n The inspector observed the childminder and children playing. n The inspector sampled the childminder's policies, procedures, risk assessments and children's development records. n The inspector discussed the childminder's procedures to safeguard children, and her process for reflecting on her practice, including evidence of the suitability of adults living on the premises. n The inspector took into account the comments and suggestions of parents and children.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of safeguarding practice. She is aware of the action to take in the event of a welfare concern. The childminder shares her safeguarding policies and procedures with parents to help protect children. She completes effective risk assessments on all areas of her home to help children remain safe. The childminder attends to the needs of all children and helps them learn well. She has made positive improvements since the previous inspection. For example, children can see print in the environment to support their literacy skills. The childminder seeks the comments and suggestions of parents, children and others. This helps her to develop her service and improve learning outcomes for all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder gains relevant information from parents about each child in her care. She regularly assesses children's learning and provides activities that reflect children's interests. The childminder plays with children and explains activities to them. Children are happy and well motivated to learn. For example, they eagerly build a role-play train track and learn about train safety. Children keenly investigate how binoculars work. The childminder holds discussions with children and acts on their suggestions to support their communication and language skills. Children sing rhymes, learn new vocabularies and use them well in their play. The childminder works well with other providers to help ensure good continuity and progression to children's learning and development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder is consistent in her approach to behaviour management. Children are kind and polite. Their behaviour is generally good. Children respond well to instructions and learn to cooperate, for example, how to tidy-up toys. They enjoy fruit and know that they need to wash their hands before eating to reduce the risk of infection. The childminder reminds children to drink water to keep hydrated. She takes children to the local park and playgroups. This helps children to socialise with others, develop their physical skills and learn about the local community. Through outings, children practise to cross roads safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children achieve well and any gaps in learning are closing. They develop curiosity and positive attitudes towards learning. Children listen carefully and confidently communicate their thoughts. They love to explore musical instruments and to listen to the sounds they make. Children can name many colours and objects. They enjoy books and soft toys. Children are aware of the changes that happen to the natural world around them.
