fresh air. Children enjoy a range of trips to venues such as farms, parks and play centres. They have also built larger friendship circles by visiting playgroups weekly, which supports their social and personal development. Children learn about how to keep themselves safe when away from the home. The childminder talks to them about stranger danger and road safety from a young age. They are also beginning to understand the importance of managing their own risks when playing. A menu of healthy foods is offered to children. They confidently self-serve their foods and engage in discussions about what they are eating. The childminder supports children's emotional well-being. She supports them when they are upset and responds swiftly to any minor injuries. This means children are comforted and well cared for.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children display independence and access their own resources for play. They confidently move around their environment and take ownership of their space. Children are developing the necessary skills needed for their future learning and eventual move to school. They have a natural curiosity and enjoy exploring their world.
