n Since the last inspection, the childminder has developed strategies and resources for children to experiment with making marks and develop their early writing skills. n The childminder uses her good knowledge of children's development and interests to follow their lead when planning experiences. This helps contribute to their continued motivation and engagement in their learning. n Children develop trusting relationships with the childminder and are happy, safe and secure in her care. Her warm, nurturing manner promotes their emotional well-being effectively. n The childminder is a good role model. She teaches children to be polite and reminds them of the importance of sharing and taking turns. Children gain confidence in voicing their ideas and feel valued and respected. n The childminder reflects on her practice and makes excellent use of training to develop her knowledge and understanding of how to support children's learning further.

impact of recent training on how to extend children's vocabulary has been successful in securing good outcomes for children in communication and language. n Parents highly praise the care and support their children receive. n Although children are encouraged to use their imaginations in role play, the childminder does not always provide resources and materials that fully promote children's ability to be creative at the setting. n The childminder does not always provide a wide range of sensory materials to help younger children to explore, make links and notice patterns in their experiences.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to recognise and report safeguarding concerns and does not hesitate to act when she feels that she needs to protect children's welfare. She regularly checks her home for hazards and uses equipment, such as safety gates, to ensure children are safe from higher-risk areas. The childminder keeps her knowledge updated through regular training. She works in partnership with several childminding colleagues to plan joint activities and regularly rotates resources. This helps to ensure the range of activities and experiences meet children's interests and stages of development. The childminder values the views of parents and uses their feedback to develop her service. Relationships with parents are strong. The childminder regularly informs them of the daily activities that their children take part in and has frequent discussions with them about their children's progress and

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder knows the children very well and makes accurate assessments through good-quality observations. She continually talks to the children, describes what they are doing and introduces new words to support their early communication and language skills. Children select books to read with the childminder. They enjoy looking at pictures and learn to point to and name different characters. Young children develop an awareness of number, for example by counting out picnic plates and lining up pretend fruits as part of role play. The childminder is skilled at asking questions to determine children's understanding and gives them time to think and respond. She praises children's 'have a go' attempts at new learning to build their confidence and self-esteem. This was seen, for example, when children counted accurately and persisted with a challenging activity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder has a calm approach and sensitively supports children to understand the needs and feelings of others, which helps them to settle happily into routines. She models good manners and treats the children with respect, which contributes to the good behaviour they demonstrate. Children benefit from a warm and welcoming environment, with toys and resources easily accessible to support their play. The childminder takes children on regular walks to local parks and woodland, where they get lots of fresh air and exercise. This helps children to develop an awareness of the world around them as well as supporting their physical development and well-being.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their individual starting points. They listen attentively, learn new words quickly and are confident in using terms such as 'nectarine', 'spatula' and 'volcano' in their play. Children are curious and motivated to learn. The childminder regularly attends local play sessions outside of her home, where children engage in music and movement activities and meet and interact with other children and adults. This helps to secure good outcomes for children by promoting their ability to socialise with others, adapt to different routines and learn about their wider community.
