language. n The childminder occasionally provides activities that are too challenging for older children and therefore they do not learn as much as possible from them. n The childminder is skilled at including younger children in conversations and ensuring they are kept close to what the older children are doing. However, on occasion, they are not engaged in their own purposeful play.

n The inspector observed the interactions between the childminder and the minded children, both indoors and outside. n The inspector spoke to the childminder and the children. n The inspector carried out a shared observation with the childminder. n The inspector sampled the childminder's records. n The inspector took account of written feedback from parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a secure understanding of the possible signs that a child is at risk and is clear that she has a responsibility to safeguard children. She provides a risk-free environment for children and helps them to learn about keeping themselves safe. For example, older children quickly tell the childminder when a baby puts a toy in its mouth. The childminder reflects effectively on her practice using feedback from children and parents, and extends her skills using training, workshops and social media. She has used what she has learned to offer a greater variety of learning opportunities for children. The childminder works in close partnerships with other settings, sharing relevant information about children's progress to ensure a shared approach to their care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder makes accurate observations of children's progress and uses these to identify what they need to learn next. She ensures that she provides a range of interesting activities that generally meet their individual needs and help them to make good progress. The childminder uses effective teaching techniques. She showed children what to do as they took part in a new activity involving using pipettes to drip coloured water onto kitchen roll. She helped them to explore what happened and, when they talked about rainbows, she sang a rainbow song with them. The childminder encouraged younger children to experiment with sound as they banged spoons on metal dishes. The childminder supports children's mathematical development well. She uses a varied range of resources, such as number books, counting bears and numbered stacking blocks, to help them learn to count and identify different sizes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident and self-assured. The childminder offers them plenty of affection which helps them feel settled and lots of praise to boost their self-esteem. Older children confidently went into the playroom by themselves to select toys and books and fetch their shoes before going out. They show respect for one another. For example, one helped another to put on their shoes. Children are well behaved. They have good manners and know the rules. The childminder places a strong emphasis on sharing and children talk about taking turns. Children have good opportunities for physical play. They enjoy using the play equipment in the garden and regularly go out to parks too. They frequently go on outings in the local community, such as to the farm and the library, where they learn about the wider word around them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including the eventual move to school. They have a positive attitude to learning and trying new things. Older children concentrated well as they threaded different-shaped beads and used their imaginations as they decided they had made a snake. Younger children looked through plastic sheets of different colours, helping them to explore and observe changes.
