This provision is good

n Children have close, affectionate attachments with the childminder. They clearly feel secure in her care and go to her confidently for reassurance and cuddles. n The childminder encourages children to do things for themselves and develop their independence. She provides warm praise when they show initiative, for example, as they fetch their shoes so she can help them to get ready to play outside. n The childminder works closely with parents to build a good picture of children's interests and needs when they join her setting. Parents are very complimentary about the care and attention the childminder gives their children. They say she is extremely kind and professional. n The childminder skilfully promotes children's language skills. She talks to the children as they play, asks questions and repeats words back to them. Children become confident communicators, which helps them to be ready for the next stage of their

learning. n Children benefit from a well-organised play environment. They have easy access to a wide selection of toys and equipment indoors and outside, enabling them to make choices and extend their own learning. n Although the childminder attends mandatory training, she is not as proactive in identifying professional development that helps her to continue to develop her teaching skills. n The childminder does not make the most of existing partnerships with other settings children attend in order to promote continuity in children's care and learning.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector looked at areas of the home and garden used by children. She had discussions with the childminder during the inspection and spoke with children at convenient times. n The inspector observed the children and their interactions with the childminder. n The inspector evaluated activities with the childminder to assess the quality of teaching and the impact this has on children's learning. n The inspector considered the views of parents through written comments. She checked essential documents, such as evidence of the suitability of household members and children's records.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder regularly updates her understanding of the possible signs of abuse. She has a comprehensive grasp of the procedures to follow if she should become aware that a child is at risk of harm. Children benefit from a warm, clean and safe environment. The childminder provides good levels of supervision to keep children safe. She teaches children about risks as, for example, she reminds older children about waiting points as they walk to and from school. The childminder collects the views of parents and children to help her to make changes and improvements to her provision. Parents comment that she is adaptable to their changing needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The experienced and qualified childminder has good teaching skills. She makes the most of spontaneous opportunities to extend children's learning. For example, children watch the bin lorry with interest and respond with delight as the driver waves. When older children notice a plane overhead, the childminder discusses where it might be going, encouraging them to voice their ideas. The childminder has an excellent understanding of children's skills, and what they need to learn next. She helps children focus on their activities by including their interests, such as favourite television characters. The childminder routinely assesses children's development and provides parents with regular reviews.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder provides children with a warm and nurturing environment where they thrive. Effective settling-in procedures help to ensure new children quickly develop their confidence and sense of well-being. The childminder teaches children how to share and take their turn. She patiently supports young children as they play together and is quick to praise them when they show kind and sharing behaviour. Children regularly socialise with other children at local toddler and activity groups. They play outdoors every day in the childminder's well-equipped garden. Walks to local play parks give children good opportunities to build their physical confidence on larger play equipment.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning. They develop the key skills they need for the next stage of their learning, including starting school. Children form good relationships with each other. They develop a good interest in music and listen well to stories. Children handle different kinds of media with confidence, such as sand and play dough. They begin to use numbers in their play as, for instance, they count building blocks.
