The childminder has good safeguarding knowledge and knows the correct procedures to follow should she have any concerns about a child's welfare. She has established good relationships with parents. She involves them in children's learning, including assessing children's starting points. Parent feedback is very positive. The parents spoken to during the inspection comment on how much progress their children have made in the childminder's care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children to progress across all areas of learning through well- planned activities. Children have opportunities to develop their social skills as they take turns during play and share resources. The childminder interacts with enthusiasm and supports children's communication and language skills well. For example, when sharing stories, she uses clear, simple language that younger children can copy. Children's physical skills are promoted as they enjoy bouncing with the childminder on the trampoline in the garden. The childminder follows children's lead, adapting activities to maintain children's focus and attention. As a result, children are engaged and motivated in their learning. Children play happily alongside the childminder, filling and emptying containers during a water activity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides a homely and welcoming environment for children. She is a positive role model and supports children to understand and follow the rules that are in place. The childminder promotes children's independence. They move freely around the childminder's home and independently access a wide range of resources. Children have opportunities to be healthy and active. They have access to a small outdoor area and enjoy regular outings, such as to the library or local park. Children learn about different cultures and festivals around the world, helping them to respect and tolerate differences.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are active and happy learners. They make good progress from their starting points. Children are becoming more confident and self-assured as they make their own choices about where to play. They enjoy their time with the childminder and are developing key skills ready for their future learning and eventual move on to school.
