This provision is good

n The childminder has strong working relationships with families and their children, who feel at ease in her enjoyable, home-from-home environment. She has enhanced her environment to create even more space for children to play. n The childminder makes regular assessments of what children know and plans how best to support the next stage in their development. All children are making good progress. Parents gain regular feedback about their children's learning and they comment that their children have gained in confidence and come on in 'leaps and bounds' in their time with the childminder. n The childminder works in partnership with other professionals. She attends local meetings and keeps up to date with local procedures to follow, such as if she has concerns about a child's welfare. n The childminder uses praise and encouragement effectively and celebrates children's enthusiasm and concentration. n The childminder makes the most of opportunities to take children out into the local

environment.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector looked around all parts of the house used for childminding. n The inspector spoke with the childminder and children at appropriate times during the inspection. n The inspector looked at a range of documents, including evidence of the suitability of adult household members, and looked at the childminder's self-evaluation document. n The childminder and the inspector jointly evaluated an activity and discussed children's learning and development. n The inspector observed children's play and activities both indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact this has on their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has completed training which has helped to update her knowledge and understanding of a wider range of potential signs and symptoms of abuse. Policies and procedures are clear. The childminder has a good overview of the local authority requirements for referring any concerns that she may have. The childminder is evaluative. She can identify areas of strength and improvement. For example, recently, she has made adaptations to the planning process. This helps her to see more clearly the intended aims for each activity and provides more details about the language that she will be introducing and modelling for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder is very experienced and well qualified in her role. She plans and carries out a good range of activities which help children to develop appropriate skills. For example, young children use resources, such as tweezers, to pick up objects and develop their coordination and strength of their fingers. These activities also encourage children's independence and motivation. Children learn new words rapidly. They repeat words that the childminder introduces, such as 'spanner' as they play with pretend tools in the garden. The childminder shares children's progress with parents in a variety of ways. She communicates daily with them as they drop off and collect their children. She also provides them with opportunities to look at children's development files. Clear goals, such as helping children to develop their independence at mealtimes, are shared between parents and the childminder. Shared working and effective communication help

to ensure that all children are making good progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder carefully considers potential risks to children's safety. For example, she identifies specific risks and carries out additional tasks to ensure that all aspects of children's safety are maintained. She helps children to learn about healthy lifestyles and good hygiene practices. Children know that they must wash their hands after activities, such as giving the dog a biscuit and before they eat their snacks and lunch. The childminder supports children to develop their independence skills. For example, she provides a step for the youngest children to stand on which helps them to reach the sink and wash their own hands. Resources are well organised and children can easily see and find what they want to do next. They use wheeled toys and explore the good range of resources that are available outdoors. Parents comment on the number and variety of outings that children have the opportunity to take part in. For some, this is the reason

they choose to send their children to this setting.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress towards the expected goals for their age. The childminder helps children to settle quickly when they start in the setting. She also prepares them well as they move on to pre-school and school. Children are developing their independence. They move freely around the environment and make their own choices. They are also eager to join in with activities which the childminder has planned and organised for them.
