This provision is good

n The childminder observes and assesses children's learning and development in order to clearly identify their next steps in learning. She uses this information to put plans in place that help children to make good progress overall. n Children play well together. They learn from each other and develop good social skills, empathy and friendships. This helps to prepare children for school. n Partnerships with parents are well established. There is regular communication between parents and the childminder, which helps to ensure that everyone is knowledgeable about how to meet children's individual needs. n The childminder uses effective strategies to reinforce appropriate behaviour. For example, she uses regular, meaningful praise and encouragement. n The childminder encourages children to be independent. For example, she provides a stimulating environment that allows children to make choices about their play. The

childminder also helps children to learn how to put on their own coats and shoes. n The childminder has not considered all ways in which she can sharply enhance her programme of continuous professional development. n On occasions, the childminder does not challenge children enough during planned activities, and background noise sometimes has an impact on children's learning.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector viewed areas of the childminder's home used for childminding. She spoke to the childminder and children at appropriate times throughout the inspection. n The inspector observed play and learning opportunities for the children. n The inspector looked at policies, children's personal profiles and a range of other documentation, including evidence of qualifications and suitability of household members. n The inspector and childminder undertook a joint observation of an activity. n The inspector discussed self-evaluation and how the views of parents and children are included to drive improvement. She took account of the written views of parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. A good range of written policies and procedures are implemented successfully. The childminder is very clear with regard to her duty to protect children from abuse. She has attended training to ensure that she understands the procedures for referring concerns about the welfare of children. The childminder completes daily health and safety checks to ensure the indoor and outdoor environments are safe and secure for children. She shows commitment to develop her future practice overall. For example, parents are actively asked for their feedback through ongoing discussions and questionnaires. The childminder is aware of the importance of working in partnership with others who may provide care and learning in order to help children achieve their best.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder generally interacts well with children as she gets down to their level and plays alongside them. For example, she supports children as they persevere with jigsaws and make towers with building blocks. Communication and language development is supported well by the childminder. For example, she asks open questions that encourage children to develop their speech and language skills and motivate them to learn. All children, including the youngest children, become confident communicators. The childminder provides activities to encourage children's knowledge and understanding of the world. For example, children explore festivals such as Chinese New Year.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children form secure attachments and develop positive relationships with the childminder. Good settling-in procedures help to ensure that children are well supported in their transition from home into the setting. The childminder works closely with parents during this time to share relevant information about the children. The childminder supports children's physical development well, for example, by providing them with daily opportunities for outdoor play and exercise. Parents provide packed lunches for children, which the childminder ensures are healthy and nutritious. The childminder offers fruit and fresh drinks throughout the day, which helps to support children's healthy diet and lifestyle. Children attend a local playgroup where they develop social skills in preparation for school as they learn to mix with other children and adults.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and develop the skills they need for future learning and school when the time comes. For instance, they sit happily with the childminder and enjoy listening to stories. Children talk about the different pictures throughout the story. This supports children's developing interest in books and their early reading skills. Children enjoy drawing with coloured pencils, which supports their early writing skills. Children are happy and thrive developmentally and emotionally.
