This provision is good

n The childminder uses reflective practice to help her improve the quality of the service she provides. For example, she has enhanced her outdoor provision and updated facilities, such as the downstairs toilet and sink. This helps her to provide amenities that assist children when potty training and enables them to manage their personal hygiene more effectively. n The childminder keeps parents informed about what their children need to learn next. She corresponds with them through daily diaries and conversations as they collect their child. Parents are very happy with the care that their children receive. n The childminder is kind and welcoming. She develops close and secure relationships with the children and their families.

their interests. Children make good progress from their starting points. n The childminder makes sure children enjoy activities in the local community, such as visiting parks, shops and cafes.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her responsibility to keep children safe. She has a good understanding of the local procedures to follow should she have any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder pays attention to her ongoing professional development, she makes sure that required training is updated in a timely manner. For example, she completes paediatric first-aid training, helping her to understand what action to take in the event of an emergency. The childminder carries out regular risk assessments and uses these effectively to help her keep children safe. The childminder develops relationships with other local early years providers. For example, she speaks to teachers at the local primary schools and shares relevant information to support children's ongoing learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides the children with activities based on their next steps for learning. As a result, children enjoy play and develop new skills. For instance, children concentrate well as they explore the sandpit. They enjoy scooping sand up using a child- sized plastic spade then watch with fascination as it gently drifts back into the sandpit as they slowly tip the spade. Children develop their balance and coordination as they use a wide range of toys and equipment. They enjoy selecting large coloured chalks then making marks from their imagination. The childminder is very capable at supporting children's developing language skills. They become confident communicators, as they answer questions about what they are doing or creating.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children to gain a good understanding of personal safety. For example, she talks to them about what might happen if they were to throw sand. Children listen well and demonstrate a good understanding of accepting and following the rules and boundaries in place. They are keen and motivated to be involved in activities. Children develop good friendships with the other children in the setting. The childminder constantly supports children's independence. She provides a stimulating environment that promotes children's ability to confidently access toys and resources freely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are friendly, sociable and enthusiastic. They excitedly use simple technology. They press keys on resources to create a variety of sounds, which they happily jig and dance along to. The childminder encourages children's emerging literacy, providing a wide range of high-quality books for them to share with each other. Children are prepared well for the next stage in their learning, including school.
