This provision is good

n The childminder actively promotes equality and diversity, and children learn to value each other's similarities and differences through a range of experiences offered. n Relationships between the childminder and children are very positive. This contributes to children's high levels of emotional development and overall learning. n Partnerships with parents are good. The childminder engages in open, two-way communication with parents to ensure all care routines and learning opportunities are consistent with those in children's own home. n Children receive regular praise for their achievements. This promotes their self-esteem and confidence. n The childminder ensures that the environment is secure and welcoming for the children and parents. This contributes well to providing children with a home-from-home environment. n The childminder plans regular outings for the children, including visits to toddler and

childminding groups, a nearby park and soft-play area and the local libraries. Children develop good social skills and learn about their local environment. For example, they visit the local libraries to learn more about books and they spend time with other children within the childminding network. n The childminder completes ongoing assessment and monitoring of children's learning. She uses this information about children's abilities and interests to underpin her planning and teaching. n All children make good progress in their learning and development. They are keen to explore and investigate and are motivated to learn. n Children do not always know what keeps them healthy. For example, children are provided with fruit, but discussions as to why this keeps them healthy are not always consistent.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder demonstrates a good understanding of how to keep children safe and where to report concerns. She has consistently high expectations of children's behaviour and models how to behave well. Parents provide positive feedback about the care and education their children receive. They value the trips that the childminder offers to children. These trips are varied and provide opportunities for children to learn and develop knowledge about the community. For example, children take part in national and local charity events, and they attend local supermarkets, preparing shopping lists for their visit. The childminder ensures that she keeps abreast of developments within her sector. This ensures she is aware of changes and can maintain standards to a high level.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The quality of teaching and learning is consistently good. The childminder has a good knowledge of how to promote the learning and development of children. She knows what they can achieve. For example, children enjoy playing with toys that meet their needs and, through discussions, the childminder extends their learning even further. When children first start, the childminder gains information about what they know and can do. This information is used well to inform her early assessments of children's progress and in planning for their future learning. The childminder has a very good understanding of how to ensure that children are emotionally secure and well prepared for future learning. For example, she is attentive to their emotional needs and nurtures the children well. Children respond well to her calm approach. As a result, they show kindness, compassion and a caring nature to each other.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder's home is warm, welcoming and inviting. Children are happy and enjoy the experiences offered to them. The childminder praises children and celebrates their achievements. For example, she reminds children to take turns, to help one another and to use manners, such as 'please' and 'thank you'. Children use these well within their own play. The childminder promotes children's independence and helps them to manage their personal needs. For example, she encourages independence in playing, exploring and in feeding themselves. Children are confident in leading their own play. For example, they actively extend their own play, select resources and approach the childminder for further guidance. They explore their surroundings with confidence and can express their own thoughts, ideas and opinions well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points. They are confident, independent and are able to make choices for themselves. Children are working comfortably within the range expected for their age. They are eager and motivated to explore their surroundings. They consistently demonstrate positive behaviours and are willing to have a go and explore for themselves. For example, children extend their own play, play alongside each other and confidently involve others in their play. Children are well prepared for the next stages of their learning.
