This provision is good

n The childminder develops secure relationships with children. She knows children well as individuals and supports their personal, social and emotional well-being effectively. n The childminder promotes children's communication and language skills well. For example, children enjoy taking part in conversations with the childminder while they play. n The childminder uses effective and consistent methods to manage children's behaviour. Young children learn about sharing, taking turns and being kind to one another. n Children benefit from the range of outings they attend daily in the local and wider community. They have regular opportunities to socialise with other children and adults, such as at playgroups. n Children demonstrate good levels of confidence in social situations and show that they feel safe and secure in the childminder's care. For example, children interact confidently with others, including people they do not know.

This provision is good

n Occasionally, the childminder does not give children the time they need to think for themselves and solve problems independently. n Although the childminder takes steps to develop her provision, such as networking with other childminders, she has not fully identified ways to extend her already good practice to raise the quality of teaching and children's outcomes to a higher level.

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the childminder's interactions with children as they played and discussed with the childminder the learning that had taken place. n The inspector spoke to the childminder and the children at appropriate times during the inspection. n The inspector took account of the views of parents through written comments. n The inspector looked at a range of documentation, including safeguarding procedures and policies, as well as planning and assessment documentation.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of child protection issues. She completes ongoing refresher courses that help to keep her knowledge of child protection up to date, so she can report any concerns quickly. The childminder ensures that her premises are secure. She completes risk assessments in the home and during outings. This helps to minimise potential hazards and provide a safe environment for children. The childminder keeps parents informed of their children's day and the activities on offer. Parents are complimentary about the care and learning opportunities their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder gathers information from parents when children first start. She uses this to help her plan appropriately for each child's individual needs, abilities and interests. The childminder supports children's ability to use simple mathematical language, such as size and numbers. The childminder models learning through her interactions. Children watch how to complete new tasks and attempt to mirror the actions they witness. For example, they learn to look at the image on the box when completing a puzzle, and cut carefully around a picture using scissors. This contributes to their good physical coordination and concentration. Children delight in finding hidden animals in a tray of foam and the childminder extends their thinking as they organise the animals into groups.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder supports children's understanding of healthy lifestyles well. They eat healthy snacks and learn how to take care of their personal needs. The childminder provides opportunities for fresh air and physical play through regular visits to local parks. She organises good experiences and activities, which develop children's understanding of diversity beyond their immediate family experience. For example, they enjoy a range of activities in the local community that teach them about people in the wider world. The childminder acknowledges children's achievements with praise and encouragement. This helps to build their self-esteem, while preparing them emotionally for the next stage in their learning. The childminder is a good role model. She interacts well with the children, demonstrating kindness and a calm, gentle manner.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points and are developing the skills needed for future learning and school. Children are confident and motivated learners. They learn how to use technology, such as requesting sounds to be played so they can guess what is making the sound. This helps to develop children's understanding of how technology works, and supports their early literacy skills as they widen their vocabulary. Children develop their independence, such as putting on their coats and washing their hands.
