This provision is good

n The childminder understands the value of keeping her knowledge and skills up to date. Recent training assisted her to identify further ways to help children to engage in stories. She meets regularly with other childminders and exchanges ideas to enhance her already good practice. n The childminder carefully monitors the progress that children make to identify any gaps in their development. She plans carefully to help children achieve success in their learning. All children make good progress from their starting points, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). n The childminder incorporates guidance provided by other professionals involved in the care of children with SEND. This enables her to plan targeted and effective support to help close any gaps in children's development. n The childminder has a strong knowledge of how to adapt the language she uses and communication techniques, to enable children to develop good communication skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good understanding of her responsibilities to protect children from harm. She is knowledgeable about local safeguarding procedures and who to contact should she have any concerns about the welfare of children in her care. The childminder works closely with parents when children first start, to identify their starting points. She liaises with other childminders and settings where children have previously attended to deepen her understanding of the development needs of new children. She keeps parents well informed about children's ongoing progress and supports their continued learning at home. The childminder reflects on the service she provides and identifies ways to improve further the already good provision for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder provides children with many opportunities to make decisions about their play. She knows children well and skilfully plans activities around their interests. For example, she provides a collection of interesting items to support children's fascination in objects that can spin around. The childminder helps children to develop their physical skills. Children concentrate well as they use their fingers and scoops to fill and empty containers with dried rice. They show excitement as they explore the sound the rice makes when it falls on the floor. The childminder provides a good range of experiences to help children develop their understanding of the world. Children enjoy the opportunities to investigate a range of sensory materials. They explore interesting textures, such as colourful cooked spaghetti, sand and water. Children develop their awareness of the uses of technology through their play and learn about the natural

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder manages children's behaviour calmly and effectively. She successfully helps them learn to manage their feelings. Children learn about people and their communities. They enjoy exploring photographs of themselves and their friends. Children learn about diversity and the different ways that people celebrate. The childminder provides children with good opportunities to develop their sense of responsibility. Children eagerly help with everyday tasks, such as tidying up and assisting with the preparation for lunch and snack times. The childminder helps children to learn about keeping themselves safe, such as when they are close to water and when they cross roads.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain a wide range of useful skills that prepare them well for their future learning and school. They concentrate on activities that they enjoy and comment on their observations, such as sounds they can hear. Children are motivated to learn and to make new discoveries. They develop their mathematical understanding and literacy skills. Children recognise that numbers they see hold meaning as they learn to count. They listen attentively to stories and talk about the images in books.
