This provision is good

n The childminder evaluates her practice and that of her staff effectively. She identifies training that she and her staff can benefit from to enhance learning experiences for the children. Recent training has helped to support children's language development with how staff question children during their play. n The childminder and staff are consistent in their approach to behaviour management. They teach children the importance of sharing and working together to achieve a task. Children behave well. n The childminder provides good-quality activities, helping children to make good progress with their learning and development. n Opportunities are missed to extend on children's literacy development throughout the day. n Tracking of children's learning and development is not as accurate as it can be. Consequently, some activities are not tailored to further extend children's learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder has worked hard to make improvements since the last inspection. She now carries out suitability checks on all assistants and she is fully aware of notifying Ofsted of these changes. The childminder has worked closely with the owners of the building and has put in extra security measures to help to keep children safe. Fire equipment is readily available and fire drills are routinely carried out so children are aware of what to do in the event of an emergency. All records are easily accessible and daily registers are completed. The childminder and assistants are fully aware of the reporting procedures if they have any child protection concerns with the children. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder and assistants use children's starting points effectively to plan next steps of learning to help progress children's development. They work in good partnership with parents to share these, so they can all work together to help to progress children's learning. The childminder also gathers the views of the parents to shape the service she provides. Recent suggestions have been to improve the outside play spaces. The childminder has worked on these to make sure all ages of children can enjoy playing and learning outside. Children thoroughly enjoy learning what to do in the event of an emergency. For example, they learn how to put the childminder into the recovery position and the numbers to call for an ambulance. This helps children to learn about their own safety.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop secure bonds with the childminder and assistants, helping them to settle quickly, ready to start their learning. Children are all highly considerate of each other and help each other to get ready to play outside. Children have high levels of independence skills, developing their personal, social and emotional development well. The childminder develops children's physical development well. For instance, children learn how to manipulate tools to cut and shape play dough, as well as learning how to blow bubbles and climb the stairs on the slide. This range of activities helps to develop all areas of their physical development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are prepared well for the next stage of their learning and subsequent move to school. Children are highly confident learners who readily help and support each other to achieve their goals. For example, more-able children help others to put jigsaw blocks together to make a box. They problem solve how to build the sides taller without them collapsing. This helps to support children's emerging mathematical development as well as their physical skills. Children who are learning English as an additional language make good progress, given their starting points. They rapidly pick up English, developing their language well.
