This provision is good

n The childminder knows the children well. Children continually engage in good-quality learning experiences and are inquisitive and motivated learners. They make good progress from their initial starting points. n The childminder is clear in her expectations for children's behaviour.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder keeps up to date with changes in safeguarding legislation. She has a good awareness of the procedures to follow should she have concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder completes a wide range of training courses to help enhance her knowledge and skills. For example, she has attended training on outdoor learning and uses strategies she has learnt to help maintain children's good outcomes. The childminder develops strong links with other professionals to support a collaborative approach to children's care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder acquires a good understanding of children before they attend, which she uses effectively to plan experiences they will enjoy. She skilfully continues to observe their changing interests and plans ongoing opportunities to challenge their development. The childminder supports children in predicting and testing out their ideas. For example, an interest in cars led to children using several sizes of vehicles and placing them on a ramp to see how fast they would go. The childminder supports children's communication and language skills well. She narrates what toddlers are doing and models language with the children, for instance saying 'red truck' and 'tractor' as they played with toy vehicles. Toddlers enjoy being creative. For example, they thoroughly enjoyed dancing to music, pretending to be helicopters, aeroplanes and cars and were eager to name all the colours beads they recognise, as they wear a wide range of bangles.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are emotionally secure and form very close relationships with the childminder. Children develop good independence skills. Toddlers are encouraged to feed themselves and learn to make choices about what they want to eat. Children enjoy outdoor play daily, where they develop their physical skills. The childminder supports children in understanding the simple rules that are in place to keep them safe.For example, when out in the local community, they learn about road safety. Children display good manners and kindness towards younger children. Children are confident, displaying high levels of enthusiasm and concentration.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including starting school. Children begin to develop a good understanding of the world around them through their regular exciting explorations. For example, they enthusiastically wait and watch the recycling men emptying the bins and enjoy visits to the local farms, zoos and parks. Children develop skills, such as holding chalks and pencils correctly, which supports their readiness for school. They complete tasks, such as puzzles and jigsaws, and show they are proud of their efforts. This helps boost their self-esteem and confidence.
