This provision is good

n The childminder and her assistants have high expectations for the children in their care. They help children to settle quickly and are attentive towards children's needs and requirements. Children display loving and strong bonds. n The childminder values the importance of strong partnerships with parents and with other settings that children attend. All information is successfully shared to provide children with continuity towards their future learning. n Children behave well. Staff are good role models. They provide children with consistent explanations, to help them to learn about acceptable behaviour and boundaries. n The childminder provides stimulating learning environments to help children to become curious and inquisitive in their play. Children can access all toys and resources to support their emerging interests and likes. n Children are progressing well. The childminder carefully tracks and monitors their

development to identify potential gaps in their learning, and this helps children achieve to the best of their abilities. n Staff help children to build on their communication and language. For instance, they introduce and repeat simple words and sounds for younger children, and they involve older children in deeper discussions to express their own views and ideas. n Children have limited opportunities to explore with early technology, to build further on the experiences in their learning. n Occasionally, staff do things for younger children that they are more than capable of trying to do for themselves.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector toured the areas of the home used for the childminding provision. The inspector took into account the views and comments of parents. n The inspector sampled a range of documentation, including suitability checks and recruitment records, policies and procedures and children's developmental records. n The inspector observed the interaction of the childminder, her assistants and the children and the impact the teaching has on children's learning and development. n The inspector spoke with the childminder, her assistants and the children at appropriate times throughout the inspection. The inspector also discussed the arrangements for the safeguarding of children and the childminder's reporting procedures. n The inspector also spoke to the childminder about her professional development and how she plans for that of her assistants.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder uses robust recruitment procedures to ensure the ongoing suitability of the assistants who work directly with the children. They receive regular supervision meetings to help them to continuously review their teaching practice and how they are supporting the outcomes for children. The childminder plans well for her professional development and for that of her assistants. For example, a recent child protection course has helped all staff to have up-to-date knowledge of changes to the local authority procedures and requirements. Safeguarding is effective. All staff have a deep understanding of how they would identify possible signs of abuse and how to report any concerns. Risk assessments are used well to provide safe environments for children, when at the childminder's home and when on outings in the community.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and her assistants continuously observe children's learning. They use this information well to plan for challenging experiences in children's play. For instance, children become enthralled in an activity in the garden where they investigate with a block of ice and watch it melt in the sun. Children are building on their early mathematics. For example, younger children are starting to count objects as they play, and older children work out solutions to complete large-piece jigsaws. Children enjoy story time and joining in with action songs to build on their increasing literacy and recall skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are engaged and excited learners. They are building an awareness of the wider world around them and the differences and similarities in themselves and others. The childminder uses her own heritage, and that of her assistants, to help children to explore cultural festivals and trying foods from different countries. Children have lots of time to play outdoors to build on their physical skills. They show their agility as they hang and move around the climbing frame, and younger children roll and catch balls. Staff help children to build on their fine motor skills as they help them to trace letters. Children are starting to recognise the letters contained in their own names.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and secure in their surroundings. They are learning to work well with others and show patience and tolerance in their play. Children can express themselves with ease and are learning to manage their own emotions. They receive constant praise and this helps them to build strong self-esteem. Children are supported well to help them to develop the skills they require for the next stage in their learning and their move on to school.
