This provision is good

n The childminder and her assistant keep their knowledge of safeguarding up to date. They know how to make timely referrals. n Children are happy and settled with the childminder and her assistant, who form warm and close relationships with them. Children achieve well, and they are well prepared for the next stage of their learning. n Children for whom English is an additional language make good progress. There is a broad range of resources to support their development, such as bilingual books and small-world 'people'. n The childminder plans regular trips for the children, including to the park, playgroups and the library. The trips are risk assessed to detect hazards and to minimise dangers. n Children behave well. They listen and follow instructions, and they share and take turns when playing together. n At times, the childminder does not act on children's interests straight away, which does not support their learning or further their progress.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder ensures her home is safe from hazards and carries out daily risk assessments. This ensures children's safety. The childminder commits to her professional development. She has a CACHE level 3 in childcare, which aids her in supporting children's care and learning. The childminder and her assistant are familiar with the local authority safeguarding procedures. They know how to report any concerns about a child's welfare. They teach children about staying safe, for instance, by regularly practising the fire evacuation procedures. The childminder uses questionnaires to seek the views of parents. Parents give positive comments about the provision.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder identifies children's starting points and discusses these with parents. She uses information gained to inform her early assessments of children's progress. The childminder provides activities that support children in reaching the next steps in their learning. Children enjoy water play. They fill and empty containers in a large bowl filled with water. The childminder provides good opportunities for all children to develop their communication skills. When the children were using the play dough, they imitated the childminder's use of words such as 'roll', 'squeeze', 'pull' and 'knead'. The childminder makes good use of songs to support children's language development. This was evident when she encouraged the children to sing 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop secure attachments with the childminder and her assistant. This builds children's confidence and good levels of emotional well-being. The childminder and her assistant are good role models. They encourage good manners and praise children. This encourages children to show respect for each other and behave well. Children go on regular trips to playgroups and the park, developing their physical skills. The childminder and her assistant have a food and safety certificate at level 2. They make sure that children learn about good hygiene routines to maintain good health. For example, the children learn the importance of washing their hands before eating in order to minimise any germs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They learn to manage their self-care needs and express themselves well. Children who speak English an additional language make good progress. For example, the childminder read stories in their first language. Children engage in mark making and sing nursery rhymes. They develop their independence. For instance, they attempt to place an apron on before playing with water activities. Children develop an understanding of mathematical concepts, such as 'full', 'empty' and 'heavy'. They learn their names and develop good language skills that prepare them for school.
