The childminder provides parents with frequent updates throughout the day to help them to be part of their child's learning experiences. n The childminder continuously reflects on and evaluates her practice. She makes adaptations to her provision and plans for new activities to support children's positive outcomes.

and knowledge are up to date and relevant. This helps her to support children's ongoing learning and development. n Children display positive behaviour from an early age. The childminder gives consistent praise and encouragement and leads by example. For instance, the childminder encourages children to use good manners and to be helpful to others. n Children experience a range of outdoor learning and visits to places of interest. Weekly visits to the library support children's language and literacy development. Trips to parks support children in learning about their environment. n The childminder completes regular observations of children's learning and collates information about their progress. She makes plans for future activities based on the children's achievements and interests. n Information given to parents about their child's progress does not always show a true reflection of what their children can do or have achieved.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has a good knowledge and understanding of how to protect children from harm. She regularly carries out risk assessments to ensure children are exposed to minimal hazards both indoors and on trips. The childminder has robust safeguarding procedures in place. She is astute to the signs and indicators of abuse and neglect and knows what to do should she have any concerns about a child in her care. The childminder has developed systems for reflection and evaluation. She includes the views of parents and children. This allows her to make meaningful changes to her provision to support families and children. For example, the childminder has introduced an effective system for sharing moments of the day as they happen with parents.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder ensures the environment is inviting for children. She consistently talks to children and asks meaningful questions to encourage their communication and understanding of the spoken word. For example, she asks children questions about items she has purchased in the pretend shop and seeks instructions on what to do with them. Children eagerly tell her the content of tins and boxes and inform her of how to cook them. The childminder supports children in their development of early mathematics and reinforces their understanding of numbers. She puts numerals in different orders and asks children to identify what number they represent. Children are challenged further by sorting coins. They look for numbers and shapes, discuss sizes and colours and are beginning to learn the value of individual coins. Children are developing good physical skills. They competently use tools as they dig in the sand and make marks.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children play outdoors daily and experience fresh air and physical activity. They confidently explore their area and engage in activities that develop their understanding of the world around them. Children watch birds as they come to feed in the garden, identifying them by name and colour. The childminder helps children to understand their emotions and behaviours. Together they discuss the impact of these on others and how to best support them. For example, the childminder asks children why they have a sad face or if they would like to have a cuddle. This helps to support children's emotional well-being. The childminder provides nutritious meals for children that are tailored to their individual needs to support their growth and development.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and motivated learners. They choose their own activities and resources with purpose and skill. For example, children carefully select items, such as leaves and windmills to review the speed of wind. Children are eager to learn new ideas and absorb information quickly. They listen to their childminder attentively and build positive relationships with others around them. Children develop the necessary skills needed for their future learning and eventual move to school.
