p.1

This provision is good

n Children enjoy their time in the childminder's stimulating and homely environment. They play well as a group, taking turns and forming positive relationships with one another. n The childminder continues to develop knowledge and skills that help improve her provision. For instance, she recently developed her knowledge about supporting children with special educational needs. She regularly refreshes her knowledge about the many ways she can keep children safe. n The childminder plans lots of activities which support children to develop their understanding of the world around them. For example, children enjoy exploring the local lake and growing their own fruit and flowers in her garden. n Younger children have good opportunities to develop their understanding of early mathematics. However, at times the childminder does not introduce sufficient challenge for older children with their mathematical activities.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder has formed good links with her local authority adviser. She attends regular provider meetings which help her to keep her knowledge about requirements up to date. She recently enjoyed training which gave her new ideas to support younger children with exploratory play. Following this, she has introduced new resources which encourage children to explore items with different textures and consistencies. The childminder regularly observes children, identifies gaps in their learning and plans next steps to take their learning forward. The childminder is confident in explaining local reporting procedures should she have concerns a child is at risk of harm. She undertakes daily risk assessments to make sure the environment is safe for children's play and learning. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy lots of community opportunities where they make new friends and develop their learning. For instance, children enjoy a music session at the local library which supports their early literacy skills and creativity. Children, including those who are learning English as an additional language, are confident communicators and make good progress with their speech. The childminder plans activities which support children to develop the small muscles in their hands in readiness for future writing. Younger children develop good mathematics skills, such as when they play with dough and identify numerals the childminder makes. Children learn about the cultures and festivals of others. For example, they decorate candles at Diwali and put up a tree for Christmas.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children learn to share toys and take turns as they play. They develop strong bonds with the childminder. Children get lots of fresh air and exercise through a good variety of activities. They enjoy sociable mealtimes where they are encouraged to share their thoughts and discuss healthy eating. Children learn to manage small risks, such as observing fish next to the lake and climbing on play equipment. The childminder works closely in partnership with parents to support children to develop their personal hygiene skills. She shares regular 'wow' moments with parents, which help children feel proud about their achievements. Parents value her regular communication and her flexibility when their needs change.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children behave well and make independent choices about their play and learning. They develop a love for books and eagerly discuss these with the childminder. Children enjoy a variety of imaginative play opportunities. Older children have lots of practice recognising and writing their names. Children learn nursery rhymes and experiment with a range of musical instruments. They are well prepared for school and their future learning.
