This provision is good

n The childminder reviews her provision regularly to help her meet all children's needs effectively. She has discussions with her assistant and seeks feedback from parents as ways to identify what she does well and where she can improve her service further. n The childminder provides clear boundaries for behaviour, to help children understand what they should or should not do. Children behave well and are kind and friendly towards others. They play alongside or with each other harmoniously and share resources fairly. n The childminder provides a good range of experiences to support children's literacy skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder attends regular training to help her maintain a good knowledge of a wide range of safeguarding issues. She is confident in describing the signs that may cause her to be concerned about a child's welfare and knows the procedure to follow in these circumstances. The childminder has robust policies and procedures to help her keep children safe and well. She ensures that her assistant is familiar with these and understands how to protect children from harm. The childminder seeks advice from her childminding adviser and attends training to help develop her professional skills and knowledge. She uses what she has learned effectively to improve the learning outcomes for children. For example, she has developed more-effective ways to support children's language skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder observes children closely and regularly reviews their development, to identify their interests and what they need to learn next. She uses this information to plan a good range of activities to promote children's learning. The childminder supports children's communication skills very well. For instance, she teaches children, who cannot yet speak, to use simple signs and gestures to express their needs. The childminder has developed strong links with other professionals, who are working with children to support their development. She works closely with them and with parents to ensure that children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make the best possible progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop strong emotional bonds with the childminder and her assistant, which nurture their confidence and well-being very effectively. The childminder ensures that children are able to exercise and play outdoors each day, as a way of promoting their physical health. She supports children's understanding of how to lead healthy lifestyles well. For instance, she provides a range of nutritious meals and snacks, and shows children that they need to wash their hands at appropriate times. The childminder values children's individuality and teaches them to understand and respect differences between themselves and others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their individual starting points, including children who speak English as an additional language, children with SEND and those receiving funding. They acquire a wide range of skills and knowledge that will support them well, as they work towards the next stages in their learning and the eventual move to school. Children are imaginative and express their thoughts and ideas in a range of different ways, such as through drawing pictures, role play and dancing.
