For instance, she has attended training since the last inspection to improve her teaching and assessment procedures. She successfully applies what she learns in her practice to help improve outcomes for children. The childminder implements effective systems to check on children's progress, helping her identify and address any gaps in their learning. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has clear policies and procedures to help keep children safe. She understands her duty in ensuring children's welfare and knows how to report any concerns if she suspects a child is at risk of harm.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children play in a welcoming, friendly environment with a good range of interesting resources that are age appropriate. Children enjoy joining in, including exploring different shaped blocks. Younger children learn how to use the toys and watch closely as the childminder demonstrates to them. The childminder successfully supports their language skills, for example through singing activities and by helping children to use words in context. Children also develop their physical skills well, including babies, who learn to clap to the different rhymes. The childminder works with parents effectively. She shares information with parents regularly to keep them well informed about children's development and progress. She gathers detailed information from parents about children's starting points to help her promptly plan for children's individual needs when they join her setting.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides good opportunities for children to learn about diversity, for instance by offering resources from different countries for children to explore. Children develop their understanding of different people in the community well and develop mutual respect for others. Children behave well. The childminder acts as a good role model and teaches children what appropriate behaviour is. She helps children learn about healthy lifestyles and effectively supports their physical well-being. For example, she provides children with nutritious foods and provides opportunities for children to be active. The childminder regularly assesses risks in all areas that children use to identify and remove any hazards.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and learn a range of skills that prepare them well for their future learning and eventually for school. Children listen attentively and communicate well. Babies enjoy babbling and using language to communicate with others. Children develop good social skills, such as interacting with others confidently. They develop good physical skills, such as learning how to handle toys and use them safely.
