This provision is good

n The childminder provides a range of enjoyable activities for children. As a result, the children remain suitably engaged and spend extended amounts of time playing and learning. n The childminder has made significant improvements to the outdoor play since the previous inspection. As a result, children who prefer to play outdoors develop skills that follow on from their individual interests. n The childminder reflects well on her practice and targets for improvement. For instance, she allows children sufficient time to answer questions. This helps them develop their thinking and communication skills. She has met the recommendation set at the previous inspection that relates to this aspect of her practice. n The childminder monitors her assistants well. She identifies relevant training opportunities to help develop their knowledge and skills in caring for children. n The childminder and her assistants have an agreed strategy for managing behaviour.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder and her assistants know the signs of abuse. The childminder and her main assistant are clear about the procedure to follow should they have concerns about a child. The childminder ensures that her assistants are aware of her overall expectations. For example, she has ensured that her newly appointed assistant is clear about what she is required to do in order to care for the children in the setting. The childminder makes accurate evaluation of her practice. She shows a good understanding of her strengths and has implemented identified priorities for improvement. This has helped to improve children's outcomes. The childminder works closely with parents, particularly around behaviour management, to understand individual children's needs and establish the best way to meet these. Parents are happy with their children's progress. They have lots of praise for the childminder and value her

contributions to their children's development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and her assistants plan enjoyable and stimulating activities for the children. Children learn about numbers, capacity and size by exploring pouring and scooping rice into different-sized bowls. The childminder makes accurate assessments of children's starting points. She identifies their next steps and provides activities to help children meet them. Children enjoy discussions while they are playing. They consider questions asked of them by the childminder carefully before answering. The children develop their large-muscle skills. For example, they are able to confidently climb on the climbing frame and negotiate the outdoor space in pedal cars.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The majority of the children behave well at the setting. They follow instructions and share toys and resources. The older children actively tidy up after playing and display good manners. They act as good role models for their younger peers to emulate at the provision. The younger children sometimes follow the lead of the older children. However, at times, the younger children run around indoors. These children only respond positively after being given several reminders of the expectations by the childminder. Children enjoy learning about different cultures and festivals, including Diwali and Halloween. The childminder and her assistants are warm and caring towards the children. They consider the children's wishes and feelings and respond to them in a nurturing manner. Hence, the children are confident to approach them for help and support.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress in their learning. They are developing speaking and listening skills through songs and rhymes. Children have plenty of opportunities to attempt putting on their coats and shoes. They learn to line up before going outside to play. Children are developing good imaginative skills. They enjoy dressing-up play and pretend to feed pets. Children confidently handle cutlery when eating and develop independence skills in readiness for school.
