p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder has addressed the recommendations raised at her last inspection and continues to identify ways to improve her provision. She reflects consistently on her practice and seeks the views of parents to help her to provide good-quality experiences for children. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a good knowledge of how to protect children from harm. She is aware of the various indicators of abuse and neglect. Children are further protected from harm as the childminder conducts rigorous risk assessments to ensure children are safe in their environment and when on outings.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are offered a range of resources to engage with and develop their learning. Babies play happily with rattles as they explore cause and effect. This helps to promote their inquisitive nature. The childminder places great emphasis on developing children's speech and language. She encourages young babies as they babble and make noises. The childminder responds to these sounds with facial expression and words to encourage interaction. Children enjoy singing number songs and rhymes. The childminder counts to three and refers to colours as she hands toys to children and places objects around for play. Older children enjoy solving puzzles. They work alongside the childminder to identify where the pieces might go and use their thinking skills to place these in the correct place. This helps to foster children's growing interest in mathematics. The childminder offers consistent praise and encouragement. This helps to

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder gathers information from parents about children's likes and dislikes prior to them starting in her care. She uses this information to help children settle and to feel a sense of belonging. Children's well-being is given high consideration. The childminder regularly talks to children and makes sure they are happy. She responds quickly to babies who are showing distress, identifies the cause for their upset and acts upon it. For example, she recognises when children are tired or hungry. The childminder promotes good hygiene procedures with all children. For instance, she supports babies to wash their hands before eating. Children are given the opportunity to rest when they need to. They happily respond to suggestions of sitting down with a comforter to rest, and babies enjoy a cuddle and soft nursery music to relax and sleep to. The childminder regularly checks on sleeping children to ensure their comfort and safety.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are beginning to show a natural curiosity and enjoyment in their play and learning. They show interest in exploring resources with their senses. This includes investigating foam and sand play. Children are learning the necessary skills for the next stages in their learning. They interact well with their others around them and display enjoyment from being in their company. Children show they are secure in their environment and are happy to access toys and resources that interest them.
