This provision is good

n The childminder reviews her provision to help her identify where she can make further improvements and seeks parents' views on the service she provides. She takes account of children's interests when organising the learning environment and searches online for fresh ideas and new activities, to help enhance their learning and enjoyment. n The childminder observes children's play and regularly assesses their development. She uses this information effectively, to plan activities which support children's learning and help them to make good progress. n The childminder promotes children's creative development well. For instance, she provides toys to stimulate children's pretend play and plans activities, such as finger painting, which encourage them to express themselves by making marks. n The childminder works effectively in partnership with parents to support children's care and welfare needs. For example, she offers guidance on how to provide children with a

healthy and balanced diet at different stages in their development. n Children develop warm and caring relationships with the childminder and demonstrate that they are happy and well settled in her care. They are confident to make choices and to explore resources independently. n On occasion, the childminder overlooks opportunities to further extend children's learning as they play, for example by introducing ideas, providing additional resources or demonstrating new skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder attends regular training and reads articles online as ways to help her to maintain a good understanding of safeguarding issues. She knows how to recognise where children might be at risk from harm and the procedures that she must follow to report any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder assesses potential hazards to children within her home and puts in place effective measures to help keep children safe. Parents give positive feedback on the childminder's service. They comment that she provides useful information on their children's daily care and the activities they have enjoyed. This helps to provide good continuity between home and the childminder's setting.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder considers children's individual interests when planning activities to support their learning. For instance, she recognises that children are interested in moving objects by pushing and pulling. Therefore, she provides trollies and buggies as a way for them to explore this. The childminder supports young children's language and communication skills well. For example, she uses books and songs to teach children new words, such as the names of animals and the parts of their bodies. Where children speak English as an additional language, the childminder incorporates words and phrases in their home languages and uses gestures and objects to support their understanding of English. This helps them to become confident communicators.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is highly effective in supporting children's emerging independence and personal care skills. For instance, she provides babies and younger toddlers with cutlery at mealtimes, so that they can practice how to handle these and begin to feed themselves. She is a positive role model and encourages good personal hygiene, such as teaching children to wash their hands before mealtimes. Children enjoy being active. The childminder takes them on daily outings to the local park, where they can practise using their large-muscle movements as they run, climb and balance.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and develop a range of skills to support the next stages in their learning. They demonstrate curiosity and a positive attitude towards learning, as they explore their own ideas and interests. Babies are highly engaged as they practise filling and emptying containers, which helps them to develop good hand-to-eye coordination. Children acquire good social skills and enjoy interacting with adults and other children. They respond positively to rules and boundaries set by the childminder and their behaviour is good.
