p.1

This provision is good

n The childminder has a good understanding of how children learn. She observes and monitors children's development. The childminder successfully maintains children's interest as she plans activities following children's interests. Children enjoy making safe and independent choices from the activities available to them. n The childminder is a good role model and sets clear, age-appropriate house rules, such as using good manners, being kind, sharing and take turns. This helps children develop good social skills and their behaviour is good. n The childminder provides a safe environment. This enables children to feel protected, happy and settled. The childminder helps to promote children's personal care skills well. n Partnerships with parents are well established. The childminder provides them with information about how they can guide their child's next steps in learning at home. This collaborative approach is helping children make good progress in their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure knowledge and understanding of her role and responsibilities in keeping children safe. She has clear policies and is fully aware of the procedure she should follow should she have a concern about a child's safety or well-being. The childminder effectively uses risk assessments to identify and minimise potential hazards in her home, garden and while on outings. She has good partnerships with other settings that children attend. The childminder demonstrates a strong commitment to continual professional development. She regularly accesses training and networks with other professionals to further develop her skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a good understanding of how to successfully support children's progress and she plans activities based on the next steps in their learning. She adapts activities children are engaged in to support their emerging interests and extend their learning. This motivates children and helps them to make good progress. The childminder uses assessment well to plan challenging activities for children. She completes the progress check for children aged between two and three years, and provides parents with a copy for their child's health visitor. Children use their imaginative skills as they play in the role-play kitchen. They enjoy sharing books and cuddle up close with the childminder as they read books outside. The childminder interacts well with the children, getting down to their eye level as she models language. This helps children to extend their listening and attention skills even further.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder effectively fosters children's emotional and physical well-being. Children show close attachments with her. They enjoy relationships that are warm and supportive, gaining in self-confidence as they grow and develop. Children benefit from regular outdoor play activities and take part in events within the local community. This helps them to develop their personal and social skills. The childminder teaches children how to maintain healthy lifestyles. Children learn about healthy eating and the importance of brushing their teeth.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children learn skills that will help them at school. For example, they direct their own play, select resources and attend to some of their own needs independently, such as wiping their own hands. Children are making good progress from their individual starting points overall. They develop good relationships with the childminder and they learn to value and respect the feelings and opinions of others at toddler groups. Children are confident and inquisitive learners who are eager to join in.
