begin to say, to support more rapid speech and language development. n The childminder has not established arrangements for planning and supporting children's individual progress in partnership with the other settings some children attend. She does not know what plans are in place for children individually, and so therefore cannot be sure she is providing consistent support.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector observed the childminder's interaction with children during activities indoors and outdoors. She looked at the childminder's range of play learning resources and equipment, and observed the suitability of the premises. n The inspector discussed the childminder's practice with her and the impact of her activity planning and engagement with children. n The inspector sampled a range of documentation, including children's records, those relating to safeguarding, and evidence of the childminder's suitability. The inspector talked to the childminder about her use of self-evaluation. n The inspector sought and took account of the views of parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder understands her responsibility to protect children from abuse and exposure to extreme views. She has a secure understanding of the procedures to follow if she is concerned about a child's welfare. The childminder works in good partnership with parents. Following the last inspection, she introduced a new system for sharing information about children's progress with them. Parents say they feel well informed about children's development and look forward to seeing the photographs of children engaged in activities. The childminder has also improved her activity planning for babies and toddlers. She uses self-evaluation effectively, for instance she recognises the need to update her safeguarding training and this is being targeted. The childminder also uses what she learns from observing other childcare professionals to improve her teaching practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children well and tracks and plans very well for their progress overall. She provides a good range of activities for babies and toddlers that encourage them to explore and experiment using their senses, which they do very enthusiastically. For example, babies squelch coloured fruit-flavoured jelly between their hands after watching the playful childminder demonstrate. The childminder seizes opportunities to encourage them to further explore, for instance by adding spoons which they promptly use to scoop up jelly into their mouths. The childminder organises her environment well to enable babies to practise their developing mobility. She displays photographs of children engaged in activities to encourage them to talk.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder lays good foundations for children to adopt healthy and safe lifestyle habits. She successfully encourages their fondness of fruit and vegetables and teaches children how to behave around dogs in the park. She takes children out in the fresh air each day, for instance to the park to feed the ducks. The childminder is kind and caring. Babies are easily reassured by her. The emotional bond between them is very strong. Babies and toddlers play extremely well together. The childminder plans and provides activities to help children understand about their immediate and wider world. For example, babies and toddlers see positive images of ethnicity as they play with small- world figures with different skin tones. Older children enjoy engaging in creative activities to mark traditions, such as Diwali and Valentine's Day.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared emotionally and practically for the next stage of their learning. They develop good social skills and confidently engage in large-group community activities. They settle in easily to nursery when the time comes. Pre-school age children learn to recognise and write their names. Babies feed themselves and young toddlers confidently put their arms into aprons before engaging in messy play. They enjoy doing the actions to rhymes the childminder sings to them in English and French. Children are very content and enthusiastically engage in sustained play.
