p.1

This provision is good

n Children are happy and secure with the childminder. There is much laughter as the childminder and children play together. The childminder has close relationships with children, setting clear boundaries and consistently praising them; this includes giving lots of cuddles to younger children. This helps children to feel safe and develop positive self-worth and confidence. n Effective systems are in place for reviewing and sharing the progress that children make with parents. Parents are glowing about the different ways the childminder shares information with them. This helps parents to feel confident about their child's experience of care and learning. n The childminder supports children to develop their understanding of their local community. The childminder regularly takes children on outings, such as to the childminders' network, parks and the nearby beach. This helps children to develop an awareness of the wider world and their local community.

This provision is good

n The childminder takes up wide-ranging professional development opportunities. This includes training provided by her local authority and through sharing information and advice at a weekly childminders' network. n The childminder does not always ensure adult-led activities are clearly focused on meeting children's individual needs and supporting their next steps in learning. n The childminder does not make use of all opportunities to further promote children's physical development in the indoor and outdoor environment.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector observed the interactions between the childminder and children. n The inspector reviewed a range of documentation, including safety risk assessments, children's assessment information and the childminder's policies and procedures. n The inspector held discussions with the childminder about how she reflects on the quality of her service. n The inspector held discussions with parents and took account of their views. n The inspector viewed parts of the premises used for childminding.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder builds close relationships with parents and she knows the correct steps to follow should she have a concern about the welfare of a child. She is familiar with wider safeguarding issues that could affect children and families. She has recently attended training about radicalisation and violence against girls. Children are well protected. Parents report that they are very satisfied with the care and support the childminder provides for their children. The childminder has a good knowledge of the children she cares for and is aware of how different groups of children can alter the dynamics of the day. For example, she considers how room layouts can be adjusted to give younger children different opportunities when older children are at school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows children's needs and interests well. The childminder is especially skilful at supporting children's communication and language development. She uses different voices to tell stories and encourages children to join in wherever possible. For the older children, she asks questions, encourages them to recall past experiences and extends their sentences and conversation. For the younger children, she speaks clearly, repeats single words and uses actions. This encouraged a very young child to copy the language and movements of the childminder and another child. Children have access to resources to help develop their sensory understanding. For example, children explore a book with different textures and learn words such as 'shiny', 'smooth' and 'rough'. The childminder also uses this activity to enhance children's mathematical skills. For instance, she encourages older children to count how many different items are on different pages

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children form strong attachments to the childminder. The well-being of babies and young children is very well supported. The childminder recognises what the child wants and responds accordingly. Children are provided with settling-in sessions tailored to their requirements which help them feel at ease. The childminder supports children effectively to understand how to keep safe and manage risk. For example, children learn how to hold the childminder's hand while walking down the stairs and to dress appropriately before going outside. The childminder encourages positive behaviour and relationships among the children and is an effective model of how to treat others. As a result, children are well behaved and show confidence and curiosity in interactions with visitors.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are making good progress and gaining effective skills in preparation for their next stage of learning. For example, children delight in listening to nursery rhymes and completing the actions. Very young children are aware of number names through these songs and actions. Children develop many skills to be independent and show enthusiasm as they play and explore. For example, older children enjoy helping younger children and very young children eat and drink independently.
