n The childminder provides a caring and stimulating environment. Children settle quickly into her care and they display strong and trusting bonds with her. n The childminder helps children to progress well. She monitors and tracks their development to help her to quickly identify gaps in their learning or to further challenge the most able children. n The childminder is quick to respond to the opportunities that arise in children's play to extend on their learning. For example, as children read stories, she asks them questions to help them to use their memory and recall skills to remember past experiences. n Children are highly engaged and inquisitive in their learning. They display increasing concentration skills and perseverance in completing tasks independently. The childminder constantly praises children and this helps them to build on their self- esteem and confidence in their own abilities. n Children behave well.

children as unique individuals.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder has high expectations for the children in her care. Parents comment on how their children have grown significantly in confidence and that the childminder really takes her time to understand the characters of each child. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is vigilant in her role of protecting the children in her care. She is knowledgeable about how she would identify potential signs of abuse and the procedures she would follow to report a concern for a child's welfare. Robust risk assessments are completed and regularly updated to provide a safe environment for children when at the childminder's home and when on outings. The childminder is reflective about how she can continuously raise the quality of her provision. She values the comments and views of parents and children to help her to identify areas for improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder observes the children closely to help her to precisely plan for their learning and provide for their changing likes and interests. Children are increasing their mathematical and early literacy skills. For example, they count items as they play and can form recognisable letters on the white board. They are starting to put these together to create words and their own names. The childminder helps children to learn about listening and following instructions. For example, they enjoy playing board and card games together and patiently wait for their own turn. Children are developing their small physical and coordination skills as they thread small coloured beads to create bracelets.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is patient and kind. Children show immense pride in their own achievements and have a strong sense of belonging. They thrive in the care of the childminder. Children are learning about the differences and similarities in the wider world around them to build further on their awareness. They attend playgroups and other social activities to help them to understand how to share well with others and develop friendships. The childminder uses good initiative in supporting children's self- care skills and they have a positive attitude about trying to do things for themselves.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children progress well from their captured starting points, with some exceeding their predicted age and stage of development. They explore with early technology to help them to learn how things work and solve problems. For example, children enjoy using a control panel on a tablet computer to move a train forwards and backwards and create train sounds. Children are developing the necessary skills to support them for the next stages in their learning and their move on to school.
