Children are happy and confident individuals who are well settled and demonstrate good attachments with the childminder and her assistants. n The childminder has embedded effective supervision sessions and swiftly identifies any further training needs. Assistants feel supported and demonstrate high expectations for all children in their care. n On occasions, older children do not demonstrate a good understanding of boundaries.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The well-qualified childminder and her assistants offer good levels of support for children and prepare them well for their next stage in learning. They share information with other early years providers regarding children's learning and continually review children's progress. This helps to provide a continued approach to children's learning and help identify any emerging gaps in their development. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder has detailed policies in place. Assistants understand where to seek further information should they require this and the correct procedure to follow in the event of a concern regarding the welfare of a child. The childminder and her assistants have a good understanding of the possible indicators of abuse and are vigilant in their approach. The childminder works closely with her assistants to continually review the quality of practice. She seeks parents' and children's views about the setting. Parents

are complimentary of the childminder and her assistants. They receive information regarding their children's learning and development and compliment the childminder and assistants on the care they provide for their children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The enthusiastic childminder and her assistants are responsive to children's needs and interests. Young children listen intently to familiar stories and join in with action songs and rhymes. This helps them to develop good communication skills. Children are provided with opportunities to develop an understanding of different cultures and traditions around the world and learn to develop respect towards others. Assistants offer very good levels of support for children and encourage them to manage their own chosen tasks. This helps to promote children's independence. Children's creative skills are well promoted. They excitedly tell others that they are making monsters when using glue and different collage materials.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder and her assistants talk to children about the importance of following good hygiene practices and promote ways for children to develop their self-care skills. Children are provided with healthy choices during mealtimes and dietary requirements are adhered to. The childminder and her assistants complete daily safety checks and provide opportunities for children to learn how to keep themselves safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They develop excellent communication skills and confidently talk to others about what they are playing with. Children demonstrate excellent hand-to-eye coordination. For example, they use large pegs and connect these to large outdoor frames. Children use a large variety of different materials to hang from the frame using these pegs and tell others they are hanging out their 'washing'. This demonstrates good imagination skills. Children learn to blow bubbles using a variety of bubble wands and soap solution, and laugh excitedly when chasing the bubbles outside. They learn to count and recognise the different shapes of the bubbles. This helps to promote their mathematical understanding. Children are well equipped with the key skills needed for their eventual move to school.
