This provision is good

n Children behave well. The childminder provides gentle reminders to help them understand boundaries and acceptable behaviour. She is calm, patient and regularly praises children, which helps to promote their confidence and self-esteem. n The childminder has a robust understanding of child development. She uses her knowledge to plan interesting and challenging activities, which keep children motivated to learn. Teaching is good and all children make good progress from their starting points. n The childminder evaluates her provision effectively. She seeks and acts on feedback from parents to help improve her practice. For instance, she has developed a variety of activity bags for children to take home. This helps parents to support their children's learning at home. n Children are confident in their surroundings and are keen to explore resources. Overall, the childminder successfully supports them while they play. For example, she listens

carefully and follows their interests, providing appropriate resources to help encourage their involvement and extend their language. n The childminder assesses risks daily, to help minimise any hazards to children. She routinely teaches children about safety and risk as part of their play and daily routines. n Occasionally, the childminder does not give children enough time to think about and respond to questions asked. n The childminder has not fully explored ways to help children to learn about the diversity of cultures and communities beyond their own experiences.

Inspection activities n The inspector had a tour of the setting. n The inspector observed a planned activity and assessed the quality of teaching with the childminder. n The inspector viewed documentation, such as policies and procedures and information regarding the suitability of the childminder and all household members. n The inspector held discussions with the childminder about her evaluation of the setting.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her responsibility to protect children from harm. She knows what to do if she has concerns regarding a child's welfare and the procedures she needs to follow. The childminder risk assesses appropriately, including when transporting children and taking them on outings. The childminder undertakes professional development, to enhance her skills and knowledge. She reflects on her setting well and has developed a range of ways to involve parents in their children's learning. For example, the children can choose activity bags to extend their mathematical knowledge at home. The childminder shares a range of information with other settings that the children also attend, which helps all those working with the children to provide good continuity in their care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides a stimulating indoor and outside environment that engages children very well. She understands how children learn. When the children play, she sits at their level and joins in enthusiastically with their games. Toddlers enjoy the process of making dough with the childminder. They weigh out flour, count spoonfuls of salt and then mix the ingredients together. This develops their early mathematical knowledge. When they have made the dough, they use their small hand muscles to knead it and point out shapes that they create using cutters. The childminder is quick to respond to children's requests, for example, to read a book together. She gives children ideas to help them achieve an outcome, such as completing a puzzle. This helps children to have a can-do attitude to learning. The childminder ensures that children have plenty of opportunities to play in the fresh air. They enjoy using the swings and playing in dens in

the large garden. Children have regular outings to playgroups, soft-play centres, parks and the library. This develops their confidence and understanding of the community that they live in.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children successfully learn to look after themselves and the environment that they play in. For example, they help themselves to fresh drinking water, put on their own coats and tidy up the toys when asked. The childminder reinforces good hygiene procedures, such as handwashing. Children learn how they can keep themselves healthy by eating a range of foods and having exercise. The childminder is enthusiastic and caring. The children develop strong bonds with her and demonstrate that they feel safe and secure in her care. Parents appreciate the childminder's genuine interest in the children that she looks after.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children demonstrate good communication and language skills as they engage in conversations with visitors and the childminder. They form secure friendships and play harmoniously. Children are working well within the typical range of development for their age. They develop the skills that they will need for their future learning, including pre- school and school.
