p.1

This provision is good

n The childminder and her assistants are good role models, who children can learn from. Children are confident, secure and happy and successfully make their needs known. n Partnerships with parents are strong.

Children make good progress from their individual starting points. n The childminder evaluates her setting effectively, including her own and her assistants' practice, to help make improvements. For example, they all attend training courses to update their childcare knowledge. n The childminder provides children with an exciting range of activities and learning opportunities, indoors and outdoors, and into the local area and beyond. For example children enjoy trips to the library, park and local children's centre.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has an appropriate knowledge of the possible signs and symptoms of abuse that would cause her concern about a child's welfare and how to take action. She is alert to signs that a child or family may be at risk of extreme views and ideas. All adults working with children are appropriately vetted and suitable to work with children. Children are not left alone with anyone not known to Ofsted. There are good systems in place to supervise her assistants and offer ongoing support and guidance. The childminder carries out effective risk assessments of the premises to help her remove any hazards in the environment. She ensures good supervision of children, adult to child ratios are maintained at all times and adults are deployed effectively to help keep the children safe and meet their individual needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder observes children as they act and interact in their play, everyday activities and planned activities. She records significant development and plans for future learning. The childminder supports children's physical development well. For example, they enjoy climbing, running, jumping, sliding and other activities that challenge their large motor skills. Children are supported effectively to extend their literacy skills. For instance, they enjoy handling books and listening to stories that adults read. Children develop early mark-making and writing skills and are aware of print in the environment. The childminder encourages children's language development successfully. For example, children listen and remember simple stories and pictures and understand 'who', 'what' and 'where' questions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder offers children a healthy range of foods and drink to help them understand the importance of healthy lifestyles. Children learn about the wider world. For example, they join in celebrating different cultural festivals and enjoy tasting different foods such as Nigerian home-made rice. Children are well behaved, they share and take turns and are respectful of each other. They listen to adult instructions and help to tidy away resources.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for their next stage in learning, including their move on to school. Children enjoy make-believe play, and enjoy simple jokes. They describe events that have happened, for example, 'we went park'. Younger children copy sounds and words a lot. They enjoy pretend play such as feeding dolly. Children who speak English as an additional language develop the skills they need to communicate effectively.
